Fish, large chips and mushy peas £4.75 from a local sit down cafe, take away is marginally cheaper. The fish is supposed to be cod, but the fillet is so thin it could well be eel. I still go back though as it tastes great and I can eat it fresh and hot in the cafe rather than have it go all soggy by the time I get home.

I am relatively new to this country so can't comment on how much more expensive it is now, but I do feel that less than £5 for a satisfying, hot, fresh cooked meal is very good value. And that is before you compare it to the muck that McDonalds charges you more for.

£5. Fish, Large Chips, Peas/curry sauce. And it's bloody beautiful. Pretty sure I paid something like £9 for MINI fish and chips in Stratford last year1

[Mobile Chicane]

Tom Aikens briefly had a chippy in Chelsea which charged £12 for a fish finger-sized piece of gurnard (a fish used for baiting lobster pots) and about ten chips.

Even in SW3, it wasn't going to last long at those prices.

Between £5 to £8, dependent on which side of Swansea you are on.

Not exactly fish n chips but egg, chips & beans are 99p in a cafe in Wigan!
I kid you not!

Small cod & chips (plenty big enough for me) £5.00 from the visiting van. Cooked to order. Very tasty.

Gurnard is well worth eating - not at that price, granted...

Excellent Haddock and Chips at lunchtime in Grimsby yesterday £2.25 half size portion of fish and chips but ideal for lunch and very very good indeed

[Chapppers]

Argh you bds, I'm going to have to have chips and mushy peas at least now or dinner

[Countdown]

Fish varies from £2.25 up to £3.60
Chips from £1.05 to £1.50

North Manchester

My local chippy in Rochester, Kent...

Medium cod £4.00
Large cod £4.60

Medium chips £1.40
Large chips £2.20

So, large cod and medium chips is £6. (note: the medium chips portion is huge, more than enough for two people)

[Jer_1974]

£5.50 for fish and chips just outside Glasgow. Or special fish £6.50 (done in breadcrumbs).

North London, horrendous prices and not great quality

"Cheapie" place: £6 for small cod and chips
"Posh" place £8 for small cod and chips

[Pferdestarke]

Haddock, chips and peas are around £6 here in South Yorkshire.

Quality varies massively, even from the same place. It's the chips that differ with the potato crop.

It always seems to be the chips that will let a chippy down if anything will. Really should be the easiest to get right, but too often you find them underdone or shops willing to serve them after they have sat in a warming tray for too long and have dried out and cooled down too much.

Starving now!!!

Glasgow city centre, at least a fiver even in the dodgy places round here for named fish and chips.

My favourite chippy charges about £7 for a large cod or rock, £8 for plaice or halibut, £8.50 for a skate wing, about £2 for a standard portion of chips (ample for two people). Not particularly cheap but really fresh straight from the sea, chips are perfect. Actually the skate wings are generally immense so actually when you consider supermarket prices, they're not asking too much.

About 4.50 for cod and chips (Northampton). Never yet finished the full portion, they only seem to do one size portion of chips which could feed a family.
