Fish and chip shops on the brink of closure have faced startling price rises of more than 13%, new analysis shows - but business owners warn the picture is even bleaker.
Industry bosses fear the cost of living crisis could force 3,000 of the UK's estimated 10,500 chippies to close as Brits will no longer have the cash for the traditional treat.
Research by the Labour Party found that the price of flour and cereals have risen by 19.3% in the past year, while fish is up by 8% and oils and fats by 16.6%.
