The meal — a portion of special “orange chips” and a mini-fillet — would usually cost £5.70.
Nicola Jones, 55, of Wednesfield, who was the first in line at 11.30am, said: “They were delicious.”
“I think it’s only us in the Midlands that do the orange chips. They have this unique coating on them.
“The only reason I came to Dr Vinegar is because my son has the shop next door. They’ve been trading for a few weeks. It was word of mouth for me.
“We arrived at about 11am, then about half 11 we stepped out a bit. Then the masses came. I was first one who came.
“A good 50 or 60 people came straight away, then they just kept coming. It was constant. I was quite pleased I was at the front. I’ll be a regular now.
“I thought they were excellent. For the price they were charging, they were superb. The chips were good, nice thick pieces of cod. It was all fresh.
“The standard was excellent. I wouldn’t expect anything else.
“It’s usually £2.20 for a cone. I think a fish and chip meal these days is usually around £6 or £7.”
And Matt Nichol, 29, of Willenhall, added: “I queued for an hour but it was well worth it.”
