Brand says a 'takeaway shouldn't be a luxury' as prices freeze for rest of 2026
A South Tyneside takeaway has promised it will freeze its prices for the remainder of the year.
Butty And A Brew on Albert Road to the eastern end of Jarrow has said it will keep its prices steady for at least the remainder of the calendar year.
In a statement posted to social media the site said: “We know everyone is feeling the pinch lately. It seems like the price of everything is going up but we’ve got some news for you: Not at Butty and a Brew.
“We’ve decided there will be NO price increases for the rest of the year. For us, a takeaway shouldn't be a "luxury" that leaves you feeling out of pocket.
“It should be a proper, high-quality meal that you can actually afford. We value our customers more than a few extra pence on a bap.”
A UK Government research briefing from January 2026 found UK food prices rose by a total of 38.6% between November 2020 and November 2025.
