You know the fish & chips were rubbish because the seagulls left you alone lol
lmao
I'm Irish and I have travelled to England several times, I think its a beautiful country, I was over there just a couple of weeks ago, I find it still has it's own identity while I find most other countries are becoming more americanised.
What I do find is that British people don't seem to appreciate (I'm talking in general) what is right on their door step .
Iv relatives and friends who live there and I always get the feeling they are dreaming of far off places and not appreciating how beautiful Britain is.
It honestly seems so stressful owning an electric car. My theory is that it gives the Earth extra years by taking years off electric car owners!
I am 64 and never had fish with no skin on. So where you go for fish and chips with no skin on the fish is unusual to me.
The pastie was dry because it was the oldest pastie in the world, the sign said so it's been hanging around for ever
Hi Lee (fellow Dumbrian (1971-Keswick) - living down south) - exactly the same conclusion with an EV! - locally great (EDF overnight cheap 4.5pkW), but anything else where I need to travel more than 100miles a day its a complete shambles (albeit certain operators are better than others, instavlot is a thumbs up). BW Jonathan
I think you should rename this series the search for fish and chips between John a Groats and Lands End in a EV.
Welcome to Cornwall the best county in the UK👍
If you ever come back to Penzance, please try the honey pot café. Best breakfast I've ever had in my life 😍
Another great instalment of your EV journey, looking forward to the next one, Thank You
I agree with you Lee. Leaving skin on fish is sacrilege.
You look absolutely knackered!! Great video Lee. How muccchhh for the hotel!!!
Hi Lee
Great trip - well done.
I worked as a courier for a period of time, often ending up in Cornwall. I ended up having pasties from various places. In essence they are a dry product and my understanding is that they usually do not include gravy. The secret is that you need a mayo or tomato 🍅 sauce dip.
In relation to charging, at least it should end the problem with motorists falling asleep at the wheel.There is plenty of time to sleep whilst charging 😴 😃👍
ide usually put some hendersons relish on and some brown sauce too, yes nice moistners there.
glad you're having fun on your road trip! This place deserves an award for giving you such an awardingly delicious meal!
Stunning room. Well worth the money.
Had this at Scarborough.
Lifeboat Fish and chips shop had a five star review, that's why I went there.
Absolutely crap.
Greasy fish was dry and tasted burnt.
I gave it 3 stars that was being generous.
Like you say people who give five stars honestly haven't tasted great fish and chips.
Another great Video fella.
It is good that you are bringing attention to the day to day challenges of owning an electric vehicle. The key problem, as you have pointed out many times, lies with charging but they are developing lithium air batteries now which will potentially give 1000 + miles per charge that is a game changer but it will take some time before they are available in mass production. I think you should sell your Taycan and get a massive S class Benz 🙂 on the food Pasty 3/10 and FnC 5/10
EVs and celebrity chef fish and chips.. Two things I can certainly live without!
Proper baby , throwing the toys out every time he gets skin on fish
LOL!!! Getting people commenting though isn't it. ;)
Hi Lee. Another great vlog....but geez that pastie and those fish and chips looked super dry as if they'd been sitting keeping hot for a long time.
.and the mushy peas....wow...looked like a pot of clay!!! Dissapointing for you after such a long day. Looking forward to the next one!! Many thanks!
What a shame about the Pasty, not going to lie as a cornishman, that's disappointing. But A a good pasty is worth its weight in salt. Those sort of stalls are never the best. Next time in Cornwall, theres a few places to try one from.
Malcom Barnicuts,
Gear Farm
Philps
Three of my favs. These pasties, will have has much more succulent meat and veg, and isnt dry. Hopefully you get to return and try a proper pasty.
For the best fish and chips in cornwall, visit somewhere like St Ives or Looe. My personal favourite is The Catch in Looe. The shop is on the end of the fish market... so the fish travels a few yards from market to fryer. It's the best and most fresh fish youll find.
Also, hope you are recovering well Lee. Take care.
I've found Philps pasties good & Harbour Lights in Falmouth do pretty good Fish & chips.
