How how is that even possible? Are you posting from the 1990’s?
🙂
Fish is £2.30/2.40 ish and chips 80p I think. Large chips are £1.10 but it's just eating for the sake of it. And that's coming from a fat knacker!!
£4.50 in sunny armley where we go for dinner. £5.00 at local chippy.
Blimey, some cheap prices around! £8.50 for large cod and small chips in my surrey local. ‘‘Tis good though!
The OP is somewhere up north. 3 large chips will do a couple and their toddler.
I’ll think you’ll find 3 large chips is a full meal up north. Starter, Main and pud.
Haddock, chips & peas is around £7 in my local chippy (Rotherham).
A lot of the fish & chip shops that are cheap willl not be stating the fish species and will be serving Basa (Vietnamese catfish). Once battered, covered in salt & vinegar and covered in peas/gravy it's pretty much indistinguishable from cod.
Yep - well over £6 last time I had to get it. As others have said - anything less than a fiver and I be getting little concerned where the fish was coming from ... local sewer plant/Chernobyl/etc
That said ... there is a local chippy/chinese in Newport (just down from civic centre) that does a school day special for the kids. £3.00 for a small bag of chips, 2 fish bites and a small bottle of pop.
As long as you got a sturdy stomach ... there be no problems!
Battered jumbo and chips and a regular (still decent sized) haddock and chips is less than a tenner I think from the chippy I use in Cockermouth.
There’s two chippies fairly close to me, both are pretty good, the one I usually go to, which is owned and run by a Chinese family, does Cod with chips, and a pretty large piece of fish with a very generous portion of chips, for around £5.60, IIRC. And the fish is firm and flakes nicely, just how Cod should.
Damn, now I’m feeling like I need a big bag of F&C’s!
Yes lunch specials tend to be around £3 mark here for a little cut of fish and a few chips, just snack size though so not really the same leauge of a proper fish and chips.
Fish and chips near me is expensive, about £7 for a nice piece of fish, plus chips (civilised part of north london)
I went to huddersfield to pick up some fish and chips (we were staying around the corner), it was literally half the price. Price variation was ridiculous
Am I the only one who starts up with the intro lines from 'Sandy' from Grease after reading the thread title?
Just me then...
£5.50 here in Brixham but the cod is off the scale ace.
I don't get why most chippies do massive portions, I usually get cod and small chips and I still can't finish it (and I can eat a lot...)
Leeds chippy fans, try the Bearded Sailor in Pudsey.
The best fish and chips I've had.
There’s only one chip shop in Harrogate that doesn’t use Beef Dripping as the “oil” to cook the fish and chips in.
I didn’t believe it until I did the Friday night fetch chips supper and asked the owner/fryer what oil they used...
Bit of a shame for the Veggies in this world innit.
Go for the sausage, it's tastes better anyway. £2.50 here.
Just over a fiver for fish and chips here in Leeds at a number of great establishments. Haddock and fried in dripping, none of that pollock or veg oil nonsense.
The two best chippys in Fife are the Tailend in St Andrews and the Anstruther fish bar, both are about £6.50, both are getting on for about a fifty mile round trip for me, but I wouldn't risk anywhere nearer.
bout 50p over the odds round here that
£6.50 sounds good value. Our local which is good but nothing outstanding is around £8 for a small cod and chips.
I have been in there a couple of times when some old moaner starts making sarky comments about taking out a mortgage when it's time to pay. It's not like there's a massive price list that occupies the entire back wall of the chippy that allows you to make an informed decision before ordering.
I’m in Aylesbury Monday to Friday...
You poor sausage.
Bit of a shame for the Veggies in this world innit.
Maybe for those in Harrogate. There's always smug and lettuce in a pitta option 👍🏼
£3.50 cheapest my way (north of Huddersfield) smallish and not great, got 3 or 4 chippys within a mile £4.50-£6 is a regular price. (all proper chippy's, not pizza/curry/kebab houses).
compo's - holmfirth was always a favourite £5-6, or catch (more upmarket £12-14)
I don’t get why most chippies do massive portions, I usually get cod and small chips and I still can’t finish it (and I can eat a lot…)
Evidently not.
£5.80 in Skipton. They sell enough of them.
The dear wife's brought fish and chips twice, one carton of peas, one of curry home from the local - £11.50 here, nr Wakefield.
They were nice enough, but this fat sow couldn't finish them all.
Fish n' Chips has been a constant let down after the fish and chip I had in Kununurra, Western Australia in '94. Just done a 14 hour shift picking melons in proper heat and humidity without a meal and the two locals that ran the shop, clearly well gone, served me the most epic barramundi and chips with a free glass of crisp cold chardonnay. Eaten watching the sun go down over the atypical WA red mountains with a flock of parrots danced together before settling down for the night.
It's all gone down hill from then. If food is judged as much by location and context as it is flavour that would be the best meal of my life by a stretch.
You had me until "Chardonnay"
You had me until “Chardonnay”
This was 1994 - in Australia - different rules. 🙂
Far be it for me to criticise, but in the 8 years I lived in Burnley, I never found a chip shop that wasn't utterly shit, serving soggy chips, mean fish and, much to my never ending astonishment, closing at 6.30pm on a Friday!
Yes, chips cost more here in Yorkshire, but they're not utterly awful and that's worth a few quid I reckon.
Wot no gravy??! Sad.
Why do fish and chips improve the further away you get from the coast? Sea-side fish and chips are are almost always a disappointment.
Any edinburgh recommendations? I do like a good chippy but the initial excitement always wears off by half way.
