Furious diners slam celebrity chef Rick Stein over size of the fish at his Cornish chippy

CELEBRITY chef Rick Stein has been battered by diners over the size of the fish at his chippy.

He charges a minimum of £15.95 for a takeaway serving of haddock and chips.

Fish and chips fans have slammed the portion size and cost of the dish from Rick Stein's chippie in Cornwall
One TripAdvisor review is titled: ‘Cheap nasty minuscule fish and chips at sky-high West End prices'

It rises to £19.95 for diners in his cafe — plus another £2.25 for a pot of mayo on the side.

But scores of diners at Stein’s Fish & Chips in ­Padstow, Cornwall — known as Padstein after Rick — are reeling at the portion sizes.

One TripAdvisor review is titled: “Cheap nasty minuscule fish and chips at sky-high West End prices.”;

Another customer called it “bang average”; and added: “I still can’t get over being charged £2.25 for a tiny, tiny little pot of mayonnaise.”;

A third posted: “It wasn’t big enough for a kiddies’ meal. Absolute rip-off.”;

Food critic Gary Hanna said he was so appalled by Rick’s diner that he ended up sending his meal back.

When Flying Eze took a tape measure to the diner, our fish came up at 10ins — meaning we got an inch of fish for nearly £2.

And we found that Rick was charging nearly twice as much as local rivals.

In nearby Porthleven, 9in haddock and chips cost £12.30 (£1.36 per inch), and a 9in meal in Helston cost £12 (£1.33 per inch).

Meanwhile, at the Fish Box in Robin’s Hood Bay, near Whitby, a 14in serving cost £10.90. They told us: “We don’t scrimp up here.”;

A representative for Rick, 78, was asked to comment.
