Reply With QuoteAnother vote for Squires Seafood Restaurant in Braunton. Been a fan for many years. Was in North Devon a few weeks ago. Went 3 times in a week. It’s that good!Originally Posted by Franky Four Fingers
Local one is £7.90 regular or £10.60 large for cod and chips add £2.30 for the sausage. The portions are small and the quality not great.
Head a bit further and it’s £6.50 in the county town for regular cod and chips and £1.90 for a sausage, plenty of chips in a regular portion.

I tend to try and avoid chips and go for fish if it's of reasonable quality.
I can't quite remember the exact price but I'm fairly sure it's between £6 and £8 depending on the size - usually cod but sometimes haddock.
A local chippy to me does small fish and chips for £4.20 and it’s plenty big enough for one.
Not to the standard on the Yorkshire coast, but I’ve never found anywhere that is.
It’s delicious white flaky fish and the chips are great, nice and crispy and not at all greasy.
Local one is £3.50 for a fish then its a small/regular/large chips so from another £1 to £2.50 I think. was at a lovely one in Great Eccleston which did cod, haddock or hake. The hake was £5 plus the chips. Had 3 x fish and chips (1 x hake, small and regular cod) and it came to £17 I think. Got regular chips
Prices have been going up very slowly since i can remember back in the 1990`s, it is not a sudden thing in the last few months.
Not had fish n chips locally for at least a couple of years, so no idea what prices are like in Darlo now, but had a shock camping down south this summer, daughter wanted fish n chips for her birthday tea, best part of £40 for 2 adult and 2 kid portions from a place in Maidenhead
Where do you get yours from Rod? Used to get ours from Hurworth, but that had gone down hill a bit last time i went
Fit for a King! The chili vinegar is not an option.
I hope that you feel better soon.Fit for a King! The chili vinegar is not an option.

What even is that?
So clever my foot fell off.
Assuming you don't mean the pie(s) or the mash...it's parsley sauce, normally made from stock.
We'll have to give it a try, we use Rumbles in Sawbo or the one in Hatfield Heath
Does the one pie up, one pie down presentation signify anything?
And changing the subject, do they do discounts for masons?
Asking for a friend.
Indeed!Fit for a King! The chili vinegar is not an option.
Of course I like some stewed eels with that too.
Proper cockney scoff.

It's only about 7 quid here for large fish and small chips (mushy peas are our preference over curry sauce, although both work for me!)
As an aside, we recently started doing our fortnightly (not weekly, got to watch the waistline!) chippy tea again and as our new house is a 60 second walk from a really good Chinese chippy we've got the kids a bit more adventurous with trying new stuff. A few weeks ago my wife asked me to go and get crispy duck and pancakes as a starter for something she'd cooked. Half a duck - 20 notes!!! I'll be catching and plucking my own from now on.
Small cod - £3.50
Small cod and chips - £4.00
Large cod - £7.00
Large cod and chips - £8.00
Small/Large curry sauce £0.80/£1.00
Large cod is always cooked to order.
Back in the day i could smash a large cod and chips, now i cant manage a small cod and chips, always have some chips leftover, i am a regular and the guy loads my chips so probably thats why.
every now and again i do partake in a mixed donner burger with chilli and mayo. yum!
As a kid its used to cosy me 9p for chips and 9p for a fishcake ( the proper one that eddie will know ) ..........
Knew I shouldn’t have read this thread mid afternoon! Had to come and get fish and chips for tea. £7.75 for a haddock supper here in the North of Scotland.

Is the gondola restaurant and takeaway still on the go?

