Chip shop owners in Nottinghamshire say they're up against it as prices continue to rise. Everything from the cost of packaging to peas and flour to fish has rocketed - and now a sunflower oil shortage is bumping up prices even more.
The family who run Oceans fish and chip shop in Carlton said costs have spiralled. Jack Jacovou, who has been in the industry for 54 years, said it's the worst prices he's ever known but they're trying to keep the takeaway affordable with a fish and chips special costing £4.40.
"We had to put prices up again on Sunday," said Mr Jacovou. "Before that it was £4.20. We normally put our prices up once a year - sometimes we don't even do that. We've put them up twice since November when the electricity bill doubled overnight.
