The Hawkshead Clothing company do a very limited range of cycling gear. I've bought walking shoes from here, but not cycling gear. But prices look reasonable.

At £20 these are great value

They've got a slightly odd pad - feels nice initially, but tends to ruck-up.
Mine are very comfortable for 40-50 miles, but the "rucking" creates friction spots that turn quite painful on 200-400km stints.
This hasn't happened with shorts from the "regular" brands. For my "every-day" rides I am happy paying just £20 :P

Sportpursuit often have good reductions on new old stock of more premium brands in a decent range of sizes (you have to sign up to browse). I recently got Sugoi waist shorts for around £40-50, RRP £110. Everything about them just feels like very good quality, from the thickness of the material, the pad, stitching etc. Actually better than similar RRP'd Assos.
They do charge £4.99 postage and no free returns, but if you pay with PayPal, you can register for return fee refunds

DHB would be my recommendation. I've since moved on to Castelli but still have my DHBs as a backup.
Its always a little awkward given advice with financial constraints etc
Regarding bib shorts I say to mates too split your budget more in favour of a premium bib short and try to save elsewhere
The reasoning is your bum will always be on that seat on a ride 100% of the ride and there is no escape or alternative
So basically buy a cheaper winter jacket as you dont always ride in winter ..buy a cheaper raincoat as again its not always raining..and never does rain in the pub where you can get some shelter etc
Just a case of financial prioritising and too me a good bib short should be at the top of the list

Another vote for the cheapo bib shorts from Planet X @ £20 a pair. Good up to about a three hour ride, in line with previous comments. If the budget will stretch to a proper pair then try Endura, DHB, Giordano or Bioracer. Our club kit has been Endura/Giordano/Bioracer over the years and I'm still wearing it, as well as the Planet X ones of course 😉
