The Clippy's Story

The Clippy is a beautifully restored 1950 Leyland Titan PD2/3, a vintage double-decker bus that once served the streets of post-war Britain with pride and reliability. Today, this iconic vehicle has been lovingly reimagined by Fletcher’s Restaurant, transforming it into a unique and vibrant street food hub now parked at Place de Brest in Plymouth city centre, just a stone’s throw from the Armada Way children’s play area.

Meticulously restored to preserve its classic post-war charm, The Clippy now offers a one-of-a-kind dining experience, combining delicious street food with a nostalgic slice of British history. Its stunning vintage aesthetic, both inside and out, makes it a true landmark in the heart of the city, drawing locals and visitors alike for a taste of something special.

Whether you’re looking for a quick bite while exploring Plymouth or a unique culinary experience aboard a historic bus, The Clippy delivers both in style. Visit us and savour the perfect blend of history, charm, and flavour at this extraordinary street food destination.
