Chip Shop Prices- regional differences

Out of interest how much is Battered Cod and Chips in your area. My preffered chippy for battered cod and chips is £5 with a portion of chips at most chip shops in the area costing £1.30. This is west Midlands.

Surrey - £3.00 for a small fish and chips.

Don't know about Cod but there is a Chippy in my village that does a large portion of chips that will feed three for £1.20. Surely must take some beating.

East Midlands - Nottingham.

Is about £6.00 nowadays.

Tend to have haddock nowadays though if going to the chippy what with the cod shortage etc.

Regional price differences don't matter everybody knows if fish 'n' chips are from south of the Northern border they aren't worth purchasing!

Humm it was about £4 for fish and chips back in MK (this was for the best one in the area though)

Up in Belfast though, havnt really looked too hard, i think around uni for me its a bit less around £3.50 is my estimate....

Really depends on how close to the sea, supplys of cod and how good the batter is....

About £2.60 for a Fish n Chip.

Ping wing clearly lives in the expensive side of town.

You know I think I'll pop down to mine tonight, never been there before and I fancy a chow.

It was around £4.00 around here a while back, who knows what it is now.

Dunno about small fish, but I think it's about £5 for standard fish and chips from my local place.

Here in sunny, well it is atm, Buckinghamshire my local chippy charges £4.45 for regular sized fish and chips.

About £4 in Buxton (Derbyshire, East Midlands) for a fish and chips, depending where you go. Chips are about £1 for a normal portion, or £1.30-1.50 for a large portion.

Incidentally anyone know of a good one in Berkshire?

They don't exist south of the northen border

Wouldn't know, I've never bought fish and chips in Cambridge.

I live in Kent and prices for Cod & Chips at my local chippy are;

Small £4.25
Medium £4.50
Large £5

The prices are right for me as it is always a large portion of chips, enough to feed 3 people, and the price difference is only relative to the size of the battered cod where the large one is enough to fill me up for the day.
