Harry Ramsden's is offering the bargain deal at its Brighton branch, exclusive for takeaway orders.
The offer is part of its "grand re-opening" but customers will have to be quick.
The promotion also marks the launch of their new, "heritage-inspired" menu.
On July 19, at midday, the seafront shop will be serving its "world-famous" fish and chips at the throwback price of 7p.
This deal is takeaway only, with just one portion per person, and a total of 500 portions available.
According to the restaurant, 7p represents the original price for a portion of fish and chips when Harry Ramsden opened his first takeaway in Guiseley, West Yorkshire, in 1928.
In an Instagram post on July 14, Harry Ramsden's said: "We're bringing the golden age of fish and chips to Brighton.
"To celebrate our grand re-opening after a beautiful renovation, and the launch of our brand new, heritage-inspired menu, we're putting the clocks back to where it all began … 1928.
"Join us from midday this Saturday as we serve up our world famous fish and chips for just 7p a portion. Yes, really!
"We're bringing back the original beef dripping recipe that made Harry Ramsden a legend, at the original price."

The post also announced fun activities for those dining in, including a spin-to-win wheel with prizes such as free cocktails, half-price mains, and free desserts.
The popular chain took over the prominent Brighton premises near to the Palace Pier in 2000.
The restaurant closed for almost two weeks in May for renovations that included the installation of several new signs outside the building.
Permission for these external renovations was granted by Brighton and Hove City Council on June 30.
The new exterior is a slightly darker red than before, with white lines now running around the building above the windows.
The main three-storey part of the building is a remodelling of the original Victorian buildings on the site, with facades dating from between 1922 and the late 1930s.

Jailed traders mount bid to quash conviction after Supreme Court ruling
Four traders who were jailed for rate-rigging are to appeal their convictions after the Supreme Court quashed similar charges in a landmark case. Jay Merchant, Jonathan Mathew, Philippe Moryoussef and Christian Bittar are all seeking acquittal on appeal, lawyers for the four men said. It follows the Supreme Court's decision to overturn the convictions of Tom Hayes and Carlo Palombo, two former investment bank traders, on charges of rigging Libor and Euribor respectively. The pair were found to have not received a fair trial because of how the jury was directed. The convictions came after an investigation by the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) in the aftermath of the financial crisis into claims that traders were manipulating key interest rate benchmarks by submitting false information to the market. Overall, the case led to nine convictions for fraud, with two traders pleading guilty and the rest found guilty by juries. Merchant and Mathew were ex-Barclays traders found guilty of conspiracy to defraud in 2016 after a three-month trial at Southwark Crown Court. The judge ruled that the pair had conspired to manipulate the London interbank offered rate, known as Libor, which was once used to price more than £270tn of financial products globally. Mathew was given a four-year sentence, while Merchant was given a six and a half years. Merchant, who was born in India, renounced his British citizenship and was deported in 2018. Moryoussef, also an ex-Barclays trader, and Christian Bittar, who formerly worked for Deutsche Bank, were found guilty of conspiracy to defraud in relation to the euro interbank offered rate, known in the City as Euribor. Moryoussef was sentenced in 2018 to eight years in jail, with the judge saying: 'Greed was clearly his principal motivation. Although his income was more than generous by anyone's standards, he thought he deserved more.' Bittar was sentenced to five years and four months. On Thursday night, a lawyer representing the group said: 'Following the Supreme Court's landmark decision yesterday to quash the convictions of Tom Hayes and Carlo Palombo, all four of our clients now intend to appeal against their convictions.' Mr Hayes, who served five and a half years in prison for fraud, said after the Supreme Court ruling that all those jailed on similar charges to his should have their convictions overturned. The SFO, which was contacted for comment, said earlier this week: 'We have considered this judgment and the full circumstances carefully and determined it would not be in the public interest for us to seek a retrial.'

UK and India sign hard-fought free trade agreement
London and New Delhi signed a free trade agreement on Thursday after years of arduous negotiations on Indian textiles and British whisky, during prime minister Narendra Modi's visit to the UK. This agreement, concluded in May, is the 'most economically significant since the UK's exit from the European Union', said British prime minister Keir Starmer. He welcomed a 'historic day' for both countries at a press conference held at Chequers, Starmer's country residence northwest of London. India, the world's fifth-largest economy and most populous country, is a gigantic market of 1.4 billion people. 'We have unique historical, family and cultural ties, and we want to further strengthen our relationship to make it even more ambitious, modern and forward-looking,' Starmer insisted. Modi, for his part, welcomed the 'writing of a new chapter' between India and the UK, two 'natural partners', after 'many years of hard work' to achieve this. Negotiations began in 2022 during Boris Johnson's time in office. They were revived at the end of February when US President Donald Trump began to wave the threat of tariffs, some of which have since been implemented. The agreement with India will increase bilateral trade by 25.5 billion pounds. However, it will ultimately only add 4.8 billion pounds per year to Britain's GDP, estimated at 2.8 trillion pounds, according to official figures. In particular, London will reduce its own tariffs on clothing, footwear, engineering goods and food products produced in India. In return, it should allow for a reduction in tariffs on British goods exported to India from an average of 15 percent to three percent. This includes whisky, which will be taxed at 75 percent instead of 150 percent, then at 40 percent within ten years; parts used in aeronautics; and medical devices. The UK, which imports about a third more from India than it exports there, has retained strong economic and cultural ties with its former colony. 1.9 million people of Indian origin live in the country.(AFP) This article was translated to English using an AI tool.

