Good news for anyone who has ever craved fish and chips on the way to and from Manchester Piccadilly Train Station - Station Approach is to get its first traditional chippy. A vacant unit on Piccadilly Approach has been snapped up for the new fish and chip venture, with works starting soon on the site.
The owners say it will be a "cool chip shop" with stainless steel interiors. But while it will have a modern interior, it will be a traditional fish and chips menu with all the usual mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy accompaniments.
The business, set to be called The Chip Shop, is taking over from the former Northern Soul sandwich cafe at the bottom end of Piccadilly Approach next to Cafe Nero. In recent years the route up to the train station has become a hotspot for food and drink openings in the sweeping Gateway House, with popular additions including Archie's burgers, the Piccadilly Tap and Bravissimi Italian.