Good video always enjoy you content, as for your EV I drove from Northamptonshire to lands end last month in my Hyundai kona EV with no problems at all. It was easy to get a charger even had one right at Lands End no problems. Keep up the great videos 👍
EV is the future, but not until we can fully charge (or to 80%) our vehicles in five minutes. We’ll get there, but not in the timescale that we are incentivised to do so.
England is great ,great blog mm
That hotel 260 quid your having a tin bath mate
Please can we have many more vlogs from Devon and Cornwall, so much to see in those counties and the best of the UK
Blimey mate - £260+ for 1 night, I see the Pirates of Penzance are still in business ! Rip off prices, no water in the hotel, poor quality food - I can''t think why people go abroad on holiday can you ?
Having said that mate I love the UK & we have so much to offer especially when the sun shines & you do a great job in promoting it - like you & many more, I like to mix it up with UK & overseas travel - long may it continue.
Lewis's Fish AND Chips that is only 2 minutes down the Rd from there in Newlyn, is far better than that rubbish. Fish is always fresh and they serve what is caught that day. Never had the curry or peas there but the Fish and Chips are outstanding. Only down point are the staff are sometimes rude which is typical of the Cornish but there is always a queue and people still still go back just for the food.
Cod & Medium Chips was £10 and I think the curry sauce, mushy peas were £1 ea, back in 2022 when I was there.
skin on fish keeps moisture in - hat the traditional way of doing it
Love Cornwall me been countless times great video
Fantastic looking hotel room !!! Being Cornish I’ve got to say it, love the video !!! I’ve been saying for couple years Lee “you must visit Cornwall (Kernow) “ glad you made it !! 😎👍
Dear Lee, I don't like fish so much😬But...you show it in an nice way! My question: Are you going to shoot videos again in the Canary Islands (I am probably the first one with that question😁) or other warm places that are not too far away like America for example? I really hope so! Of course, there are currently many vloggers on the road...especially on Tenerife. But no one can do it as well as you. I wish the old vlogs were back...walking the seafront looking for a 1 euro pint with funny comments and tips. It's not the same when others film them walking around saying nothing (with, in some cases, inappropriate music) or driving around in their cars. Show us restaurants or (I wish) different hotels and excursions, maybe with your friends too! This has always helped me through the winter and when choosing my next travel destination...and amused too. Of course, not everyone has the same tastes and different interests, but I would love to see more holiday destinations in Europe. Warm greetings from Germany...and onwards!
How I doing mate Hi it’s. Caz & Baz from cleveleys when u get a chance u need to visit fleetwood fisheries it’s the best I the area great food and always hot good peas and spicy curry yum been watching your trip to lands end great to watch we Have a electric car ha ha ha.Your just like my husband i was laughing hates it when folk chsrge and wonder off knowing there’s a Que whaitng plugg there’s in we need more chargers mate. Keep that thought the food is fantastic the fishery in fleetwood. Keep videos coming
Caz & Baz from cleveleys 😄
Hi there again yes we watch all your clips etc love them. U r sooooo funny cheer us up on a down day Baz loves your car stunning. 😃😃😃our e Peugeot 208 goes/ around 224 on full range we love it but agree mate not enough charges as yet. True they are cheap to run I love it much better than fuel cars just chargers r short
The Porsche centre in Tewksbury is only 34 minuites from Stroud.
The bathroom door could have done with a paint job in that B&B lol 🤣
That's it! I've finally come to the conclusion that whatever day of the week it is and, whatever the time of day it is... Lee is ready for some fish & chips. In fact, I bet he's eating some right now!
I hate it when they take the skin off. It overloads the fish with fat in some cases, its easier to give any white fish without you knowing and I don't think it tastes as good. I was suprised the skin was still on as I live on the boarder of Devon and Cornwall and many places take the skin off. I come from the North and when I was growing up all the fish had skin on and I'd never seen it without until I moved here twenty years ago. In general I find they can do many things well in the South West but I still prefer Fish and Chips from the North. There are exceptions, I had some fish and chips at Lostwithiel once and they were great, I then discoverd the fryer was from Sheffield!
14 pund for that fish n chips...no deal
Next time your near Stroud there is a Porsche showroom/garage outside Tewksbury 👍🏼
You should try Sharky's or The Balancing Eel if you are going to St.Ives while you're in Cornwall. Both do lovely Fish & Chips.
