The prices down here are crazy too. Though, Just Eat can sod off now, i know the restaurant has to up the prices on Just Eat, but still. If i want sausage and chips delivered, after charges and paying the extra prices, it's £12.99. If i drive down there (5 mins) it's £4.80

It’s not even Windsor it’s Bourne end but while I sat on a bench eating said rip off chips a mclaren drove past one way and a Ferrari the other.

It’s the fact it was for some thing so basic as chips.

It really does!
And amazing steaks and chops. We love our air fryer and use it for so many things - and it cuts cooking time almost in half as well. And it's healthier.

Agreed just eat are way too expensive , it cost me over £25 for 2 cod and small chips, would have been £18 to collect so i won't be using them again.

I’m well aware of price differences depending on location, I could of went to Tesco’s and got a coke for 75 pence

They weren’t even that nice, I don’t mind paying for quality and more for eating in but taking them away in chip paper for that price is taking the p1ss