I went to the one at Hatfield Heath a while back. I can't remember enough to say how the two compare but I think they are of a similar quality Dali may be a smidge better.
I could murder pie ‘n’ mash. Not had double pie, mash and liquor for at least 3 years.Fit for a King! The chili vinegar is not an option.
Two places that were close to me. One half mile and second 1.5. Both gone. They only used halibut and prices got so high that sales slowed down and also due to age of the owners
2 fish, one chips was $17.00 Canadian. Going on about 10 - 12 years since they closed up
I started breading my own and then just decided to buy already done breaded fish and heat it up in the oven.
Not the same, but a box is good for around 4 meals

Currently in W Yorkshire. Last night from the Park Road fish shop in Bingley (excellent):-
2x fish & chips
I large curry sauce
1 large mushy peas
1 pickled egg
Price: £15.65
What is this liquor you speak off? Surely it can’t beat chip shop gravy?
Around £7.95 for a Cod supper in non-rural N.I.
Bleddy hell, I can remember when you couldn't even carry £10''s worth of fish and chips never mind eat them. 😀
Back in the 60s fish and chips x3 plus a fishcake for the dog cost 5 shillings, Ossett had 5 fish shops within 300 yards plus several others around the outskirts. Quality and quantity was variable to say the least but it was always a cheap meal. Prices started to rise sharply in the 70s , a consequence of joining the EU in ‘73 and the so- called ‘ cod war’ dispute relating to fishing rights in Icelandic waters.
As I’ve got older I find fish and chips harder to digest. Trying to drink beer after a plate of fish and chips is a no-no thesedays.
A good point
I never have a cold drink with fish and chips
Got to be a cup of tea to wash the grease down.

With pie n mash it has to be liquor.
Parsley sauce made with the juice / jelly from jellied eels. Yum.
Haddock, chips, mushy peas and with bread and butter for a butty was £14.10 in my local plaice (see what I did there) unsurprisingly they closed down…
The rough and ready local chippy is much better and about £10 for fish n chips

All this talk of fish & chips made me want some. At lunch time I tried a local one I haven’t used before that had good reviews.
Lunchtime special of fish, chips and mushy peas was £4.00. I thought it would be a small portion, but turned out it was enormous and I couldn’t finish it all. I’m currently lying on the sofa feeling quite sick.
Damn it I was going to have a Manzes and then I read what the Liquor is made of (eel juice) and I'm out. I suppose they have gravy or something else as another option?
I don’t think of it, lock it out of your mind….
Does it taste good? That’s all that matters
Yep fair enough. I had Richmond sausages for breakfast this am and I can't imagine the finest cuts of pork were packed into them!
Richmond sausages? that’s disgusting…
Richmond sausages? You're sacrificing too much to get that Tesla Ryan. Step too far.
yep, Broad Oak

Buckled last night after months on the wagon... two standard Haddock suppers £17.00 and a single white pudding £3.60.
Robbery!
I don’t think you need worry. Likely never been near a pig.
I’m more triggered by Richmond sausages than eel gravy.
They are the worst sausages I’ve ever consumed, no texture or flavour - do your taste buds a favour & buy from a good butcher.

Agree, even supermarket own brand 'extra special' or Black farmer are infinitely better than those pink tubes of gloop
Lorne sausage yum yum.
"Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. The third time it's enemy action."
'Populism, the last refuge of a Tory scoundrel'.
Also agree. Even the thought of them makes me feel queesy - and I'm not joking.
And yet, my 13 year old son loves them. They are his favourite sausages...
So clever my foot fell off.
+1 love it
Just realised we probably live in the same suburb…Hook on Ayr Road?
On the southside of Glasgow ,Catch in giffnock is £9.50 and Salt and vinegar in shawlands is £7.50 ,they are some of the better ones ,lots of terrible quality places about.

Large haddock chips and peas here about £9,
One of my favourite pubs, The Minerva, does a “chip shop basket” which is a small (more like medium)!haddock, proper home made chips, Pattie (with fish so possibly illegal in Hull) and a spam fritter, proper home made mushy peas and home made very thick tartare sauce. £10.75. It’s fantastic and a struggle to finish it all even for a supersized chap like me. With a couple of pints 🍺 of excellent real ale it’s a no brainier for me.
Been to Rumbles! My oldest mate lives in sawbo, not been down for a while though he usually escapes back up north

marchingontogether!
Yes bang on
Preferred it as Demarcos
I've done them a disservice as I just checked and it's £9.15 for a fish supper.

My local chipoy varies from £10 for a standard fish and chips up to £30 for lobster and chips.
It’s a mile from me