Award !!! what for the most minging fish supper in the UK
no skin on our fish in South Shields Sunday afternoon, just right.
filled my diesel from near empty to full including payment at the pump today in under 10 mins - interestingly the Tesco I was at had 6 charge points all empty - I went over to have a look and a guy passing by said " they are offline mate - they are offline more often than they are on"
A pasty from a service station !!?? Got what you deserved there Lee - only buy from a quality bakers shop then you get a different experience all together
Yes,says it all about chargers and the EV situation in general.....St Ives has several good places for a Cornish pasty.
That pasty!🥟😆 - As peter Kay once said...............Asta nowt Moist😁. As for the fish & chips, the minute i see skin, it's an immediate no no. 3/10 for this one Lee.👍
On holiday last week I went to an eat in chippy and they had Irish curry sauce on the menu. I tried it…..it was absolutely superb, In fact the best curry sauce I’ve ever had in a chip shop.
The fish looked like a oven bake from the supermarket. The peas looked as dry as a bone. The curry sauce was definitely crossed with gravy and I agree with you, the chips looked the best part of that supper. I think you were very generous giving it a 6 Lee. I would of went 5 tops mate. Phew. You live and learn my friend. Cheers 👍
Hotel looked lovely, bit pricey but lovely. Fish & chips, looked okay peas looked solid. 7 on looks overall.
Skin on = Haddock, No Skin = Cod, that was always the way - Who know's now🤣
Ahh, need to know this one cus we're going Penzance. Always like good places to eat 🙂👍🏻
Just for fun … google pastys in the upper peninsula of Michigan. Cornish tin miners came to the UP in the mid 1800’s and taught the Fins and Italians to make pastys. Also how to be miners in the copper and iron mines 😂. When I lived there a few restaurants and bakeries made good ones but the best come from someone’s home kitchen.
Love the videos Lee. But still doing fish and chips burgers and full English breakfast. Love to see you try other types of food.
Thanks Brian. On the next journey I'll mix it up. This hasn't really been about the food though. I've just thrown that in. It's more about the journey. :0)
Phat pasties are lovely buy online and started selling them at Bristol Rovers ground so had 2 on Saturday on Oxford United away day such nice pasties 👍🏼
Gracias a dios!!!,por fin un video de RUclips de un inglés haciendo una critica de "fish & chips",llevo años esperando este momento!!!.
¿Que será lo próximo,"english breakfast","sunday roast"?.
El mundo se acaba.
I thought it would be a nice room when you mentioned the price. Love Cornwall.
I am a baker . in my opinion like any hot meal Pies and Pasties should be baked fresh or as near as possible, re heating dries them out
Appreciate you making the trip to Cornwall 🌞, Warrens in Devon didn’t really set the bar for a Pasty, I hope you found a better one, Safe Travels 🎉🍻
The room was super cool.
Lee go back to Pitlochry get a real fish supper
Wow love the Rustic look of the hotel room, love the Bath and shower plus the sliding door, ya doing great at with the video's very good very nice 😂😂❤️👌
Hiya Lee...the room looked fabulous!..dont think I would have used that bath tho....metal bath....for the fish n chips ..if anyone wants to kno where to get a good fish n chips see the fish n chip guru..THE MACMASTER!!!! there ya go...:)
All the best fish and chips I’ve had have never been at seasides
I agree, the chips were the best part of this. I’ve never seen a chippy curry sauce as dark as that lol. Not enough fish in that haddock. I love the crunchy batter and the skin but a lot of fish shops these days they slice the fish in half, as you’ve said a number of times before. A con really as you’re not getting what you pay for, especially at £14. As for that pasty, thy is not a proper Cornish pasty. Couldn’t believe it was 6 quid. You could probably get a Ginsters from a supermarket for under £2 and would probably be nicer🤣😂. 6/10 for the fish and chips and 1/10 for the pasty. Loved your vids tonight buddy as always and will catch up up on some more tomorrow 👍
Have travelled down the A30 to Marazion on numerous occasions - one of our favourite Cornish places - and regularly walked to Penzance so recognised it all, must go back soon. As you say, so many good places to visit in the UK, who needs to go abroad..? Looking forward to your final episode Lee.
