Researchers analysed thousands of menus for traditional fish and chip shops in over 50 locations across the UK.
Their data reveals where your money goes furthest for a portion of fish and chips.
Manchester tops the list as the most budget-friendly spot for a portion of fish and chips, averaging just £8.94.
Walsall (£9.17) and Dundee (£9.47) round out the top three, coming in second and third place, respectively.
Other affordable spots include Derby (£9.70), Bradford (£9.87) and Stoke-on-Trent (£9.88), all offering classic chippy fare for under a tenner.
Scotland's second city, Glasgow, makes the list at number 10 with an average price of £10.37.
Close behind Glasgow is Aberdeen (£10.67) and Edinburgh (£10.93).
Harrison Score, Head of WDW Bingo, said: "Fish and chips are more than just a meal – they're a national institution. Whether you're paying under a tenner in Manchester or splashing out in Exeter, it's a dish enjoyed by generations across the UK.
"At WDW Bingo, we know all about chasing the best odds – and when it comes to value for your fish supper, it pays to know where your chances are highest of bagging a low-cost meal.
"The data shows that the North dominates the top 10 cheap eat locations for this iconic dish. It's also interesting that no seaside towns make the cut for cheaper chippies."

It comes days after Scotland's best fish and chip shop was crowned in this year's annual takeaway awards.
Coming out top in the chippy category was Sea Salt and Sole in Aberdeen.
The takeaway, which has four locations in the city and surrounding area, commits to sourcing its haddock daily to provide customers with a fresh, delicious fish supper from sustainable suppliers.

Delays expected until November 2025 at all EU borders for UK travellers
Delays expected until November 2025 at all EU borders for UK travellers Manual checks will remain in place until the new system is rolled out later this year You will need to exit your vehicle to get the checks done (Image: Getty ) UK Nationals looking to plan their summer holidays in Europe should brace themselves for extended border checks until later on in the year. This is due to the postponed launch of the European Union's (EU) new Entry and Exit System (EES). Rather than enjoying smooth digital processing, British travellers will need to step out of their vehicles at the border for biometric checks. These checks will require fingerprinting and facial scans. Doug Bannister, the Chief Executive of the Port of Dover, has said that these biometric checks will be carried out manually until at least November 2025. The manual border checks will affect anyone entering the Schengen Area by car or bus. Many have eagerly awaited the EU's EES, which was set to enhance border control by substituting traditional passport stamping with a digital biometric approach. Unfortunately, the EU has delayed the launch of its verification application due to some development challenges. Bannister has said that the app will not be ready until at least November 2025. After that, the EES should be properly up and running. The biometric checks are part of the EU's long-anticipated border modernisation efforts. However, recent updates indicate that key elements of the process will not be prepared in time for the initial launch. The EU's Entry/Exit System won't go live until later this year, so expect delays Article continues below In an attempt to ease delays as much as possible, the Port of Dover has reclaimed 13 hectares of land to be used for passengers exiting their cars for inspections. The extra land should help manage traffic flow throughout the upcoming peak summer travel season. Until the EES is put in place, every UK traveller is required to complete the following checks at EU borders: During the initial trip, fingerprints and facial images will be taken. Passport numbers will be electronically connected to biometric information. For future trips, this data will be checked to allow entry. Manual stamping of passports will persist, which will increase processing times. Expect manual fingerprint and facial scans Even those who travel often will have to leave their vehicles for verification at each visit until the system is automated. To prevent delays and frustration during busy travel times, tourists from the UK should arrive at ports and borders well in advance, particularly at Dover. They should also be ready for long lines and be prepared to exit vehicles for inspections. Have all necessary documents on hand, including valid passports and required travel paperwork. If travelling in groups, make sure everyone understands the process to reduce confusion. Also, try to stay informed with updates from the Port of Dover or EU travel advisory websites. Article continues below Once you sign up, returning travellers will be matched up using their biometric info and passport number, which will let them automatically track how long they stay in the Schengen zone. But until the pre-registration app is ready, biometric data will be collected only at the border, which could slow things down, especially at busy land crossings.

