A friend thinks that it’s a ripoff but it seems like a pretty good deal to me and I’m curious to know what it would cost in your area?

12 inch pizza with two toppings. Fish and chips for one(Two pieces of fish) A portion of chips, a portion of onion rings and a 2 litre bottle of Coke?

TIA

Is it large, medium or small chips, mini fish or full sized fish

I’d say about £36

£15 for pizza
£12 for fish and chips
£3 for extra chips
£3 onion rings
£3 for coke

More or less as this but I calculated £4 each for chips and onion rings so £38

And I’m not the one with a posting history consisting almost entirely of unnecessarily rude and abrasive comments so it seems that you’re having a harder time of life than I am. I’m also not your pal and I didn’t try to haggle with the takeaway.

Anyway I’ll leave you to it.

Wow, that was a lot of anger on a harmless thread about takeaway prices!

maybe they own a takeaway?

Bowies · 14/05/2026 22:34

I was going for £35 so seems amazing value but shows how much prices vary

Kickinthenostalgia · 14/05/2026 22:50

About £35-40 where I live

dh280125 · 14/05/2026 23:15

About £30?

Thanks all. There’s quite a variation. It’s amazing how much the price varies between areas. We’re not in an especially cheap area for takeaways here but not the most expensive either but I’ve only recently moved to this town so I don’t have that much experience to judge them by.

It was £24.

That’s really cheap.

Considering yesterday my partner bought two 12" meals at Subway for £25, that is a great bargain. I'd have guessed £30-£35. Your friend must have not bought takeaways much in the last few years.

Winniepoobear · 15/05/2026 14:09

Last night I ordered, 2 kebabs, 1 x 7inch peperoni pizza, 1 portion of chips and 1 can of diet sprite. Had delivery .. and it came to £40.26p ...
This was the kebabs, more meat on a starving sheep!
I wont be ordering again.
You had a bargain for £24

keffie12 · 15/05/2026 14:41

Be about £30 where I am! Essentially that's a meal for 2

GameOfJones · 15/05/2026 14:53

I was going to guess £40 too. It would definitely be nearly that in my area of the South East which is why I haven't had a takeaway in two years. It's genuinely not much cheaper than eating out!

In fact I've just had a look at how much a medium pepperoni pizza is from my bog standard local takeaway......£18.99!

Allonthesametrain · 15/05/2026 18:06

About £26

Debzyrobinson · 16/05/2026 15:55

Thats really good ,in my area your looking at £30.00 /£35.00.
