Why are portions gettin smaller from the chip shop

Don't forget with take-aways, as opposed to eating in, you aren't paying VAT @17.5% either.

Oh yes they are if the food is sold hot.

That all depends if it's freshly made, or kept warm and reheated.

I know this is strange but I cant even manage a full portion of fish and chips now. I get one of the small £2.20 portions of fish and chips from moorend chippy and I even struggle with that, I must only have a little, easily pleased, tum tum.

4.4 What about freshly cooked products?

If you sell freshly cooked products for consumption while they are still hot they are standard-rated, 4.5.
Some of these products are, however, bought to eat later, either cold or after re-heating. Examples include pies, pasties, sausage rolls and similar savoury products, cooked chickens or joints of meat, bread products and croissants. The liability will depend, therefore, on how you sell them.

I know it doesn't apply to fish and chips, but it does to some other types of take-aways.

In theory yes.

Just ask for suishi and guacamole.

£3 FOR A FISH SUPPER!!!!!!!! Christ I am paying £4:30 up here and the chip portions are small compared to some I have had in Accy and the same goes for the fish.