How much Brits should actually have in their savings, according to their age
Sophie-May Williams Published July 23, 2025 2:25pm Link is copied Comments In May, Metro published an article that revealed the average amount of savings Brits had in their bank accounts. This was categorised by age, and based on a study by personal finance site, Finder. The results proved somewhat interesting: over half of Brits between 18 and 44 years have less than £1,000 in savings. Meanwhile, over the age of 44, the figure hovers around 35-40% (Picture: Getty Images) While not everyone can save chunks of money every month - for some, it may be on an ad hoc basis - it's still important to be financially responsible. You never know when you might need to shell out cash for a broken boiler or get four brand new tyres for your car. Saving is also crucial for your future, especially if you want to ensure a comfortable retirement (Picture: Getty Images) With this in mind, Metro spoke to Dr Nisha Prakash, Financial Management lecturer at the University of East London, to find out how much Brits should actually have in their savings, according to their age. This recommended benchmark should give you an idea of whether you're on the right track, or if you need to re-evaluate your financial habits. However, don't stretch yourself too thin trying to save huge amounts to catch up: saving in whatever capacity you can afford is still good practice (Picture: Getty Images) Before we start, Prakash explains that how much liquid savings (savings account, current account and liquid stocks/bonds) Brits should have depends on many factors (lifestyle, earnings, location, dependencies, etc.), of which age is one. She touches on the worrying £1,000 statistics from earlier, noting that, in addition to maintaining one's standard of living in retirement, consistent savings are required to build an emergency fund of typically three to six months' expenses. (This is a general baseline, and increases with age, as you'll find out) (Picture: Getty Images) 'As the UK economy slows down, Brits must maintain sufficient funds for unpredictable events, including job loss, reduced hours, or increased living expenses,' Prakash says. In terms of the three-to-six-month emergency fund, she explains that the 'golden rule' is to have enough to cover essential expenses for such periods. Meaning rent or mortgage, food, utilities, and insurance coverage. Having said that, Prakash adds that holding too much cash is also a problem due to inflation, as the purchasing power of money keeps going down. Keen to find out the recommended amount of savings you should have based on your age? Keep reading: (Picture: Getty Images) This age group should have between £1,000 to £3,000 in savings. Naturally, the higher end of this scale is directed more towards the older people in the category. Prakash says that this amount is a solid emergency fund that can help avoid debt at this time in a person's life (Picture: Getty Images) In this group - and the rest from now on - Prakash says that monthly expenses typically stay the same, and don't change much with age. She explains: 'Monthly expenses are between £2200 for rent and £2700 for mortgage, based on a family of four.' In terms of 25-40 year olds, three to six months saved is advised. 'This should cover rent/mortgage, insurance, bills, dependents and groceries in case of job loss,' the expert states. Rent: • Three months: £6,600• Four months: £8,800• Five months: £11,000• Six months: £13,200 Mortgage: • Three months: £8,100 • Four months: £10,800• Five months: £13,500 • Six months: £16,200 (Picture: Getty Images) During this time of life, a solid six months is expected for financial security. Unfortunately, Prakash says that increased responsibilities and the impact of financial shocks, such as job loss, will be greater. Anything less in your savings account could be detrimental in the event of an emergency. Rent: £13,200 Mortgage: £16,200 (Picture: Getty Images) For 51 to 60-year-olds, six months to a year is necessary. Prakash says that in addition to the above expenses, it is also important to be prepared for an early retirement or redundancy. Wages also start declining at this point, going from £42,796 between 40 to 49, to £36,036 from 60. From 50 to 59, it's £40,456. Rent: • Six months: £13,200• Seven months: £15,400• Eight months: £17,600• Nine months: £19,800• 10 months: £22,000• 11 months: £24,200• 12 months: £26,400 Mortgage: • Six months: £16,200• Seven months: £18,900• Eight months: £21,600• Nine months: £24,300• 10 months: £27,000• 11 months: £29,700 • 12 months: £32,400 (Picture: Getty Images) 12 months of expenses are recommended at age 60 and above. This allows for a smooth transition into retirement. Those still in the workforce will earn, on average, £36,036. However, 94.4% of people aged 75 to 84 years are retired, according to 2023 ONS data. It rises to 95.2% for those 85 and over. Rent: £26,400 Mortgage: £32,400 (Picture: Getty Images) As well as providing saving recommendations for each age group, Prakash has also shared five tips for liquid savings. These include:1. Set a clear goal after tracking your monthly expenses; aim to cover at least three to six months of expenses.2. Open a separate easy-access savings account separate from the current account. This avoids the temptation to spend.3. Save and then spend - rather than saving what remains after spending. Set a monthly standing order to transfer an amount from your current account to your savings account. Even £50-£100 monthly adds up over time.4. Treat the savings account as an emergency fund only - not for holidays, sales, etc. 5. Choose high-interest, easy-access savings account options provided by your bank. This will ensure your money grows, and avoids monetary trouble in the event of an emergency (Picture: Getty Images) Your free newsletter guide to the best London has on offer, from drinks deals to restaurant reviews.
