It's Huntley's fish and chips I think - they have just opened one in York.

Pratts Bottom just outside Orpington. Badgers Mount near Sevenoaks. Those are 2 I know of in Kent.
Oh and this:
The site that photo links to lists a lot of places with strange/funny names.

There's a place in Donegal called Muff, and it's near the sea so can go diving in it
whilst googleing it one of the suggestions was "doctor's near Muff, Donegal"

IIRC, Twice Brewed is further along the Military Road, David.
There are "Pity Me", and "No Place" in Co. Durham.
