Judi Dench's Fish & Chips is a restaurant chain that sells fish & chips and is located in London.

Description[edit]

Judi Dench's Fish & Chips has both dine-in and drive-thru service. It is a popular stop for sightseeing buses, whose passengers are guilt-tripped into buying from the restaurant. Its drive-thru has speakers on two different levels to accommodate passengers on the upper deck of double-decker buses.

History[edit]

When the Simpson family were sightseeing in London, their bus stopped at the restaurant and pulled into the drive-thru. The cashier came on the speaker and announced that the restaurant was "now entirely free of mad fish disease." Homer was hesitant to order, but the cashier begged him to buy something or Judi Dench would be angry: "She'll beat us, she will." Dench's voice was then heard over the speaker, demanding to know who the cashier was talking to. The cashier replied, "No one, mum, I swear." Then, the sound of sharp blows (along with the clerk's cries of protest) came over the speaker.

Behind the Laughter[edit]

The joke was inspired by Arthur Treacher's Fish & Chips, an American restaurant chain named for English actor Arthur Treacher.[1]
