#Foodreview #Fishandchips #Wetherspoons
As an ex kitchen manager at Spoons, the fish comes in frozen, we defrost it in the refrigerator. It is floured and battered fresh by hand and deep fried when ordered. You’ll. know if it hasn’t been defrosted properly as the fish will curl in the fryer. Tinned mushy peas microwaved, frozen McCain chips. Good value for money
Thanks for the info.
Its amazing how many people dont realise spoons actually batter the fish. Mind you, there are some who believe microwaves 100% of the menu
Seems pretty standard
@@joncurtis199 oh there’s definitely a lot of microwaving, we had 4 industrial, high powered microwaves in our kitchen.
Ex kitchen manager at Troll cart ?
As an American in UK, I frequently eat at Wetherspoons. It is usually a solid hearty meal at an excellent price
In South Australia instead of mushy peas we have salad and coleslaw.
I was in Stirling Witherspoon one afternoon and the offer was fish and chip special.with garden peas and a drink for under five pounds......it was first class so tasty and well presented .l will be back ......yummy.
Nice to see a positive review about Spoons, unlike the sneering, snobby reviews people usually do about them!
Yes! I think they're great value 😊
At the end of the day you get what you pay for, but most meals are good value in this pub chain 👍👍👍👍
This sneering snob is just back from enjoying his pint of Doom Bar and scampi, chips and mushy peas. Terrific value at just over £8.
Yep the fish is proper Cod and is 100% made in freshly made batter before frying... and the pizzas are all handmade too at a proper pizza station... they do not skimp on ingredient quality as any savvy business knows you can't fool the public anymore... it's all buying power value and extremely well run as a business. No end of line beers just an awesome procurement team with a very large wallet.
Just saw video again with husband .Just awesome.We know where to go when we are in England now!Also my family having owned different salons in California helped me notice how nice both your hair is!Gabby has a beautiful color!and Tim’s hair is so in style in California..all the cool guys wear it that way!Love it!

If you're ever in England (or more widely the UK), don't go to Wetherspoon's looking for fish and chips. You want to find a high quality fish and chip shop or cafe.
You can’t complain at them, pretty descent and good value. Plus the app is a godsend. Cheers to you both.
You just cant whack the value for money at wetherspoons. 1.25p cup of tea/ coffee With endless top ups and a warm place for the old biddies to hang out all day.
We have a large Wetherspoons in Ormskirk and all the students from Edge Hill University can eat there every day and have one good meal that will keep the wolf from the door cheaper than they can cook back at their student digs. That's great for them and their parents knowing they are eating and socialising.
I distinctly heard the crunch. Looks good to me for the price. Never been in a Wetherspoons pub.
your videos are the definition of wholesome!
I used to work in a spoons kitchen yeeaarrss ago and I wouldn't wish that job on my worst enemy. Could have just been the one I worked at, but it was hellish. Hats off to anyone that sticks it out. Food is what you expect for the price, if not better sometimes. I used to enjoy fish Friday and Steak club because it was real raw food being cooked to order and not stuff in the microwave.
Have to say I've never had a bad meal at Spoons over the years but I feel your pain - I've personally found that in pub/restaurant/hotel work on the whole. Hard slog for very little reward!
gabby reminds me of trumans wife plugging those meal times 🤣 superb
I always expected the fish and chips at Wethers to not be high quality, not in a snobby way i just didnt see for the price that it would be that good until i saw one come out to someone and it looked amazing, i had it next time and it is some of the best fish and chips ive had recently, very impressed with it for the price, especially in that afternoon deal, not that i can get there in the afternoon!
Last time I had fish and chips at a local weatherspoons I noticed chips uncooked. Sent it back a number of times still got chips they hadn’t bothered cooking.
i think weaterspoons are spot on. you can have a nice meal and a pint for under a 10er . even a stella. its a no brainer. ❤
I really enjoy your videos!
When I had a home full of children, "home grown" and foster children, we made full use of a family railcard, and travelled all over the British Isles every school holiday!
Your experience of the various places you stay in, reminds me so much of the variety of experiences we had!!!
You can never go wrong at wetherspoons. They don't try to be something they are not. some many places in my city with high prices and false reputations.
Love it! I can hand on heart say I have never had a bad meal at Spoons! Their pizzas are fab too! My son and I went to Bute Park in Cardiff at Christmas with friends to see the light displays and omg, the food village left a very bitter taste in my mouth. We had the equivalent of one large pizza (in single slices) and a small portion of McDonald style fries for £65!! No drinks, that was it! We went to Spoons the next day where the food was not only better but came to no more than £40 for 4 full meals and drinks!
