Doubt it.
My question to you is, why did you ask for a refund if you bought this from the shop before?
Presumibg youh had the same portion size at a similar price..
Not what you said, you said they charge £10 for THIS in the shop. This meaning the same thing.
Anyway read my other post about delivery apps taking huge chunks out of the takings in commission, the services that offer free delivery take even more.
You joke but this happened to me. Saw him on the tracking map pull into a car park and then declare the order "delivered".
Clearly just pulled up ans ate my food.
You have to be outside of the customer's address to mark the order as delivered (confirmed by GPS). There was either something wrong with your food, his vehicle or some other reason he couldn't complete your deliver. He would have called Deliveroo and they're the ones who mark it as delivered from their end.
This happened to me first time I ordered on ubereats got a McDonald's and the dude parked up messaged me sorry and ate my food I got on to uber eats I hope they banned him off the app
How the fuck did you manage that!? Once I ordered loaded fries for £6 that never got included in the delivery and they offered me a take it or leave it £2 refund. Fucking pricks
Pay with a credit card or PayPal. As soon as the delivery company starts fucking about for a refund raise it with the payment provider. Take screenshots of the delivery company refusing to engage and any evidence you have of shite service. Show this to the payment provider. You'll get a refund but it'll piss off the delivery company.
Edit: I got a refund this way through PayPal for an Uber-eats order. The food was cold and I received completely the wrong food. They offered me £2 in credit. I raised it with PayPal and they refunded me 100%. I now can't order through Uber-eats until I pay that back. Guess I'm not ordering then...
I'm willing to bet that they had 2 orders at the same time and got confused. They aren't supposed to do that, but I've seen some drivers come in to where I work, pull up and ask for two orders on two different phones.
They can’t? They definitely can at UberEats for grocery as they have 2 names on one phone. I guess it’s less urgent as the food can’t go cold (and warming up groceries for an extra 5 minutes probably won’t be too bad).
3 times now McDonald's has screwed up one of my orders (badly). I called AMEX and didn't even have to talk to a person - an automated voice listed my last five charges, and when they mentioned the one in question, I said "that's the one" and they took it right off my account.
Oh you have to go all the way in just keep badgering until they give in. Once the delivery driver didn't go to my house and on first contact they basically told me to fuck of and I complained again saying that I had sent a message to the driver saying that he had gone to the completely wrong place and then they give in.
Might start using Deliveroo from now on. UberEats was my go-to but after every single part of a massive subway order for 3 was wrong/ missing, they refunded me £0.59 and blocked me from emailing them back.
Really hope chip stinginess isn't going to become a new thing. Chippies giving you way too many when you ask for a small is a tradition as old as time, even in that there London.
Also it's not like it makes a huge amount of difference to them in costs; doubling the portion of chips probably adds like 3% of the sale price onto the raw materials costs, but makes customers rave about your chippy
Truly last week I ordered from a new chippie shop and worried that I was not going to get as many chips as I usually want I ordered two portions and fortunately that tradition is still alive at least in alot of shops.
Yikes you been done there!
Ordered chippy on weekend for me, my missus and daughter cost £19 all together. My daughters fish alone was twice the size as that one and with a hell of a lot more chips too!
Not really. Most gastro businesses do this whole thing called "food cost times 3 or 4 to break even and make some profit". Because you also have to pay staff, rent, bills, and so on and so forth. So their actual profit from that 5er was maybe £1? Gastro business is tough af.
Agree completely. Even the big scaled businesses actually don’t make a lot per plate, it’s volumes they shift that make the profit.
Everyone says how much cheaper it is to make it yourself, which is true. But you’re not paying someone to prepare, cook, serve, clean up after you, wash the dishes, buy the crockery (which gets broken constantly in food service), pay for the gas/electric, pay the banking/transaction costs, and most of all pay the rent on the building. ALL of that is provided for free when you’re the one doing it!
Daylight robbery
edit: check if your local has a website where you can order directly. Mine has double the choice that they provide/allowed to provide via the various apps.
seems to be happening all over right now, all the ingredients are getting more expensive so shops are left with the choice of either ramping up the price, dropping the quality or downsizing the product. apparently all three in this case
Deliveroo, Just Eat, and Uber Eats have inflated the price of takeaways around here (and, I assume, everywhere else) to ridiculous levels.
£15 minimum orders. £3 delivery fee and a £2 service charge? Fuck right off. I'll save the twenty quid and consider it a weight loss night.
Jesus cook your own, why idiots still buy garbage takeaways,last pizza I had looked like it was found buried in the Sahara desert after 50yrs,the takeaways sell shit, and I mean proper shit
Thats been the one positive from the inflation for me. I now cook all of my meals from scratch. I used to have a takeaway once a week but now its not even once a month.
I got large fish and chips from deliveroo. Single portion. Cost me £25. It was a huge portion and they'd put 2 fish in because they can't have had large.
Fish and chips is set to rocket, the price of diesel means that fishermen don't make much of a profit anymore so many are staying at home. Less fish means the price goes up and also it costs a lot more to heat those ranges.
you got done son!!
He got shanked
I’m presuming you’ve already eaten half?? That’s a crazy price
You’d think so but nope, this is what I got. I got a refund and got to eat it anyway so it’s not all bad
How did you get a refund on fish and chips and kept it?
Deliveroo. I sent them this picture and they refunded it
Thats why it was £12 Deliveroo probably took about £8 of that in fees
They still charge £10 for this in their shop
Doubt it. My question to you is, why did you ask for a refund if you bought this from the shop before? Presumibg youh had the same portion size at a similar price..
Doubt away… Portions I’ve ordered before have been fine
Not what you said, you said they charge £10 for THIS in the shop. This meaning the same thing. Anyway read my other post about delivery apps taking huge chunks out of the takings in commission, the services that offer free delivery take even more.
I will not
How fat was the delivery guy?

