I may well be out of touch but I've just paid £6 for a small battered sausage large chips and a can of Coke. I questioned it to find it was right. The large portion of chopped up potatoes was 3 pounds fucking 20. Is this normal?

There's one in Galley Common, fish, chips and peas for about £3. Have a pizza as well for £3 and job done.

The chips should serve about 4 people though?

Chippies in Cov are expensive. Much cheaper up north despite virtually all other costs being equal.

Fish chips and a curry sauce is nearly £8 from Gabriel's on earlsdon high street. Usually get it on a Friday lunchtime after work and then I won't eat again until Saturday evening so think it's good value.

There's no fish and chip shops where I live. You have to order it in a restaurant, and then when you ask for vinegar, you get a funny look.
It's about double the price anyone has mentioned above.
I have it about once every 6 months, since I rarely eat in restaurants where it's on the menu.

When I left the UK in 2009, Petes Chippy in Nuneaton were selling 50p bags of chips, Actually there were 2 Petes, one on Croft Road, the other one recently (in 2009) opened in Chapel End and another rival in the Chapel End area also selling 50p bags of chips. Very small portions compared to normal but enough for one person and if memory serves correctly I think you could get fish & chips for about £1.20, again a grannies portion fish, a little bit bigger than a fish finger.

Think the last time I bought fish and chips they were two shillings and sixpence.

You should all be happy you don't live up here in Callander, most expensive and worst chips I have ever had, we paid just under £20 for fish and chips, battered sausage and chips and a king rib with no chips. We usually head over to Bridge of Allan, about 14 miles away, to get decent chips but then they aren't as good as any I have had in Rugby or Coventry. And don't get me started on deep frying the pies, just put it in a microwave ffs!! Whenever I come down to Rugby the first takeaway is always the chip shop.

I had a piece of haddock and a small chips last night which was £6.10 I think (lost a bit of focus when paying as it was a pretty lady serving me)

Jim's chippy in Attleborough (Nuneaton) does a mini-fish, chips and mushy peas tray meal for £3.90. The fish is anything but mini, it's huge.

I remember a portion of chips being a tanner (6d in old money or 2½p today!) And if you were really skint, you could ask for a bag of scratchings and get a load of bits of batter with maybe a full chip or two inside!

18.20 for a pizza, chips with curry sauce, fish and chips with peas, mixed kebab, salad and chips.

Not too bad. Dominoes would be that for a pizza

I kjnow it's not pizza really ;) but pitta bread with a tin of tomatoes and some cheddar, and topping of your choice grilled is a half decent quick and easy snack.
Or put the toppings between 2 tortillas, gently heat in a frying pan to make a quesadilla, mmmmm delicious

Mate of mine at work (before I retired), used to bring in a salami and thinly slice it and fry it. (We had a small kitchenette in our tea-break room). It used to smell lovely but I never tried it myself.

Naan bread and fresh sliced tomatoes are even better.

Petes in Bedworth still £1.99 for mini fish and chips - which is sufficient for 1
However if you want quality go for Jims
