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.

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.
Gurnard is well worth eating - not at that price, granted...Even in SW3, it wasn't going to last long at those prices.
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.
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.
