How much do you pay for a bag of chips?
I remember paying 50p for a cone of chips or a quid for a decent bag. I heard recently about a woman who complained at a fish & chip shops who said 'The Fish & Chips were lovely but she left the restaurant a 2 
review because she felt it should have been cheaper'
Usually around £3 but i did go to a chippy recently that were charging £6 for a large bag of chips which is a bit ridiculous
Chips are expensive now! I think we pay about £4. A fish supper is about £10 anyway. This world has gone crazy x
SamGoodship it’s unreal isn’t it. I suppose when you think about it, rent, rates, cost of goods, wages, and then a wee bit of profit
I don't get anything from a chippy but my local take away there £4.50 for a large and to be honest they look small
I can get my own frozen chips for £1.29
I grabbed a Menu from work the other day as I was curious. £3.50 for large. £2.75 for small and a cone Is £2.50. Or £1.29 for a bag of Mari Piper Potatoes at the supermarket and you can make your own. I know which one I would choose.
I had fish and chips last night, cost about £20. Medium chips, jumbo battered sausage, 2 fish cakes, curry roll, curry sauce, potatoes frites. This was via Uber eats so may have been cheaper going there directly
. It was however shared between the wife and me, did not finish it and unfortunately not the best and a bit too greasy/oily 
Battered Mars Bar?? Take it you're in Scotland 
, was it nice,don't know anyone who has tried this....
janphoenix51 nope on the south coast of England, it was in my
Option better than a regular mars.bar (less sweet). Not sure if I would have it again or at least not from this place
2£ for a large chips if you are asking for fries they do a good chips people come from far have a small one from 1.50 prices have gone up though
£3 for a large bag of chippies from our local. It's more than enough to feed both of us especially if you have something with them.
Remember a poke ( cone ) for 20p and a pink pastie ( mashed potato, onions, spices in batter) chips for a quid. It's about a £4.50 just for chip and £1,60 for 1 sausage, with cod coming in at £7.10 and Haddock £7,15. If you want a burger then it's £5.45 for 1/4 steak burger with salad. Cheese, pineapple, onion rings are 20p and bacon 40p.
Anybargains ...Escuse me asking but are you Irish, a Poke is what they call ice cream cornet in Northern Ireland...
My partner's late Irish Mammy moved to Sheffield from Portadown when her children were little,my partner the youngest is 62 now,he tells everyone the joke about his Mammy asking the Ice Cream man for a Poke,saying it's no wonder he was round so often,we had to tell Mammy to stop saying Poke!! 
Our local chippy went up a while ago from £2.50 to £3 for a large portion of chips but now they have gone up to £4. The annoying thing is depending on who serves you completely alters how many you get. Sometimes a huge amount and sometimes not that many for a large portion. They do a standard fish and chip portion for £7.50 but you don't get many chips with it. Overall I'd rate them about 6 out of 10, not great and not terrible either. There are 3 other fish and chip shops within a mile in different directions and they are better I think but not by much. One is even less generous with portions though but the quality is better.
I never buy it at fish and chips shop. U can get cod and chips at any supermarket for a decent price. I remember fish and chips shops costs around £6-8 at my area.
I try not to eat chips too often & won't pay over the odds for them when I do..
SamGoodship ...Very rare I go to a Chip Shop,on on odd occasion lately, my partner & I have got a portion of thin crunchy Chips, 2 big pieces of Chicken & a dip for £4 from a Takeaway not far from us,decent amount & gorgeous too!
Prices have gone up alot lately used to be able to get a cone for 1.20 now it's nearer 3, just chips aren't too expensive but if you want a side it quickly adds up
We had fish & chips yesterday :- the regular chips are £1.80 (and we share those!) and the large is £2.40. Great value and the best fish and chips around 
£2.50 for a small portion and £3 for a large - the large is more than enough for 2 people 
My local chippy now charges £3.50 for a regular portion of chips. They cost £2.20 before the first lockdown.
I'm not sure, I know that the chip shop is usually a cheaper option for a takeaway.
To think the amount of chips that are made though and the amount of potatoes, the time it takes to grow them, keep pests from digging them up, keep the soil healthy, the time and people it takes to do all of that and cut them, the oil it is cooked in, the business bills of the farm, chip shops and transportation etc. I completely understand about the price rises for this.
They cost £4.50 at my chip shop thats a large but its not a big portion £2.50 for a small portion £9.50 for a fish supper that's what I normally get its ridiculous over £30 for a family of 3 as my son loves Pickles and he has got to have curry sauce
