Binley's Mega TikTok success prompts Gareth's song to celebrate 31 other fish and chip shops in Coventry



AS BINLEY Mega Chippy continues on its viral journey around the Internet and the World, a Coventry man has created a new video calling on people to celebrate the city’s 31 other fish and chip shops.

Gareth Withers’ short one-minute 13second film which starts with ‘We’ll take your Binley Mega Chippy and raise you…..’

In a cleverly written song he then lists the 31 others with accompanying pictures of each one.

It concludes with: “Feed your hunger – we’re the Coventry chip shops – coming at the people with some haddock and a mic drop!”

The song is on YouTube (watch above) and also on Facebook, Twitter and TikTok – where Binley Mega Chippy found its now global success.

Gareth, who has written a number of parody songs for Coventry City FC, told the Observer: “I didn’t know much about the Binley Mega Chippy video but people got in touch with me and said I should do a song to highlight the other great fish and chip shops we have in the city.”

Gareth got a list of the chip shops and visited as many as he could to get selfies outside, using general pics of the rest.

“I have had some great feedback on social media and it has got a lot of people to come forward and let others know what their favourite chip shop is.

“I’m hoping the song will encourage more people to support and celebrate their local chippy.

“Maybe, now our year as the UK City of Culture is coming to an end, Coventry could spend the next 12 months as ‘The City of Chip Shops’.”
