Bishopthorpe fish and chip shop reopens after refurbishment

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 2 Nov, 13:10 · Archive

Bish'N'Chips in Bishopthorpe, York, has reopened under new owner Phil Philippou after refurbishment.

Bish'N'Chips in Sim Balk Lane, Bishopthorpe, has reopened following a change of ownership and major refurbishment. The fish and chip shop closed in early September and is now operating under Phil Philippou, who acquired it from Tom Gibbons after six years of operation under the previous owner.

Philippou has nearly 40 years of experience in the fish and chip industry, having started work at the age of 16. He has previously worked at Drakes York, Drakes Knaresborough and Drakes Leeds. He said he was attracted to Bish'N'Chips because of its village location and his belief that 'with some investment, fresh ideas and the right approach, we could create something really special'.

The business has undergone a full refurbishment with new branding, a refreshed interior and improvements behind the scenes. The menu has been updated to include new options such as scampi, chicken bites, salt and pepper squid and children's meals, whilst retaining traditional fish and chip shop favourites. The shop operates Wednesday to Saturday. Philippou said: 'It's been a busy few weeks, but we're extremely pleased with the transformation.'
