There’s a restaurant in Skipton, North Yorks, called Calico Jacks, and I am obsessed with it though I have never dined there for fear of shattering the spell. While it is also cajun/pirate themed, it bears no relation to the imaginary Sheffield business, Calico Jaxx.

To the best of my recollection, when I was a youth, Calico Jacks housed a scooter shop selling Vespas and that.
