Peter Kay stuns chippy staff as he pops in for surprise order - and it wasn't garlic bread

Bolton comedian Peter Kay worked staff at a Lancashire chip shop in a frenzy as he popped in for a bite to eat. The star, who is in the middle of a huge UK stand-up tour, treated himself to the popular dish at the Atkinson's chippy on Albert Road in Morecambe on Wednesday night (August 2). Dressed in casual attire, staff said it marked the second time he had visited the eatery.

Sharing a photo taken of the star, Atkinson’s posted on social media: "We’ve had a very special and famous visitor come down to visit us recently.

Lancs Live reported Atkinson's added: "This is his SECOND time visiting us in our cafe on Albert Road! We might not have provided garlic bread, but he certainly loved his fish & chips. I’m sure we will see him again soon!"

One fan replied to the photo: "He knows where good fish and chips are." Another said: "You can’t beat your fish and chips." One other said: "Love Peter Kay as he’s fabulous".

Peter’s current 'Better Late Than Never Tour', which marks his return to stand-up after taking a 12-year-break from the spotlight due to 'unforeseen family circumstances', will feature more than 100 shows between 2022 and 2025.

The tour kicked off in Manchester in December and he will return to the city-region again in September. He is next set to perform two nights in Sheffield on August 11 and 12.

The M.E.N’s review of the first show on the tour said it was like the star had ‘never been away’ and featured his ‘brilliant observations on everyday life’.
