Why are portions gettin smaller from the chip shop
and yet the prices just keep goin up?
i went to the church street shop for some fish and chips and when she put the chips on the paper i was like u gotta be kidding me it was tiny! and the fish wasnt big either - could've got a much more filling meal for £3 i know its not all shops hte one in ozzy does decent portions.

Re: Why are portions gettin smaller from the chip shop
Maybe the owner has watched "Super Size Me" and is expressing concern about the health of his customers ...

Re: Why are portions gettin smaller from the chip shop
Fish and chips for three quid! Another reminder of my advancing age ... I can remember fish, chips, and peas for 1/6! At the Pilot House: massive portions of cod and chips, or haddock and chips, with a pint of John Smiths, for about $10.

Re: Why are portions gettin smaller from the chip shop
Of course, the air fare to Canada etc. does tend to make it less of a bargain.

I think I may be tempted to carry some in my pocket if fish and chips were on the menu.

Re: Why are portions gettin smaller from the chip shop
Had lunch in the cafe there yesterday, and the portions were ample...even for me, and I have a good appetite.
Don't know about the take-away counter though.

Re: Why are portions gettin smaller from the chip shop
I've had small portions there before, at many chipies now they offer different size portions, we always get a large portion between three.
Many moons ago when we had a chippy (70's/80's) my mum used to give about 3 scoops per portion, now your lucky if you get a scoop.
