    Are these current prices? Assuming this is from England the cost is USD $4.54.

    I can’t find chips, cheese, and gravy anywhere for that price.

      Depends where you live in the country - but this looks about right for where I live. The portions aren’t small, either.

      The battered fish tend to be quite expensive, but otherwise the fish & chip shop is literally “cheap as chips”.

      It’s a bit of an anomaly though - most other hot food places are more expensive, and you can even spend £2-3 on a small pre-packaged triangular sandwich from a supermarket.

        I’ve lived abroad for a few years now but where I lived beforehand, a £3 portion of chips could feed a family of four.
