This iconic London restaurant is rolling prices back to 2015 – and it’s serving some of the best fish & chips in the city

Fish and chips at The mayfair chippy

January is famously rather rude to our bank accounts. The decorations come down, the credit card statement arrives, and suddenly even a latte starts to feel like a luxury purchase. But one London restaurant is doing the Lord’s work this winter… by taking its prices straight back to 2015.

For the entire month of January, one of our favourite restaurants in London, The Mayfair Chippy, is serving its iconic Mayfair Classic for just £13.50 – the exact same price it launched at nearly a decade ago. In 2026. In London. Frankly, it’s enough to make you emotional.

Serving up some of the best fish and chips in London, The Mayfair Chippy is serving up its iconic Mayfair Classic for just £13.50 this month – almost half its usual £26.50 price tag

Available exclusively at the fish-and-chip kings’ Knightsbridge outpost, this limited-time offer means diners can tuck into one of the capital’s most reliable comfort dishes for almost half its usual £26.50 price tag. Now that’s a January sale worth jumping on.

So what do you get for £13.50? The full, proper experience. Responsibly sourced haddock or hake, fried to golden perfection, chunky chips, mushy peas, tartare sauce, and your choice of curry sauce or HP. No cut corners, no scaled-back portions – and yes, we can confirm this is some of the best fish and chips in the city.

The timing isn’t accidental either. The throwback pricing forms part of the iconic London venue’s 10th anniversary celebrations, and lands just in time at a moment we could do with some perfectly cooked, premium comfort food.

And let’s be honest: £13.50 for fish and chips in Knightsbridge feels almost naughty. Book now, enjoy one of London’s best fish and chips, and feel entirely free to smugly recommend it in the group chat afterwards.

The offer runs from January 1 to 31 2026, and all you need to do is book a table and order the Mayfair Classic to unlock the throwback price. No vouchers, no gimmicks, just excellent fish at an excellent price. Blue Monday? Who is she?

January doesn’t have to be bland – or hard on your bank balance – as long as you know where to look. Luxury included.

First pour: Glen Moray adds Calvados twist to Speyside whisky and it’s a toffee apple treat

Glen Moray hopes to temp whisky fans with the latest addition to its Xperience Collection, Forbidden Fruit. This novel single malt is finished in casks that previously held Calvados, the historic apple brandy of Normandy. The whisky continues the Elgin distillery’s long-running interest in cask experimentation. Forbidden Fruit follows earlier Xperience bottlings Phoenix Rising, which…
