Just a thought, businesses have to provide facilities to heat food. Would it be feasible to offer a service like they have in India, where the customer drops-off a multi-section dish on the way into work along with the selection from the food menu and payment. The foods gets pepared, then delivered to the place of work where the customer can then heat and eat at their leasure.

Tiffins. I'd treat that idea with caution if you're primarily a chippy: I'm not sure fish and chips are at their best kept hot for half an hour or so. And you'd have to do a fair bit of investment in the tiffins which you'd then sell on, ready for refilling.

They either would or would not sell like hot cakes, and you'd want to be sure they would before making that investment.

My pub landlord tells me a 90p cup of tea gives him 87p profit, but a £1.20 portion of chips makes only 30p.

And I don't know ANYWHERE which sells a cup of tea for less than £1!
