<\/p>\nRick Stein has sparked diners\u2019 fury by upping the cost of condiments at his Cornwall fish and chip shop to a staggering \u00a32 each.<\/p>\n

The sky-high charge comes despite the fact that takeaway cod and chips there now costs \u00a314.90 and sea bass and chips \u00a316.90.<\/p>\n
It means that a traditional cod and chips with a side of mayo and mushy peas would set diners back an eye-watering \u00a318.40 – and if they ate in it would be even more.<\/p>\n
One visitor described it as a \u201cdisappointment\u201d to have to pay for extras, saying on TripAdvisor: \u201cHaving had excellent take away from here last year, we decided to treat some visiting friends to fish and chips in the restaurant – we were so disappointed.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn top of the \u00a316 for cod and chips, you were expected to pay an additional \u00a32 for condiments such as tartare sauce or mayo.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Another said: \u201cI was quite excited to be eating at Rick Stein\u2019s Fish & chip shop so wasn\u2019t surprised that it was going to be expensive fish and chips but as long as I perceive value I don\u2019t mind the cost.<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever \u00a335 for haddock & chips was fairly expensive. The cost isn\u2019t really the main course but in the extras and condiments.\u201d<\/p>\n
One added: \u201cWhen we paid the bill we discovered that the tiny pot of mushy peas was \u00a32 extra, as was the tartar sauce as was the curry sauce. Unfortunately I don\u2019t think we will be returning!\u201d<\/p>\n
And another fumed: \u201cLet down by\u2026.having to pay \u00a32 for the tiniest pot of mushy peas believable.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rick\u2019s fish and chip shop in Padstow is split into two with diners able to grab a takeaway or sit in and eat in a dining area.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The joint is so popular that long queues form almost every time it is open.<\/p>\n
For those taking away, gravy, tartare sauce, mayonnaise, aioli, mushy peas, goan curry sauce, mango chutney and raita – made of mint and yoghurt – are all \u00a31.75.<\/p>\n
But 25p is added if they choose to sit down.<\/p>\n
The sauces come in paper ramekins that measure about 1.5ins by 1.5ins.<\/p>\n
The 76-year-old chef\u2019s many businesses in Padstow have led to the area being renamed Padstein.<\/p>\n
He owns The Seafood Restaurant, St Petroc\u2019s Bistro, Rick Stein\u2019s Cafe, Stein\u2019s Fish & Chips, the Seafood Bar and Fishmongers and Ruby\u2019s Bar, all in the fishing port.<\/p>\n
