You are probably right. A visitor from overseas on holiday would not be able to tell the difference between a cheap fillet of fried fish and a good quality fillet of fried fish. it's a rip-off, tourists are being scammed everywhere.

@@knightsorder You cannot tell until you eat it, defrosted, cod looses not only flavour , but moist. I have been( now retired) in catering all my life, and would be able to tell if the cod had previously bee frozen. But of course you pay for the location as well as for the meal, with matching rents and rates. He also hs to pay 20% VAT, which is not allowed to showed on the bill, so £31 . minus 5 pounds VAT= to £25. A man came in to my cafe some years ago I was charging £1.50 for a cup of tea, his comment was: I can buy a bag of tea for a penny, OK I said. go and buy one bag of tea, if you can, buy a table and chair, pay the landlord and council for permission, buy sugar , milk, cup and saucer, tea spoon, produce some boiling water a waitress to serve you the cup of tea, and somewhere to wash the cup, and pay 20% VAT for the privilege, he said nothing.

@TheGamesEmporium I know. Even my local charges £7 for a pint of Peroni. The government puts up the VAT on spirits every April so that gets passed on to the customer. Loads of local pubs have closed by me and 10-15 years ago, they would be packed. 2 are now Tesco Express’s and the others have been turned into flats. Even out in London back then you would only need about £30 and that would buy you drinks, something to eat and a train home. Central London isn’t the place it was now and I only go there if have to. Very sad.

Fair point on pricing, but, bear in mind that just the rent on that unit would be in the region of £250k a year. Then rates (Mayfair rates), ultimately you're asking for trouble expecting a sit-down meal & Fish & Chips at anything under £30 a head in Mayfair.

An Aussie tuning-in here. That sort of price would ruin it for me. Also the lack of space & excessive noise (which often goes with small crowded places), would relegate this place as an eat and leave only. And for that kind of serious money I would like to enjoy my time there. Maybe lots of places in London are like this? I wonder. I thought your review was fair and balanced, and for the video. However 'would I go back' is the golden question I ask. Sounds, listening to you, like the fish & chips was a real winner. Thanks for the pointer to your previous video Lucas' Fish Bar East London. I'm about to go through your list and see if I can spot it. Lately here in Oz I've been getting around to a few fish & chip shops. But nothing as rowdy as Mayfair Chippy, thank goodness.

I share your sound sense for money. The catchment of this "chippy" covers wealthy residents in Mayfair and adjacent West End as well as the City workers (after a quick pints after work) plus American tourists maybe, all presumably finding 31.44 for a fish tea not a thing to make a particular fuss about. In terms of taste, IMHO there can't be too big a difference between any chippies serving crisp fish & chips within one minute out of deep fryer. I fondly remember the days when fish & chips were wrapped by old newspaper somehow making it tastier.

Not even a tourist trap! You people have to remember this is in the most expensive area of the UK ! It’s not just some random place you go and have a lunch ! A tiny studio flat, basically a tiny room with a kitchen you could probably boil a kettle and make some toast and the smallest toilet and shower sold her for over £1,000,000 ! A parking spot sold for £2,000,000 ! You have properties worth 100’s of millions around it! One of the highest rents and rates in the uk ! What do people think? You will get the same prices as a joint in south london ? 😂 I personally wouldn’t go myself, only went there when company card was paying when working in that area ! But people who don’t know london have no clue what this area is ! Literally all around the chippy are houses of members or Arab ruling families who are worth billions, Russian, Europeans. The rich or the rich! It’s literally a different planet

I'm a tourist and will be visiting the Mayfair chippy and pay their outrageous prices simply because I want to eat really good fish&chips along with their tartar and curry sauces not forgetting the mushy peas. I don't have the opportunity to eat fish&chips whenever I feel like to yes, it will be expensive but hopefully most enjoyable! 😋😋😋

The same but with out the Tea at my local Chippy in Walthamstow is 23 quid and you get a role not sour dough bread, I reckon you're only paying a few quid extra for the location. Poppy's is just as expensive...The next local one it's 11 quid for just fish n chips takeaway but its not the best.

The bread looks the old days when they gave you a massive Yorkshire pudding for starter so you ate less meat. Shame they could not give you less bread and a few more chips. I hate that you always get a tiny portion of chips nowadays.

The fish served at our local chip shop boasts a thickness double that and extends an additional half in length. However, its preparation seemed questionable, not cooked, as it appeared to have consumed a significant portion of the chips. Speaking of which, the chips themselves were so devoid of moisture, one might mistake them for having been baked in an oven.
