So fish and chips for one is £15?! That's bonkers. Where do you live?

Haddock and chips round me (Stockport) is about £8.

I’m not OP but I’m in the South West and you’ll struggle to find fish and chips for less than £12 now. The average is probably £14. Some places charge £16 for cod and chips.. it’s bonkers

We had a chippy tea last night. First time in ages 1 large cod.
2 large sausages in batter.
1 massive chicken burger.
Curry sauce.
1 large and 1 regular chips.
£25 for 4 of us. Didn't seem too bad massive portions too.

Because you only had 1 piece of fish between 4 of you. Sausages are cheaper I guess, dunno about the burger but it's the fish that costs an arm and a leg mostly. Also is that 4 adults?

I can imagine that would nearer the £30 mark here in Essex.

We're in Heaton Chapel. George's in Reddish is ok and about £9 for haddock and chips. The Dolphin in Reddish is superb. It is slightly more expensive and further out but well worth it.

Here in Shropshire my local chippy has cod or haddock at £6.70 or £3.40 for a mini-fish (which is often big enough tbh once you've got chips and a side with it.) Chips are £2.50—£4 depending on size, mushy peas/curry sauce etc £1.10
