Edinburgh Bicycle's own brand ones are decent.

Madison Sportive bibs. Very good value for money.

Have a look at tennoutdoors

Unbeatable for good quality and price IMO

The shorts from Aldi & Lidl are pretty decent but they only have them once in a while.

Decathlon are decent, if you are fat I've got some spare xxl ones (new). I picked them up as they were peanuts on Decahlon's sale rack.

Think you need to be a bit more specific with requirements.
Half decent for a 1hr mtb blast after work and half decent for a 6hr road ride are massively different.

+1 decathlon

But my new favourite pair are some fakes from china. £20 for shorts and top, shame they didn't do more plain options, just picked the Lotto Sudal kit as I quite like it.

The chamois is very thick, but fits (me at least) perfectly.

If you don't mind logos the zipvit bibshorts are cheap (often on sale too) and have a great pad

What ianc said, above. The tennoutdoors stuff I have has been excellent. And I don't think that anyone has a better price.
