Are these still around. Mostly Fish shops these days. One of the best is Lifeboat in Scarborough. Has anyone been to Compos fish and Chips in Holmfirth
 
We have one comes around on a Thursday between 5 and 6pm, it cost £14.50 for fish and chips, which is expensive around here, most takeaways are about £9
 
Oh! What a disappointment - it's wasn't "a hilarious name" ... but it does have the following wording on the side of the driver's cab: "Fish & Chip Saloon". 'Saloon'? That's not the first word I'd associate with a chippy - and - the van isn't an 'eat in' affair, so ....?

Maybe they got confused with the Wild West where it wasn't the fish that got battered regularly. :P
 
As an aside did anyone have mobile shop vans in their area at one time. I remember then with great fondness , they sold everything and you could of course get sweets when the shops were closed , I think Supermarkets or perhaps regulations were their death knell.
