It's a British classic and a typically more affordable Friday night treat than going out to dine at a fancy restaurant.

But one fish and chips in Kent has raised eyebrows with its eye-wateringly expensive version of the beloved dish.

At £65 for its 'special' cod and fries, Archie's Fish and Chips in Minster, Thanet, has surpassed Bentley's Oyster Bar and Grill in Mayfair - at £29 for the meal - and Gordon Ramsay's £24.50 version at Bread Street eateries.

But there's a welcome twist as Archie's monster portion of the quintessentially British dish is so large it could serve you for a week - or feed an entire household.

The 2.2kg battered fillet has become a viral sensation on social media platforms such as TikTok, with food lovers shown excitedly tucking into the beast.
