UKs cheapest fish and chips – and customers say food is cooked to perfection

Who doesn't love fish and chips?

The British staple is incredible on any day of the week and it's often affordable too.

But there's a spot in the UK that is actually the cheapest, so have you been to it?

The chippy was hailed as being the seaside town's cheapest thanks to its incredibly low prices.

With the average cost standing at £11.05, you'll be shocked to know it's around £5.25 in a spot in Blackpool.

Tower Fisheries isn't just the cheapest in town, but also in the UK.

In a social media post, bosses at the Topping Street chippy claimed to be the cheapest in the UK.

A LancsLive reporter visited the spot in November and claimed the portion was massive.

They said: "I got a huge piece of fish and plenty of chips, which on first inspection seemed a bit soggy.

"But they turned out to be perfect."

And the whole meal tasted exactly the same as if it cost £10.

The reporter claimed: "The food was hot, cooked to perfection and you could practically taste the value for money."

Back in March, a list of the best fish and chip shops across the country was revealed.

But with 11,000 chippies across the UK to choose from, there's some pretty stiff competition as to which are the best.

Fry Magazine also unveiled its list of the best 50 and top 10 winners for 2023 after making secret visits to eateries.

Reece Head, who runs the annual contest, said profits for chippies might not be "like they have in years gone by", but "the passion certainly is".

He said: "The businesses that make up our 50 Best Fish & Chip Takeaways and 10 Best Fish & Chip Restaurants represent the best in the industry.

"They are pushing forwards while not losing sight of what makes the chippy so engrained in British culture – high quality, value for money food with great customer service and inviting surroundings."