Looked very yummy, good you enjoyed nice to see Casper in his pram being good boy as always, thanks for sharing, see you soon xx
Good vid 👍🏼
Had Cod & chips with mushy peas at several Wetherspoons pubs all over the UK & I always enjoy the meal. The value for money is excellent in this day & age 😋
One thing to add? your last statement I.E "The chips were NOT chip shop chips" It's not a chip shop. thankfully they are better thn most F & c
shops.
What a coincidence,just come back from spoons with daughter had fish and chips,really good value,and great service in penzance.
Canadian here, I really miss the good fish'n'chips drenched in malt vinegar with proper mushy peas I've enjoyed on my many trips all over the UK.
Really good fish'n'chips here in our Maritime provinces (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and PEI) but sadly no decent mushy peas anywhere.
noooooooo
Here in BC, NO-ONE knows how to do traditional fish and chips. The locals seem to think it’s great here but the batter is almost always yellow, smooth and chewy - much more like tempura than the real stuff. Plus it’s never fried in lard or shortening like it is in a proper English chippy. Also, the fish portions are always extremely stingy as they use offcuts which resemble short, stubby batons rather than a whole side of the fillet. So they tend to give you two or three pieces which just means pounds of chewy batter and not a lot of actual fish.
A couple of expats have recently opened a “traditional British chip shop” nearby which I’m going to try at the weekend but I’m pretty sure the chips will either be skin-on (wildly popular here for some reason but always taste of soil if you don’t bother to peel the spuds) and too thin.
Whenever I go back home to the UK, fish and chips from my old local chip shop is the first meal I have!
Don’t forget the “non-brewed condiment” too - no respectable British chippy uses malt vinegar! :)
Would Love to see more Fish & Chips reviews! May your mushy peas always remain smooth and well mixed Tim!
Love you restaurant reviews.Excellently done.It’s great to see the different fish and chips shops in England .Another way to enjoy that beautiful country.Once again you are totally cool!You rock!

Having fish and chips at various restaurants in the UK, I don't see much difference in what you get vs the American "Fish Fry". Fish fry's are I think, better in New England than say Florida or California where you don't see them as much.
Hello there Casper. I see you there.
Cup of tea with chips everytime for me too ☕. In fact last night my girls and I got a takeaway of fish and chips, I made a cup of tea and we had it on the beach. Perfect 👌
I had fish and chips at weatherspoons a couple of weeks ago my stomach was churning for 24 hours, never again.
Hi tim, just catching up with all of your excellent vids this year. Keep up with the good work. Have a happy christmas to you and the family and all the best for the new year.
P.s if u r ever in the north east england. Try fish and chips coastline special at coastline in blyth. U wont regret it 😊
Hey Tim. On the strength of this Vlog, we went for some lunch at a Wetherspoons, The Old Chapel in Darwen. I had exactly what you had and it was lovely, thank you very much Tim. Awesome review as always.
That is awesome!
I really like spoons food, I always go for the bbq chicken melt, the pizza from there is actually really nice, the curry is nice too, you cant moan for the price when you can get a drink with it and usually pay an extra £1 for an alocholic drink
The Troll Cart for Beer, but it has to be Grelly's, on the seafront, for fish and chips!
Fish chips and more on marine parade. If your in Great Yarmouth there’s no better. Except the mushy peas and pie shop on the market but if your after a good one you can’t go wrong.
For a spoons that didn’t look too bad. The usual generic bag chips but I was impressed with the fish.
I had chippy for my dinner (lunch… I’m a northerner 😂) and I had to have a cup of tea with it. I think it’s an old school thing to do but it does feel right haha.
Had fish and chip with mushy peas at Wetherspoon Velvet coaster Blackpool, it was dreadful, I would of asked for a refund but was tired, the batter was like eating a rock and when I finally got to the fish, there was only a small amount there, chips were good, and the peas to. Going to try again soon, it’s lovely on the top floor with a fabulous view. ❤️❤️❤️
Yeah that spoons is hit and miss because of how busy it is everything feels either rushed or under par than other spoons, and more expensive!
Not many people return after finding the order dreadful, let us know how you get on.
My local weatherspoons dont do refillable drinks no more, they used to.
If you reckon those fish and chips are good, get yourselves to the black country museum and try theirs! Fish and chips out of this world and a brilliant day out for the family👍
The fish and chips are nice I've heard of the fish and chips before at wetherspoons I've never had it before I usually have the pizza and panini
Using the salt, pepper etc sachets is better, how many hands have touched the condiment shakers/bottles and haven't been cleaned 🤢 I've not had fish and chips in 9 months and have been craving it so bad, I will give in to that craving at some point I'm sure!!
