In Ilford, only the women are cheap

Ilford's nearest Waitrose is 6 miles away - which in London is a *long*
way

Not in a restaurant, but delivered, so likely deliveroo etc fees involved.

well para 1 says:

A dad from Yorkshire was left 'needing therapy' after forking out a whopping
£54 on four portions of fish and chips at a pricey London restaurant.

I appreciate that it later on says "to be delivered"

so, is that from the "pricey London restaurant" in para 1 or from the local
chippy?

been to the deliveroo website

and locally F&C is not an available search option

but if I go to the local shop then it says "deliveroo orders" click
here. Go Figure!

Delivery is free if you order more than 15 pounds of food

But you are right, the shop prices seem to have been hiked to allow for
the deliveroo percentage (30% I understand)

10 pound for F&C, plus 2.50 for mushy peas

I don't recall the walk in prices being that high last time I was there.

and paying 2.50 for Mushy peas is simply a laziness charge.* You can buy
a tin in the supermarket for 30p and they take seconds to microwave.


Beware, that risks the criticism that you just don't understand the way
poor people can't afford to tie up their money in tins of peas just in
case they decide to order fish and chips. I kid you not.

£2.50 near here (at least until early 2020 - I can't speak for the
current price list).

The triple-cooked chips, meticulously made over a two-day process, arrive at your table piping hot, golden, and shimmering with sea salt. Choose to pair yours with caviar and crème fraiche, lobster thermidor, or homemade Matson curry sauce and cheese in a nod to Kerridges local chip shop around the corner from where he grew up. Theres also deep-fried cockle popcorn reminiscent of the seaside favourite and perfect for dipping, and a vegan samosa created with friend and fellow chef Sat Bains.

The picture shows SIX chips.

At least that means there's plenty of room for pud, although I suspect that's not included in the £35.



TBH the fish looks like it has got less protein than a thalidomides arms.