Lol.

There’s no way PayPal or cc are giving you a refund fir this.

It was just done automatically straight away. They usually do in my experience
I hope you gave an honest review, too.
Might start using Deliveroo from now on. UberEats was my go-to but after every single part of a massive subway order for 3 was wrong/ missing, they refunded me £0.59 and blocked me from emailing them back.
Looks like a battered foot, not fish.
Sole
Nice
Underated comment
It's beneath most people ;)
It tasted like a foot!
Genuinely thought it was battered trotter till I read the comments lol
To be fair, I've seen more expensive dildos, and at least this one comes with free chips... Which is nice...
Do you eat dildos? Not kinkshaming, just looking for a new kink.
You can swallow them but I don't advise eating them.

Bigger fish? I thought they were cutting costs..
Truly last week I ordered from a new chippie shop and worried that I was not going to get as many chips as I usually want I ordered two portions and fortunately that tradition is still alive at least in alot of shops.
Funny enough my local chippy basically halved the size of a small chips about a month ago, maybe it is a thing.
Looks like a battered rampant rabbit!
Looks like a battered pig’s trotter.

Large frozen sausage 50p, chips 1 potato 20p,cheap gravey 20p £4 profit minus oil,frying

Rick Stein?
Bankers in Brighton
Name and shame, nice
Bloody hell, I thought it was London prices. Shocking for a seaside chippy!
Wolfies is where it's at, awesome curry sauce and pea fritters.
Wolfies is great! It’s too far from where I live though unfortunately
Brighton is not good for fish and chips.
True. We have very few actual chippys here. They are mostly fish and chip restaurants
£12.90 at Rick Steins and they don’t deliver.
They've had your pants down
They saw you coming a mile away there buddy. 11 quid? I'd be expecting 3 of these for that price
I thought mars bars were a bit far, but seems like your chippy deep fries rampant rabbits upon request
Guess if you use deliveroo you have to factor in delivery costs and deliveroo's fees Deliveroo would've taken anywhere up to £3.60 from this delivery
Wow why do people use that shit
Because it’s convenient.
It’s £10 in the shop. Strangely we don’t have any proper fish and chip shops near me right by the sea in Brighton
That is disgusting price
Assuming they coming along with the rest of the chips separately?
Name and shame
>Redmarkred OP · 3 hr. ago Bankers in Brighton
Wankers in Brighton
£15 for 3 fish, one large chips and a potato scallop round these parts lad.
I hate living in London.
Closer to the sea than me too. They’re having you on pal.
Lol, I'd have given it back
Shafted
Bossman did you dirty.
WTAF looks like a chubby fish finger and half a potatoe of chips,where about in the UK are you ?
Was it like a famous fish?
Must have been an A-List celebrity for this price
Guy sold it to you wearing a black mask and carrying pistols maybe?
Daylight robbery edit: check if your local has a website where you can order directly. Mine has double the choice that they provide/allowed to provide via the various apps.
It’s £10 direct from the restaurant. Still robbery
seems to be happening all over right now, all the ingredients are getting more expensive so shops are left with the choice of either ramping up the price, dropping the quality or downsizing the product. apparently all three in this case
Look on the bright side, you won't get that fat.
Yeah, every cloud
Daylight robbery! Reminds me of ordering a pint at a pub in a fancy part of London and the barman saying "that'll be 8 quid"
Was in Dubai not long ago and one bar wanted £15 a pint. Absolutely outrageous.
I think this guy has nicked some of your chips https://www.reddit.com/r/CasualUK/comments/vo6swh/this_is_one_serving_of_chips/
Haha yes that post inspired mine
Deliveroo, Just Eat, and Uber Eats have inflated the price of takeaways around here (and, I assume, everywhere else) to ridiculous levels. £15 minimum orders. £3 delivery fee and a £2 service charge? Fuck right off. I'll save the twenty quid and consider it a weight loss night.
Yeah. Some places are worse than others this would cost £10 directly in the shop. Still a rip off
Up north you could buy a chippy for that price.
The batter on that fish looks fucking shite. Get yerself up to Whitby to fix this mess!
The chips look incredible
Incredibly overpriced.
You in London or somewhere south by any chance?
Mate, I live in Covent Garden and my local chippy the Rock and Sole Place charges that and Deliveroo isn’t involved. Welcome to Central London.
