How feckin much? Chips and curry sauce and I'd have to say that portion looks rather small too.... £4.60. I get twice that amount for £3

Yep. Perfect, but overpriced.

Do they still do those pint jugs out of the freezer in the Canaries? I haven’t been for years but they were amazing on a hot day.

Yep 👍

Keeping this on topic, what’s the going rate for a cold pint in a pub?

6.20 in the pub nearest to me, complete rip off

The thing I have noticed over here, my father-in-law is a smoker, a pack of fags is about €5 

Shows you the amount of tax  on these in the UK

Glenn has had a big hit to his wages since he left Villa so he has to make it up somehow…

I dunno why it's called Whelan's as the bloke who owns it is called McCready. Yorkshire Irish bloke. He opened another one up the road opposite the main gate of a big airfield/factory, but sold it on, and then opened another one in Derbyshire. I guess it's a tricky time for chippies as the cost of everything like energy and fishes and stuff has gone up and people are less willing to pay more for their tea.

Large fish chips and gravy used to be £7.95 a couple of years ago. It's now £11.95.

The other prices seem okish but the price of those chips is ludicrous. How on earth is a chip barm more expensive than a regular portion of chips, its a bread roll with a few chips in it! Not a chance theres even half a portion in a barm

I miss northern chippies. Can't get a puddin' down this way.

Mind you they don't charge you 1.50 for a drizzle of curry sauce either

Been up north for donkey’s years now, but babbies ‘Ed’s  - still can’t be doing with ’em. Grotesque creations.
