The price of fish, chips, oil, flour and peas has gone up a lot and fish and chip shops are putting prices up. Some are closing and customers are struggling to pay for the traditional Friday night treat. Is this the end of a great British tradition? As Tom would say, it was in the news

Sadly I am not sure about that. For a family it could be £50 for a fish supper and many could not afford that.

It’s far too steep for a decent portion. I’m tempted to bring my own newspaper to wrap it in.

Just done chippy tea here at Soze Manor.

£22 for 3 of us.

BUT! The portions are massive, so there’s leftovers to use tomorrow. Makes it a bargain.

Leftover chippy chips?

Unless you find a way to keep their texture?

Proper chip shops have slowly replaced by kebab or chicken shops over the years.

I'll have to have a go at making my own fish and chips.

£8.50 for fish and chips in Cheshire. The Footballers around these parts, don’t like to pay too much.

They’re half decent but not exactly the best I’ve ever eaten.

A decent chip supper is £16 here. However it is a good portion so split between the two of us, add two slices of bread or a bap and it fills us up. It is a treat though and not a weekly occurrence.

I think it’s about £5.50 in the village. It’s much better value than a takeaway pizza though

That is from a proper chippy. You can get cheaper £12-14 but it’s from a kebab / burger place which isn’t proper fish & chips

There's a lovely chippy that's half in Market Deeping, not to be confused with the other one that keeps boasting about it's awards.

Anybody that can serve fish cakes, that tastes of fish and then serve mackerel, knows how and deserves to take my money.

It's not a cheap meal these days. There's a lovely one in Burntisland but it'll set you back a tenner fir a fish supper

Paid £8 for a small cod and £4.50 for a large bag of chips down south near London the other Friday. Scandalous prices.

I have a cracking chippie down the road from me, I think a large cod and large chips is about £10/11 or so, but honestly, it'll feed two adults easily.

£10 but the fish is the length of a person's torso.

I am not sure you could ever replicate the taste though. And what would you charge for a meal for one, £1.37 or £1.38

That does sound d a bit steep at the upper end, especially for the kids meals but I suppose it also depends on the area.

Don’t forget everyone that for every £10 spent at the fish and chip shop the proprietor has to pay back to the Government £1.66 in VAT.

And nearly every piece of cod you eat comes from miles away. We used to be able to catch cod off the beach in the UK but they have all gone (the sea is too warm these days) so either the boats have to burn loads of fuel to get to the fish or they have to be transported by air/ truck. Either way very expensive!

Same town, just prices from four different shops, two are fairly cheap, the others not so, why it baffles me

We had a chippy tea the other night. Pie and chips and cod and chips with two cans and didn’t get much change from £15! Don’t know how people afford it when they have kids too!

Have to b from a chippy as they use wet fish and batter it themselves! Wouldn't think any cafes/pubs do certainly not the chains! And proper chips theve made themselves from potatoes not frozen or chilled ones! Used to work in a couple of chippys! Took left overs home x

Often when times get harder and disposal cash is less it's the better businesses that survive. Supply cost are what they are. There always money somewhere for truly decent products, not so much for the mediocre, overpriced and/or overhyped. Chip shops are just the same. Those chip shops that are legend and always have a queue a mile long out the front on a Friday night have nothing to fear.

I don't eat many takeaways but they're around the same price as McDonalds, KFC and Burger King.. each are around £7-9 especially if going large, and in all honesty I've never had a good one apart from the start of the pandemic when they bothered about hygiene and customers. Now it's back to usual service of burgers that have been thrown around the kitchen for 1/2hr.

When you find a decent chip shop you are pretty well guaranteed a standard from week to week. Round here it's about £7ish and should have a rosette.

I can certainly make nicer burgers than the commercial ones but I can never make any fish and chips as good as that from a great fish and chips shop. Around here it's still about £7 but it's a nice one. I don't have it often but when I do I like a jumbo one with a tea cake to go with it of course
