Think I might start selling steak and chips

Many people still think fish is the “cheap option” and steak is the expensive luxury. The reality in 2026 is often the complete opposite. Premium cod loins in UK supermarkets are regularly selling for £30+ per kg with some reaching £35+ per kg. Meanwhile rump steak and so on can often be found for £12-£18 per kg. That’s right in many cases the fish on your plate costs more per kilo than the steak. So when you enjoy a freshly cooked portion of cod and chips you’re not eating a budget meal. You’re enjoying one of Britain’s favourite premium foods. Whether you’re team cod 🐟 or team steak 🥩 both have their place. Steak brings rich flavour and hearty satisfaction. Cod brings lean protein, delicate flavour and a tradition that’s been at the heart of British food for generations.

We just thought we’d share a little fact that surprises a lot of people:

Sometimes the fish costs more than the steak. 🤯

A huge thank you to everyone who supported us for National Fish & Chip Day yesterday. 🇬🇧🐟🍟

The response was absolutely fantastic and it was great to see so many familiar faces along with plenty of new customers through the door.
A special mention goes to our Hake & Chips offer which proved incredibly popular. We’ve been overwhelmed by the feedback with so many customers saying they wish they’d tried hake sooner! Because of the fantastic response I’m keeping the offer going today as well. If you missed out yesterday, there’s still time to see what all the fuss is about. Hake is a beautiful white fish with a delicate flavour, firm flakes, and it’s quickly becoming a firm favourite with many of our customers.

Thank you once again for supporting a local independent fish and chip shop. Your custom, loyalty, and kind words mean more than you know.

Have a fantastic weekend, and we hope to see you soon!
Much luv folks
Kenny the phat fryer❤️

TODAYS THE DAY FOLKS NATIONAL FISH AND CHIPS DAY, IF I DONT SEE YOU IN MINE MAKE SURE YOU VISIT SOMEONES AND SHOW YOUR SUPPORT FOR OUR GREAT BRITISH DISH 😍🤩😍

🐟 NATIONAL FISH & CHIP DAY WEEKEND SPECIAL. FREE CHIPS (saving you £2,95) WITH ALL HAKE OVER THIS WEEKEND 🐠

Friday 5th & Saturday 6th June at The Phat Fryer. Cod prices have gone so wild lately we briefly considered putting the fish behind security glass and selling it in tiny velvet bags. SO… allow us to introduce the smooth-talking hero quietly waiting on the sidelines

✨ HAKE ✨

Flaky, light, beautiful flavour. It’s like cod’s laid back cousin who doesn’t need to brag because everyone ends up liking him anyway.

This weekend only:

🔥 7–9oz Hake & Chips £6.50 🔥

That’s basically us saying
“Go on the chips are on me. Just try it once.”

Worst case?
You enjoy your tea.

Best case?
You become one of those people who suddenly starts telling strangers “Honestly hake’s underrated y’know.” And just like that, another citizen joins the Hake Side. 🐟🌊