Can't say I, nor anyone else I know have ever made such a fuss over sachets and packets such as this. Just tear off a small corner, it's really not so difficult is it?
Yup. The one in Gorleston...dee-bleedun...lish 👍
Love Gaby in the vlogs she cracks me up. Thumps bless him his getting so big. Can’t beat the spoons chips they are very nice.
Wetherspoons offers incredible food at an incredible price. Love a burger meal or fish and chips there. How on Earth anyone can complain is beyond reason lol.
Only time I complained was last week as both meals were cold. They were nice about it and replaced them.
Although it really shouldn't have happened.
A family outing to wetherspoons, nothing beats it for value or atmosphere
Not fish and chips related but the Wetherspoon pizzas are really tasty!
I'll have to try one of those next time I'm in one. Been loads but never had one.
I couldn't agree more great pizza's!
Yep - better than my last Pizza Hut effort.
1:49 A good strong tea with fish and chips is a classic combination.
In recent years Wetherspoons has improved their fish and chips alot. Never beat a proper chippy however, esp the chips. I usually have chicken tikka masala when we go to Wetherspoons, you can't beat it. I've eaten it in many places over the years and ready made ones from shops and cooked my own from recipes and shop bought pastes. But no where has ever beat a Wetherspoons chicken tikka masala, I absolutely love it.
Mate. Wetherspoons curry is better than it really ought to be. For anyone not a fan of spice, I'd ignore the chilli rating as it's complete bollocks. Very delicious though!!
That reaction after having a sip of the tea haha
I use the Weatherspoons app on my phone Tim!
It's great being able to order & pay for your food from the comfort of your Table especially when you are sitting upstairs & great for anyone with mobility problems.
I like Weatherspoons as the buildings are usually old buildings although not always restored expertly.
There's all damp on the ceiling in my Weatherspoons local.
The Mushy Peas looked nice!
The chips in my Weatherspoons aren't crispy enough for me.
And it's not first class Fish but for the price you pay in Weatherspoons it's fine.
The plates you & Gaby were eating off had just the same design on them as the plates in my local Weatherspoons!
Your were absolutely right Tim the Fish isn't the best & The chips aren't Fish Shops Chips!
Glad you & Gaby enjoyed your Fish & Chips!
Which Wetherspoons is your local ?
What I always like about spoons is you know what your getting. It's not amazing or high end dining. But it's decent, fresh, and in my experience served nice and hot and very affordable. Can't go far wrong
My nan loves a spoons fish and chips. And ham, egg and chips
Every Friday love Spoons fish ,chips and mushy peas . The Jolie Brise Teignmouth Devon best Spoons ever !!
So good!
If using those salt sachets, Pour a bit of the salt in the palm of your hand and pinch it onto your food with your fingers to spread it more evenly. I’m sure Spoons used to have salt & pepper shakers though.
Had a Fabulous,fish &chips at Weatherspoons,best ever,and the price,Wow,🍻
tea with f'n'c is perfectly fine
I just stayed in a Wetherspoons hotel in Edinburgh it was fantastic
Love the tea and coffee
Can't wait until late July when I am in Yarmouth again. Will try Wetherspoons for the Fish & Chips.
try Ryans in Caister, about time you toured Caister again. Plus there'll be a new cafe at the lifeboat shed soon.
I totally agree with you on having a mug of tea with fish and chips, I would also have bread and butter as well 👍😋😋😋😘😘😘
Went to wetherspoons in Hexam haven’t been in one for a long time, should of known better food was average at best, had to clear and clean my own table and was surrounded by kids causing havoc as no parents seem to bother looking after their kids anymore, just how I remember it, I won’t be going again, McDonalds of the pub world.
I'm glad they fixed the two coffee machines behind you, the flashing yellow lights were distracting. It looked like the used coffee grounds containers were full and were emptied.
As for the chips, I have seen boxes of McCains chips being delivered at one Wetherspoons when seeing them unload the lorry when I was having breakfast (The Mile Castle, Newcastle).
Fish n chips n mushy peas need to have Good batter crunch meaty fish chips need to be square cut crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside mushy peas no hard bits and not too dry so all in all the food looked pretty good well done spoons!! 8/10 fer me!!!
Can't go wrong with it really for the price and looks very tasty indeed. I've not had the Fish and Chips in Spoons but very keen to try now although the best Fish and Chips I've had in a pub would be The Murderers in Norwich which sets a very high bar!
