Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted February 19, 2020 Moderators Posted February 19, 2020 I've started to ask for the fish and the chips to be packed separately and the texture of the batter is much nicer. Stays crispier all around by the time it gets home. I look forward to being judged on this action by everyone in this thread. Quote

Must be another North/South thing Quote
Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted February 19, 2020 Paid Members Posted February 19, 2020 These and this for tea. £2.20. Yup. Quote

This information feels like a spiritual awakening, chomping at the bit to get to the hippie and trying them wrapped seperate. Quote

I'm sure the fish was great, but the chips were always rubbish. It is probably because of the shite new potatoes that are grown there. Quote
patiirc Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 Back home before I had my op yesterday, I got rinsed for large chips. £3.60!!! Even Edinburgh in the tourist bits wasn't that bad. Anyone beat that price for chips... ? Quote
Rey_Piste Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 I can get cod and chips at my local chippy for £3.80. Quote
Retro Red Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 My local Chipper is £8.10 for a jumbo haddock supper, £7.20 for a cod supper. Wish I could say it's overpriced, but sadly that's quite normal around this way Quote

I can get that up North, however rural Gloucestershire was like nearly 6 quid for battered Sausage and Chips. Where is cheapest for fish and chips anyway Quote

Where is cheapest for fish and chips anyway I live in the South Devon coast, so most of the touristy chippies are at least 7 quid for a medium sized portion. Because I live away from the harbour or the pier/promenade area my local is much more reasonably priced. Quote

The portions are a decent size, but a medium is okay for a lunch, but you need a large one for a dinner. https://www.krispies.co.uk/menu-1 Quote