I thought I recognised the name of the Artist Residence as it was featured in the channel 4 programme Four in a Bed back in 2013.
I also thought that the chippy had made a mistake on your order and given you gravy instead of your curry sauce.
A 5.3 from me on your meal, skin on the fish is a big no from me.
...and on 5's The Hotel Inspector
Fantastic room, Lee. - I'm no football fan, but did notice the Leeds United scalf adorning the foot of the bed.
Hello Mr. Mac. OK. Let me clarify this for you once and for all. I owned a chippy for years; the reason you leave the skin on the fish is, it shrinks considerably if you skin it. Simple as that.
I hope that demystifies this ongoing mystery for you 😎 once and for all.
what a room,Lee!!!! just wow
I remember the Artists' Residence from The Hotel Inspector. They're supposed to be amazing.
hi lee NEW to your channel, lovin it,belly laugh with martin i think with the curry, ev stuff very interesting... my mate lives in penzance and had fish n chips from fraser's chippy and he had loads of black chips like a slug had dropped in the chips his words, he wouldnt usually complain but chippy meal for family is expensive now so he did complain and got a £20 food voucher so he was ok with that but said not one of the best in the uk there are better fish n chips in penzance but there you go keep them vlogs cmin see you soon my friend.
I think the main problem with EVs at the moment is that there is no public charging infrastructure. They need to remove all the slow chargers (These are pointless) and put in only fast chargers and in more locations. When we have as many fast charging stations as petrol stations things will be better. Enjoying all your videos by the way.
Love a good pasties 😋had a good one at lizard point Cornwell 🦎 the best I've had👌 brought some back for family 🚚🤣🤣looking forward to this one Lee only been back from Lands end two weeks now had a brilliant time we tour around Cornwall ❤👍😊x
Another nice video, I enjoyed. First of all the pasty at the charging station was bloody awful, I immediately said it looked very dry, then you said it also, a Ginsters pasty is Michelin starred in comparison to that. I loved the hotel room, it looked very cosy. I don't know how that chip shop in Penzance got an award for its fish and chips. To me they didn't look good at all, the peas looked really poorly. I don't like curry but I've never seen curry that colour in my life, and the fish looked too heavily battered to me, crispy it may have been, but was it light ... it didn't look it, and skin on the fush, The chips looked average to me, I've seen much better many times. I gave the Stroud place a 6/10 yesterday, but this effort today only gets a 4 and that's being generous.
P.s. So no video of the section of the trip between Tebay and Stroud then. Ok, unless I've missed something. Hey ho.
As a Cornishman I would NEVER buy a pasty from a motorway services.
Just brilliant reviews 😊honestly it makes you feel like you’re there with you. Fabulous channel.
"Ensure that the temperature of the vehicle is between approx. -20 °C and +30 °C during the charging process"
"If required, a battery charge of 100% can be programmed before starting long journeys."

Shame this is some time ago, otherwise, I'd warn you not to have an ice cream walking along the front in St Ives...Artist's Residence was on 'Four in a Bed' in 2013, and not cheap... Laserdiscs were very popular in Taiwan in the 90s -- and most people had a kip at their desks for lunch, they even downed the lights in the office! Three mobile in Cornwall...never had much luck, either.
Lee Morgan’s cafe is off J27 M5 then head towards wellington it’s on the left on of the hill mate
That batter looked wrank, bin best place for em.
7 out the last 10 videos Fish and Chips or full English, it’s like Groundhog Day 😂
Lol. 😂 I keep saying. It's not really about the food. It's the journey and adventure. 😉👍🏼👍🏼
This is true but you’ve named all the videos fish and chips or breakfast 😆
LOL That's because If I named them Electric Car Journey to Lands End they wouldn't get the views. I know what I am doing. It's all about the algorithms. :0)
Look at which videos get the most views. ;)
Lol leave the poor bloke alone he keeping us entertained.With his fish and chips peas and curry sauce.😝
Got my little journey Wednesday from Newcastle to Cornwall
Safe Journey
Penzance looks incredible and we're going in a few weeks 👍🏻I'm not getting your reaction to that room Lee, sorry. It's not that good and the view is building rooftops.🤣When you consider the price it's not a great deal. It ain't 'all that'. 😉 Very disappointed with that so-called 'best fish & chips' though for ya. I would have marked it lower than 6 too. Thx for sharing pal 😀
Fish and chips a 5 for me Lee fantastic summer we are having
haddock is a small fish so if take skin off theres not much left the cod would of been skin off
Title. Watch the seagulls.🐦🐧
Maclee another fun video. The hotel room lovely. Why won't you have time for a relaxing bath. With all those bath products. Fish and chips🐟.from your comments. I also mark 6 out of 10. Also your windscreen all you need is a bottle of water and throw on the mess. Finally, brave man eating fish and chips outside near the sea. I was worried the seagulls were going to attack you and fly of with the box.
