Chris has kept the price of his burger to £1 since he opened. However with the cost of living crisis no one these days can escape inflation. The MacMaster went along to Blackpool himself for the Famous £1 Burger and ended up paying £1.50. Has Chris Higgitt increased the price of his famous £1 Burger? Let's find out if the rumours are true.

    He’s right about card payments,banks charge small businesses for handling card transactions,most small businesses near me are only accepting cash,by Chris only accepting cash it allows him to keep his prices low which is then passed on to the public.

    This Chris Higgitt man will go down in history as a legend thanks to the UA-camrs and his great service!
    Edit: Weird to think it's only £1 for a soft bun, with a beef burger, onions and sauce, yet to add a slice of processed cheese the price increases by 50% to £1.50! 😂makes me wonder where the feck the beef comes from? (I have noticed less pigeons and seagulls in Blackpool over the years though!)

    A pack of cheese slices £1 or under for 10 slices. He getting £5 from 1 pack cheese. McDonald's cheese burgers £1.39 . So if you think about it he is putting the extra on his cheese burgers to keep his burger a £1