Spoons for food there's good stuff on the menu, I've always been keen on their Pizzas, also enjoyed the Large Mixed Grill, The Half Chicken with Chilli Sauce or The Empire State Burger.
had a mixes grill it was great and have had it every time i visit for a meal.well recommended.
Don't mind spoons food, for what you pay it's alright!
My daughter once worked in Wetherspoons during her Uni days. I was taken aback by how food was prepared. I thought it was only me that cooked frozen convenience food. 😃 Good value for steaks, etc. Cheers, Tim! 👍
@@Sam-bz1hr maybe 😂😂
Oh tim why do you have to do this to me....I really fancy takeaway fish and chips now 😋 😩
Plus the dodgy chip was probably a root starting to develop within the potato
lol
Spoons have the salt shakers and the little packets
Thanks for the tip. I love your films.
Top tip Tim ....open the batter a little with the fork so that on squeezing the lemon flavours the fish ....🎉😘
I'm in Newfoundland where cod abounds! However, you can't beat UK fish and chips or Chinese food for the matter!
I have this meal about once a month, my only criticism is that on one occasion my wife's fish was a little cold in the middle, the staff were great, they apologised and cooked her a fresh meal, which was fine. I have the large meal with a pint of bitter and I think it's about £8.50 on the weekday meal deal, when you consider that a pint is around £2.70 in 'spoons, you're getting the large meal for about £6, which is an incredible price. Glad you both enjoyed your meal.
That is because the morons in the kitchen failed to read the cooking instructions properly when they chucked it in the microwave for you. They didn't cook her a "fresh meal", because they either re-cooked it or just threw another frozen offering in the microwave for you.
OMG you're sitting where I sat just after xmas !!!
Hooked in Eltham London try their fish and chips
I’m with you , can only drink tea with fish and chips too. Spoons is excellent value and decent food.
Vinegar first on your chips followed by the salt this way the salt will stick to the chips
When I visited the UK about 4 years ago we had fish and chips at a beautiful old pub called the Spaniards Inn in Hampstead. But no to the mushy peas. Just don't understand those. And I've never had a dodgy chip (fry).
We need more of these videos
Fab video guys .... I think you should start reviewing spoons all over the country...
I’ve been to Great Yarmouth walk pass that. That’s the bus station that they have cars go under to hear the sound of the exhaust and really loud
They are defo tinned peas which is fine. Fish looks lovely
I have had a few fish and chips at Witherspoonals I like the tarter sauce with the meal
We had fish n chips in the same weatherspoons last year and was 10 /10
I was always told vinegar first so the salt sticks , salt first it falls away lol little bit of useless information 😂
Love Wetherspoon's fish and chips 😋🍽️
It was a very good food review blog today when you chilling out and relaxing having fish and chips for your dinner in Weatherspoons Great escape Tim and gaby
Looks good to me Tim and Gaby 😋 Makes me want some fish and chips now guys!!
Looks Great fish and chips in Yarmouth 👍🤣 really like the troll cart 👍
Next time your in Scotland, goto small village called Anstruther for top fish n chips and then fish works in seaside town in Largs
For a spoons it looks great! 👍🏻👍🏻
It does!
The last time I had a weatherspoons fish and chips was in Manchester City centre, 2008 or 2009. The fish I had was defrosted but then left, I knew once I started eating it didn’t smell right. Only had a small amount and I was poorly for days. Told the restaurant and I was ignored. This does look nice, if I’m ever in Great Yarmouth and feel brave, I might try
I work in a spoons kitchen the fish comes in frozen we defrost it the mushy peas are from a tin and the chips are frozen lol batter is made in the morning from a standard batter mix where you add water
spoonies of late is of a much higher standard... - they have sacked all the bouncers and hired actual staff = it is up to airport, aircraft and cruise ship standard...
Adding lemon first diminishes crisp effect.
I love a bit of Spoons fish and chips, for the price it's good value for money with the drink included, yeah, it's not proper chippy quality, but still good...👍👍👍
I’ve had the Weatherspoons Fish n Chips and it was delicious, loved the Beer Batter
"I've added a bit of salt, to be fair" Fantastic, I love it when the food is under salted as a person who tries to reduce salt intake.
Fish n chips are good value there Tim x
Salt and pepper in pots, so many times, them being empty, where as in the packet, you know exactly what your getting. Having a cup of tea, with what sounds like an audible yuck? Wetherspoons, where ever, you simply can't knock the price. Wetherspoons, do everything to budget, so can't have everything.
I've had a dead fly in one of the salt cellars at a restaurant before 😬😬
Other than the waste, I don't mind having stuff like that in packets
