Fish and Chips - not a cheap meal anymore

It’s very good around here, we share a pensioners portion of fish and chips as it’s so large for just one. It’s £8.00

We went down South yesterday and had cod and chips for 8 people, and one steak and kidney pie it cost £52.00. Too much to eat, so lots of leftovers.

So still reasonable to me.

In some pubs fish and chips can
Be £20 plus. Everything has gone up, just double it and maybe even add a nought. Why not?
Wine in a pub £40.? What sort of markup is that, then they add 12% service to the bill. Making more on a bottle costing a fraction of £40. Double bubble, .
Apparently inflation is down to 4% If only,

My fish and chip shop must be making a fortune then. We worked it out that for a family of 4 it could cost upwards of £40 to £50.00p and they have a Q every Friday night!

Where I live it's around about £10 for a large portion of haddock and chips. It's my local chippy and it's won awards so I'm happy with that

The prices of fish, cooking oil and fuel have risen so much lately - apparently many fish and chip shops have closed because people can’t afford the prices except as a treat.

It's around £10.00 locally for a smallish portion...a large fish and chips would cost around £13.00 although to be fair, the large portion is more than enough for two people.

The prices, certainly in my region of London have shot up. The average here is over £12 and once I was scammed for £18. As my Dad would have said "he saw you coming".

Unfortunately my local has closed down and it is over 2 miles to the next decent one but there is rarely any parking so I have given up.

As you say, it used to be a cheap and substantial meal. The chippy near me now charges £11 for cod and chips, and it isn't a huge portion by any means.
I do enjoy it, but limit it to once a month nowadays.