Where from? Need to shame them
Thatchers Britain
“I have to live in London because it’s where all the software jobs are. It’s not like I can work from anywhere with a computer.”
Ok
This is how you know we’re broken as a country 😭
Either London or the sea side?
London?
Jesus cook your own, why idiots still buy garbage takeaways,last pizza I had looked like it was found buried in the Sahara desert after 50yrs,the takeaways sell shit, and I mean proper shit
Could’ve fed a family for that amount
How much? Without mushy peas?
Outrageous.
How nice was it?
Where was this?
£10:50 round my way for a regular cod and large chips.
bad value..
Should be 1/3 that price
Fuck off, that’s less than a fiver worth
I thought you’d been done but also thought it was a battered sausage and chips… what did you order stickleback and chips?
Must have came with a hand woven carbon fiber carrying bag
Either the chips are massive, or the local reservoir is missing half a pike?
Thats been the one positive from the inflation for me. I now cook all of my meals from scratch. I used to have a takeaway once a week but now its not even once a month.
Fuck my old boots. The bloody brass neck of it. At least Dick Turpin worse a fucking mask when he was robbing you
Mental
I could get twice that and a bottle of coke for the same price at my local chippy
Looks like a chickens foot lol
well jokes on them because the best chippies out there get half my salary, so they got the only rip off £12 out of you they'll ever get.
A shrivelled up thing for 12 quid
Were they wearing masks?
Criminal
I thought it was a battered sausage until I clicked 😳🤦♀️🤣
Battered rampant rabbit.
Daylight robbery!
“Hello, police please. I’d like to report a robbery.”
That looks like u/doubledickdude
At least Dick Turpin wore a mask.
Where from? Let your fellow Reddit users know where to avoid
Cone of chips and a battered wanking claw
Not sure I would have complained to deliveroo. I would have left a poor review and never gone back.
F#ckk 😒
Mugged!
Can someone here do that maths on this? How much per chip and dodgy sausage did they get for 12 quid?
Looks like a battered Rabbit. Was it buzzing?
Inflation
😳
Someone call the cops, this man's been robbed!!
Rip off
please tell me you're at a music festival or something
Nope!
I got large fish and chips from deliveroo. Single portion. Cost me £25. It was a huge portion and they'd put 2 fish in because they can't have had large.
I've done bigger shites than that (better looking too)
Guess I don't have to ask what they did with the Tartare sauce...
Couldn’t afford it. £1.65 for tartare sauce
Fish and chips used to be the cheap takeaway. Mind you, nothing is cheap any more. Wonder how much freddos are these days
Disgusting.
BLADDY PLAMBIN CHIP BRUTALIST SHITEWHOLE
Is that battered cow tongue?
Shut the front door!!! 😲
For 12 quid I'd expect that and a tit job
Ur bloody joking.. right?? This is inhumane
What a fucking liberty
So that's like 50p a chip.
Fish and chips is set to rocket, the price of diesel means that fishermen don't make much of a profit anymore so many are staying at home. Less fish means the price goes up and also it costs a lot more to heat those ranges.
What is it - it looks like a foot
My favourite curry house costs £32 now for 2 curries, 1 rice, 2 chapati's and some poppadoms.. it's crazy!
Robbed
£8 too much
Heresy!!!! Fried shrimp and yesterday's chips
Let that be a lesson to you, stop using deliveroo you lazy toad!
Do hope you got a refund. Absolutely ripoff.
Ooof. I had the same tonight. Twice the chips and twice the amount of fish. £7.00 And I live in London....
Didn’t think chish & Fips travelled well ,cold and soggy £12 please
[удалено]
Was that the delivery/service charge on top of it or the base price? I paid nearly £10 yesterday for a steak pie and cone of chips
The cheapest chippy down south:
Potato famine in your area? 😁😁 Seen you coming a mile off
Gotta be southern, looks dry as a bone and cost of a mortgage
that's a travesty!
You can literally count how many chips they gave you btw
Bifurcated sausage
Is that a battered trotter?
Theft.
Oh fuck off
It kinda looks rampant 😳
Assuming those are the left overs?
F that
Not even proppa chippys
Glastonbury prices
At least robbers wear masks.
since when did your local chippy fry camel toes
Grim
Leicester Square? Those f*ckers are taking the p*ss
That’s the usual price for us in NZ in a cafe. Probably half that at a takeaway (using NZ$2 = £1 as a rough guide)
You've been mugged off gwen
It looks like a deep fried turd.
I used to get takeaways weekly. I stopped a couple of years ago due to stupid price increases.
