I can’t see the profit in that. I’m sure if it was proper filth it would cost as little as £4 to make. Money laundering is my guess
Surely not. £4 to make a small pizza and fries?!

Planning to go there on Saturday as part of an airport run. It’s been a while!

What about the fancy equipment, utilities, staff, premises rental, packaging, ingredients, and endless other costs...

At £4.60 I reckon there is about £1.60 in profit in that. That’s fag packet calculations, I work with takeaway owners and cash and carries, I also eat a lot of cheap takeaways. Some places might be fronts but most cheap places rely on volume.

I’ve spent hours in cheap chicken shops, they move serious volume. One of my regular haunts buys in whole chickens at £2 each. It’s sold on after being cooked for £6.49, more if you want chips and a drink with it. Decent profit margin!

They have a "Party Bus" at my local McD's, an old Routemaster. It doesn't go anywhere, but shove a load of kids on it for a birthday party, give a homeless bloke a tenner to dress up as Ronald McDonald, and see how much "free food" the little chavs can stuff themselves with over a few hours.
Then charge for the privilege of using a rusted out old bus from the scrapyard. And no doubt the food comes at a premium cost to Chav Mum, as she sits in the flat-roofed pub down the road, sinking glass after glass of Prosecco as she weeps quietly to herself before being picked up and boned by the first man who shows her a bit of sympathy.
Ace, innit?

I thought about £3, too. That’s before overhead. Making a quid isn’t a good model unless you’re up to something else.

One from a little while ago. Long time lurker/admirer, this is my first post.

Donner meat and salad, naan freshly rejuvenated at home.

My god, it was grim. I rarely have donner kebabs so maybe my constitution wasn't up to the job of digesting it. Felt really bad the next day.

Interesting pour job on that sauce. Must have timed the simultaneous pour-on well.

Funny thing, mono-colour takeaways do look grim but there something about vividly coloured ones which looks a bit on the 'danger! danger!' side too. Like those yellow and black frogs so coloured to warn off predators.

Yesterday featured an underwhelming lunch from Chicken Cottage -


Chicken fillet burger and a 5 chicken wings meal. Wings didn’t taste that nice, very bland. Boss man didn’t bless it. 2/5 not peng fam.

Dinner was a disappointing mixed grill meal with chicken shawarma meat from a kebab house in Harehills that I used to frequent quite a few years ago.



No real flavour to the shawarma and more importantly no toum! 2/5 again, allow it.

Surprisingly, it came in a box:



Contents of said box:



Crispy duck, post shredding:



The rest of my share - salt and pepper squid, wings, spring rolls, Singapore fried rice (additional chillis are my little touch), and roast pork in some kind of sauce (I forget which):



Pretty, pretty, tasty yum

That price would have a one in front of the eight in my town. I may write to my MP to expose this scandal, or at least raise the issue in the HoC

I’ll have a chat with some takeaway owners I know and get their opinion on profit margins.

not mine... but popped up on my Facebook, I thought it was suitably beige for this thread...