Ryanair travel rules for Brits visiting Spain, Greece, France or Portugal
Ryanair states that there are "different rules for different destinations" when it comes to travel documents. That said, we've outlined the travel guidance for the most popular summer destinations. Each summer, thousands of Brits board Ryanair flights seeking sun and surf in nearby countries. While many travellers are determined as ever to enjoy a European holiday, there are a few travel rules that should be kept top of mind to ensure a smooth journey. Ryanair has outlined the travel dos and don'ts for holiday hotspots like France, Portugal, Spain, and Greece. Under the travel documents portion of its FAQs, Ryanair reminds passengers: 'There are different rules for different destinations, so please be sure to check these before you travel. 'To streamline your travel experience and maintain a record of the necessary visa documentation, we are introducing an optional feature to upload the required visa documentation during the check-in process via our app. This will demonstrate that you carried the correct documents at the time of departure, to avoid fines or criminal penalties for travelling without the required documents.' Spain Ryanair confirmed on its website that: 'depending on your nationality and flight destination, a visa may be required to travel.' That said, according to the UK government's latest guidance, those with a full British citizen passport from the UK can travel without a visa to the Schengen area, which includes Spain, for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. Greece When it comes to travel to Greece, Ryanair's statement about visas still applies - it depends on your nationality and flight destination. But given that Greece is also part of the Schengen area, those with a full British passport will also be able to travel without a visa for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. That said, even if you are visiting multiple countries, the UK government website advises that: 'your total stay in the Schengen area must be no more than 90 days in every 180 days. 'It does not matter how many countries you visit. The 180-day period keeps 'rolling',' the website confirms. Additionally, if you are considering adding on a trip to Cyprus on your Greece journey, remember that Cyprus is not in the Schengen area. That said, the UK government confirms that British passport holders can stay up to 90 days in a 180-day period in Cyprus without a visa. More importantly, any time you spend in the Schengen area does not affect the number of days you can spend in Cyprus. France France, also being part of the Schengen region, does not require British passport holders to travel with a visa for stays under 90 days. Though keep in mind that non-EU passport holders travelling to the Schengen area are obliged to ensure that their passport is valid for at least 3 months from the date of their departure from the Schengen member country, according to the UK government website. Though this requirement does not apply to holders of a Schengen issued residence permit or long-term visas. The 'date of issue' on your passport must also be less than 10 years before the date you arrive. These three-month and 10-year rules apply for all travel to the Schengen area. Portugal Those flying to Portugal this summer via Ryanair are reminded again that entry is permitted for a maximum stay of 90 days in a 180-day period without a visa. Portugal follows Schengen area rules. Your passport must have a 'date of issue' less than 10 years before the date you arrive and have an 'expiry date' at least 3 months after the day you plan to leave the Schengen area (the expiry date does not need to be within 10 years of the date of issue). How to work out if your stay is within the 90-day limit Check the date you plan to leave the Schengen area on your next trip. Count back 180 days from that date to get the start of the 180-day period. Add up the number of days you have already spent in the Schengen area in that 180-day period (you can use the dates stamped in your passport showing when you entered and left a country). Work out how many days you will spend in the Schengen area on your next trip. Add this number to the number of days you worked out in step 3. Check that the total number of days is not more than 90.

British child, 4, in holiday nightmare after being sucked into hotel pool vent
The youngster was stuck up to his elbow in a pool cleaning hole at a resort in the north of Majorca and needed firefighters to free him A four year old British boy was left frantically trying to free himself after his arm was sucked into the cleaning system of a hotel swimming pool in Majorca, Spain. Onlookers were reportedly horrified as the young holidaymaker suddenly became trapped after inserting his arm into the pool's suction hole, which was not covered. The vacuum effect from the hole ensnared him up to his elbow, prompting staff at the Hotel Zafiro in Can Picafort, a resort in the north of the island, to call emergency services. Paramedics were first on the scene but were unable to liberate the boy, leading firefighters to drain the pool and then use a pneumatic drill to access a pipe leading to the hole. The boy was given a helmet and ear protectors as they drilled down, but around 30 minutes later, they eventually cut it off at the source and freed the boy. Images from the scene show the boy in an orange cap waiting patiently as emergency workers strive to extricate him. Police and members of the Spanish Guardia Civil were also present, reports the Mirror. The boy was taken to a local clinic but fortunately did not sustain any serious injuries. Police later interrogated the hotel's lifeguards, and one confessed that he had already reported issues with the suction system to the resort's management team. A makeshift solution to the problem involved reinserting a screw to cover the hole, but this often became loose. Local reports indicate that an investigation into possible negligence by hotel management is currently in progress.
