"I don't think we will change the name because this is the history 160 years ago. I'm using only play on words for the name and nothing else.
"Some people hate it, but some people love it. They stop in the traffic and say they like it.
"The customers who actually come inside our shop always say, 'Ah yeah it's a play on words' and they've always loved our food and the friendly atmosphere that we bring to our customers."
