    Well I guess at any point you could have asked them for a discount since you were buying a smaller portion, but since you didn't I think it's very nice of them to offer.

    Chip shop portions have always been huge in all chippys. I'd rather pay less for a smaller portion personally.

    Round here chips are £1.30 for a small scoop onto a small polystyrene tray. Can you buy us all some 50p chips and post them please!

    One of our local chippies do a normal sized fish and a smaller fish which are only £2. £1. less than the normal price, it goes down a storm with the customers as with chips the meal is still substantial. £1 and £1.40 for 2 or 3 scoops of chips.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    Praps chippies should start doin small, medium and large portions - maybe put goldfish on the menu for smaller appetites... problem solved - hang on queue in ours is bad enough without chip counting, bin that idea.


    There are chippies in Glasgow and Aberdeen that have small, medium and large portions.
    Like good food and drink?
    Try Hotel Chocolat and Baileys.

    They should do that at all branches whether you live in Scotland, England or Wales
