Good Galway Grub?

What's your name, surname? A lot of places have their name in it (or a made up name)
Look at the golden pages online for Ireland or other places (London etc) for takeaway/restaurant and you'll get loads of ideas.

on a slightly related note why is it 'four star pizza', why not five star pizza?

Play on heritage. Food of the Tribesman, The Tribesman, Tribesman Takeaway.

Btw, if you use any of these, you owe one of us a takeaway!

Because some pikey stole one of the stars outside the shop and so then it became four star pizza.

Srs? I've seen loads of people on here talk about 'knackers', 'tinkers' and so on and never get infracted.

Pikey is probably the least offensive 'slang' term you could use anyway, most people don't even use it to refer to Members of the Travelling Community®

On a completely unrelated note, call it Dirty Filthy Chipsies

soundbyte

Tasty Burgers.

Or Tashty-macs.

Following on from that, call it Dirty Filthy Chipsies

How come you didnt just get a warning for saying all those 'bad language' words?

Don't know about you but I'd rather not tuck into a kebab while staring at what's left of Kurt Cobain's head.

Wompa1

I'm the opposite. I like my kebabs loaded with lettuce, kebab sauce and morbid fascination of was he really as miserable as he seemed?

Obvious answer=Yes

Isn't that just how everyone from Tuam refers to themselves? That what my Tuam friends call themselves anyway.
Thought it was appropriate since it's on Tuam road.

If inappropriate I'll remove it of course.

By chance I was in Athlone at the weekend. It's called De Mad Hoor but close enough. I had a cheese burger which was lovely. Except they put garlic mayo on it for some reason. OP, don't do that Kthxbye.
There's one in the north called For Cod and Ulster. Mightn't go down too well here.

Call it Fred.

I've always wanted to call something Fred, and figure if I keep suggesting it often enough it'll stick somewhere.

Give it a turkish name. You won't do go business in a Galway take-away unless you're turkish. Look at how many charcoal grills have sprung up about the place !

nothing says turkish cuisine like pizzas and burgers, right?

xp90

Tittycum takeaway sounds turkish?


Knacker dwarf takeaway

Warty Nora,

youd have to factor in the cost of endorsements though...

"bitz and pizzas"

OP are you looking for a gimmicky name, as in will the decor be quirky, or do you think 'any publicity is good publicity' (mink man's sam and ella is funny and memorable:D), but are you ok with 'that kind' of funny?

If it's just a regular chipper, nothing special, surely people will judge it on price, chips etc. You could just call it 'AL's'

There you go 'AL's';)

or how about 'Midnight Oil'

Ok according to this thread it may or may not be derogatory depending on who's using it or if they're in Tuam or Galway.

No offence intended to Tuam shams. Guess I'll have to be more careful when using it from now on and only use it in Tuam or when asking for Saw Doc's music.

On a related note do you want advice/suggestions (maybe open another thread) but here's mine anyway:

• PRICE, PRICE, PRICE. If the food is nice but expensive I won't go there often. Most places take the pis$- charge an extra 80c for cheese, extra for sauce on burger etc. That annoys the hell out of me.
• homemade style chips (as distinct to the 'frozen' chips that are all the exact same size (like what you normally get from a chip van).
• Good selection- look at Scottys Steak house and see how many selections they have for toppings etc.
• Quickish service. i'd imagine a lot of people get take away and drive home so they don't want to be waiting 10 mins. (even though I know it takes a certain time to cook stuff).
• Try to be friendly. There's a chipper in Douglas, Cork (KC's) that's as famous for their humour as their nice food.
• Set up Facebook page, twitter etc. Promote. Look at Mr Waffle that opened opposite the hospital and their Facebook page (had pics of building while being decked out etc. had good hype built before they opened.