Have a good rest.🍺👍
Chips look woeful.
I just found the best Lancashire fish and chips in the world here in Thailand they are amazing home made chips and Norwegian Cod absolutely beautiful
Where at in Thailand
@@keith4518 pattaya
@@stupot1952 thanks ill check it out when down there
Had fish chips in Weymouth Marlboro restaurant best I have had I'm with you no skin
Weymouth does have some decent chippies, Marlboro is good, but I think Bennett's just about top them. My Mum swears by Fish and Fritz, but I'm yet to try them myself.
Can you make it to Lands End from Penzance in one EV trip lol. Just seems so stressful worrying about where you need to charge up all the time. Another awesome video mate.
Watching an expensive electic car or Porsche being driven so slow on a motorway that the Nissan Micra is in another league........priceless.
Solid 10 from me, off the charts malcom.
The Hotel's Thunder-box's throne lid need's to be a bit rustic looking it's out of place looking so glossy keep up the good work and cheers from down under. 👍👍
Hi Lee. I've stayed at the same Premier Inn and they do good food . If you go again put your car on charge at tesco. Its just round the corner and there isn't a time limit . Great road trip and I feel the pain, as own a corsa e with only 180 mile range
I'm just a year older than you so been in my fair share of chippy's over the years, sadly still never been as of yet BUT so many people have said you get the best fish & chips in Whitby.
You've got a lot more hair than me btw.
Thanks again fella.
Hi Lee love the room but the fish and chips no I agree with you didn’t look good at all 5.
I can't wait till this vlog is finished and you can tell us how long it actually took you to get down there
He was only 21 when he started 😳.
Highlanes in Hayle for fish and chips. Philps in Hayle for pasties but the small shop/ bakery near the duck pond make the best ones in my opinion. Never beeen dissapointed with a pasty bought from there.
Bet your glad to be back down south in the nice hot weather. When you spend time up the very north you do realise the weather is hard to get used to if your not from there.
I was expecting a better score Lee but your right i would say 6-7 ...That room your staying in looked amazing all the reclaimed timber and massive bath ..One of my telephones would have looked good in there lol ....Now on to the car one thing is it looks awesome and if the car will charge in 15 mins. can you blame the car or the charging points ?...You looked warmer in it then that pastie when the sun was out lol ....I think Devonshire pasties have the crust to the side and Cornish ones have the crust to the top i think lol
If you were looking for a Porsche dealer there was one just off the M5 in Bristol. One and only time I’ve been in Bristol there were loads of car dealerships close to the M5. There’s also a Porsche dealership in Exeter.
Couldn't agree more on the fish and chips. I have been going there for 20 years since I was a kid and it was called something else. They were never great but since it had become Fraisers it's consistently just as you've reviewed. I am assuming the tourists are voting on the pleasant views not the food! :) Keep up the good work.
I have to say, Lee, I have thoroughly enjoyed watching you journey with your 'milk float'. Usually, I watch these on my mobile propping up a bar in Tazacorte, La Palma (La Isla Bonita) in the Canaries where I now live.
Three comments:
Going to Cornwall and buy a Cornish Pasty in Devon! - Asking for trouble. When they said it was the oldest pasty maker, but the look of it you had one of the first ones they produced!
I see from the news a Chinese company is going to install 2,000 fast chargers in the UK. We will see. I also see that the charging companies are being targeted by hackers threatening to to shut down the networks that exist.
EVs may work.on a small island like mine, but in UK.....NO.
