Welcome To The Chippy!
Chip shops have been a staple of British culture since the 19th century. It's almost impossible not to come across one of these iconic shops on our high streets. That smell of greasy goodness as you walk past is utterly mesmerising.
This build celebrates being in the sunshine (although rare in the UK), particularly in coastal regions where the chip shop is a hard place to not stop for an unmissable treat! Just beware of the seagulls!
The Build
This building has two floors to offer. The ground floor features a fully functioning fish and chip shop with adequate kitchen and serving space. The above features a furnished open-plan studio-style flat.
The Chippy has many facilities including:
- Two Deep Fryers
- Wrapping Station
- Food Prep and Wash Area
- Potato Peeling and Chipping Machine
- Hot Plate
- A Large Kitchen and Drinks Fridge
- Six Cabinets
Much great food is served here including Battered Cod, Fishcakes, Chips and more! Not forgetting the unmissable sides and condiments like Mushy Peas, Gravy and Pickled Eggs.
The shop’s White and Earth Blue colours reflect the calmness and saltiness of the ocean to help aid the frantic time known as ‘Lunch Hour’.
Upstairs, the studio flat features all the essentials. There’s a kitchen for knocking up a nice meal. A sofa bed to maximise space and enjoy watching the television. There are also many shelves for displaying books and models. Not forgetting the bathroom of course!
The vibrant, yellow building captures the sunshine vibe, taking inspiration from bright colourful, coastal housing dotted from all around the UK.
Extra Information
The build features just under 1200 parts.
Two minifigures are included in this set, a chip shop worker and a studio flat owner.
The base is approx. 8 x 48 studs.
This set truly celebrates the iconic dish we know and love still to this day! Transporting builders to a place of comfort food and warmth. This set is modular yet does not require a large amount of space.
