I started this poll and then found myself without the time to invest in it, which is a shame. Chicken cottage ftw btw; I don't need my zingers to come bearing crowns.

Ha ha! I've often walked past Chickpizz on the way to / from The Londesborough / Clissold Crescent, and never been inside.

I went into a Dixy on Stokey High St in the summer and was destroyed the next day : the overly spicey batter and generally shittyness of the food ruined me for the rest of the weekend.

also, chicken cottage wins because there's a picture of two cocks doing it up the bum? CHICKEN? COTTAGE?? DO YOU SEE?

Because you have the option of buying it in a bucket. Any food served in a bucket appeals to the consumer. The ultimate fast food eatery would be called ' Bucket Feed'. It's all about the bucket - the word - Bucket.

I don't know about a Chicken Portal, but there once was a Fish Port, located right next to Chicken Planet until the city shut it down (Fish Port. Chicken Planet is still going strong):

Feel I need to mention FISHCOTEQUE here, for no other reason other than BEST NAME EVER.

That reminds me: I went to a seafood disco last week...

― I never saw the advantage of peeing while standing. (Upt0eleven), Wednesday, 4 November 2009 14:42 (fifteen years ago)

I'm into Orlando Fried Chicken on Kingsland Rd. Its the little details that get me - like the map of the USA on the signage that omits Florida.

also, the Chickpizz logo: a chick ...standing next to a pizza. Genius.

― d90 (D90), Wednesday, 4 November 2009 14:42 (fifteen years ago)

fishcotheque!

what's the punchline to seafood disco again?

Fishcotheque is good*, but there's also ROCK & SOLE PLAICE.

*namewise; can't comment on food

― salsa shark, Wednesday, 4 November 2009 15:01 (fifteen years ago)

The Rock & Sole Plaice (if it's the one I'm thinking of) has better chips.

But come on, FISCOTEQUE was on the cover of a Jazz Butcher album, how can you not love it?

― Persian Pickle (Masonic Boom), Wednesday, 4 November 2009 15:02 (fifteen years ago)

Fishcotheque would win it for me if it actually involved fish AND a discotheque

― salsa shark, Wednesday, 4 November 2009 15:04 (fifteen years ago)

or has three puns like rock and soul plaice

― ken "save-a-finn" c (ken c), Wednesday, 4 November 2009 15:11 (fifteen years ago)

sole? soul would lose the fish element but add a music element

― ken "save-a-finn" c (ken c), Wednesday, 4 November 2009 15:12 (fifteen years ago)

there was a shoe shop called sole trader which was pretty classic

― ken "save-a-finn" c (ken c), Wednesday, 4 November 2009 15:12 (fifteen years ago)

There was a goth band called the Soul Traders.

― Persian Pickle (Masonic Boom), Wednesday, 4 November 2009 15:13 (fifteen years ago)

not quite as good as they're not technically traders?

― ken "save-a-finn" c (ken c), Wednesday, 4 November 2009 15:14 (fifteen years ago)

oh i see now it was like an exchange of soul for gothy things type pun

Not a chicken shop, but the most ill-thought-out fast food name I ever saw was the 'Silver Fish Bar' next to Nunhead station.
