But its most updated menu for June 2025 shows the cost of the beloved British dish has risen to £11.95 across sites. The price of a single portion of chips at the cafe has also increased by 50p, now costing £2.50. And fans of its brekkie are forking out more too. M&S's All Day Big Breakfast, served with sausages, bacon, soft poached eggs, tomatoes, potato rosti, baked beans and toast, used to cost £9.50. But punters are now paying an extra 45p for the hefty morning meal. Elsewhere, toast with jam and butter now costs £3.75 up from £3.50 and a breakfast ciabatta's was £4.95 but now costs £5.25. The posh retailer has also shaken up what is served on menus, axing its nutty granola bowl priced at £4.25. This has been replaced with a Berry Bliss granola bowl that costs 70p more. An M&S spokesperson told The Sun: " We're committed to providing trusted value for our customers by mitigating and offsetting as much of the current food inflation as we can. Shoppers race to M&S as one of their best selling items which is a mum-essential viral are scanning for just 63 PENCE "We are working hard to ensure we offer a wide range of price points and options for our customers, never compromising on the M&S quality they expect." It is not uncommon for restaurants, cafés and grocery stores to raise prices due to increased operational costs, including hikes to National Insurance contributions and wages. M&S has previously faced ridicule for hiking the cost of popular items, such as Percy Pigs. Shoppers were outraged after it was discovered a 170g of the iconic sweet treat had been hiked by 10p, now costing £2. The bestselling sweets have undergone a 33% price hike since 2017 when a packet cost just £1.50. MORE PRICE RISES M&S is not the only retailer hiking costs for customers. Earlier this year, Morrisons also increased the cost of a number popular menu items in its cafés. The Full Breakfast was hiked by 25p to £7, while its sweet Stacked Pancakes have risen by £4.25 to £4.50. The price of a Ultimate Fish, Chips & Mushy Peas has increased by £7.75 to £8.50. Meanwhile, battered sausages, chips and mushy peas increased from £6 to £6.50. Greggs increased the price of a sausage roll to £1.30 nationally at the start of the year. The rise means that the Brit favourite jumped by more than a third since it cost £1 in 2022. At some travel locations, such as London Bridge, the price of a sausage roll has increased from £1.50 to £1.55. Elsewhere, Costa Coffee has hiked the price of a brew across its hospital concessions. An audit by our investigators found that a small latte or cappuccino costs £3.90 and a medium £4.10 at Medivest's Royal Victoria Infirmary's Costa Coffee outlet in Newcastle. That's a 10p increase on February 2025 prices and a 20p more compared with high street prices just yards down the road.
