Britons Looking To Cut Back Due To The Cost-of-living Crisis Are Now Having To Fork Out More For Their Favourite Snacks And Lunches Due To Soaring Prices At Popular High Street Chains MailOnline Can Reveal

Britons looking to cut back due to the cost-of-living crisis are now having to fork out more for their favourite snacks and lunches due to soaring prices at popular high street chains, MailOnline can reveal.

It was the first time the burger's price had been increased in more than 14 years.
Meanwhile, pub and casual dining chains are also steadily increasing their prices, research by MailOnline has found.
A Nandos half chicken and two sides has shot up from £11.20 to £13 in the last two years, while a classic La Reine from Pizza Express is now 75p more expensive than it was in 2020.
Even Wetherspoon, known for its cut-price drinks and dinners, is having to up their menu prices.

The chain's popular three plates for £10 deal is now as much as £12.50 in some locations, while its equally popular big breakfast is now 30p more expensive than it was last year.
It comes as all restaurants and grab and go spots face a double whammy of increasing costs.

Ingredients such as flour and cooking oils have all gone up in price as a knock on from Russia's invasion of Ukraine, while shops, cafes and restaurants are also feeling the pinch due to spiraling gas prices.

Britons are already cutting back as they brace for whopping energy bills this winter, coupled with inflated food prices at supermarkets.

And there are fears that inflation itself could hit 15 per cent in the UK this winter, if energy prices continue to rise.
Pubs are already turning out the lights as soaring energy bills hit the ailing hospitality sector - with last orders being made hours earlier, food being cut and skeleton teams running venues to avoid financial ruin.  
Celebrity chef Tom Kerridge revealed yesterday that the electricity bill at one of his pubs will soar from £60,000 to a staggering £420,000 a year as Britain's hospitality sector faces financial ruin this winter. 
Lunchtime favourites including a Greggs sausage roll, a Big Mac meal and a Pret Tuna and Cucumber baguette have all risen in price in recent months - with some items increasing by as much as 50p.

Prices may differ in some locations. McDonalds runs a franchise system, meaning franchisees set their own prices based on recommendations.

Filter coffee has increased twice in the last two years, first to £1.25 and then to £1.40 in shops, and £1.50 at stations
