'WE'RE SELLING CHIPPY, BUT IT'S NOT CLOSING'
Liverpool Echo
|November 18, 2025
ONE of Liverpool's best-known fish and chip shops has quashed online speculation that it could be closing - but confirmed there are plans for its sale.
-
Byrnes has been feeding happy customers for four generations, ever since Patrick Joseph Byrne opened his fish and chip shop on Stuart Road, Walton in 1932.
The immensely popular chippy, considered by many to be the best in the city and billed on its website as the city's “favourite", was run by Barbara and David Dickson and their sons, across the years.
Nowadays, the shop is run by great-grandchildren Francis and Mark, who have continued their family’s frying tradition.
In 2019, the family opened a second, larger site on Muirhead Avenue East on the border of Norris Green and West Derby.
In 2022, the team closed that site due to rising costs - but the Stuart Road branch stayed open.
