In south Derry it's never referred to as the chip shop.
It would be along the lines of 'do you fancy a Chippy tonight'. And said Chippy would be obtained from the Chippy.
It's never called a chipper either.

Any recommendations for chippy's in that part of the word?

Agreed. "Scoops" makes absolutely no sense and makes you sound like a clown

I hear young ones talk about scran (I think) for food. Was that word always about?
I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

The chipper is the machine inside the chippy that you feed spuds into and chips come out the other end.

In the Just Eat app it has a menu option for "Traditional Chipper" where all the nearby Chippers are.
Must be different for you Brits.

They say it in Ballymena and Newcastle England. I think they might say it in Carlisle too.

Yes would first have heard the Ballymena shams talking about scran 30 years ago.
