Evening Darren, maybe it's me. I have never believed that you can find proper fish'n'chips in pubs or cafes or restaurants. It's got to be a chippy, old-fashioned chip shop. However, you have changed my mind. That really looked the business 😊😊💕I used to drink in the Black Friar about 30yrs ago when I was working in Fleet Street,never ate there not so much as a sandwich. But think I'll treat wife and son tomorrow ❤️😋😍❤️£20 is pretty good, bit of a bargain. Make sure you get a good home for Daisy, she served you well. Allan&Family
What a coincidence! I was reading about the Black Friar pub earlier today, Interesting read, apparently it was poet laureate Sir John Betchamin who lead the campaign to save the pub in the '60s .
I used to work near the BF and spent many evenings in that fine boozer. I cant get excited about fish n chips - it is what it is, but i do love reviews of historic London pubs so thanks a mill DJ.
Hi Darren, The Blackfriars Fish and Chips looks so Delicious 🎉 and yes, you've got to have a Pint, with your Fish, in a proper London Pub. 🎉 Its lovely you were part of Blackfriars with your Health and Safety Job.
I just wish that restaurants and pubs would cook fresh cooked chips instead of frozen. I live in Canada and its rare to find a place that does. It makes all the difference as I rarely eat fries/chips but when I have them, I enjoy the meal so much more
Ooh one of my favourite pubs! We love it 🥰Blimey you sure love your food! 😮 better get to Thailand as quickly as you can! £20 for fish n chips! London prices again 🤷♂️🤗
Frozen chips ✅ Frozen fish ✅ Mushy peas out of a can ✅ Tartare sauce out of a jar ✅ Not exactly a glowing example of the food available in London, it's just another chain pub, albeit a nicely decorated one
Lovely old pub there. Fish and Chips looked magnificent, was eating it along with you even though I have just had a curry. Sad not to see you on the bikes, but hopefully you will get a Thailand version of Daisy Duke so we can enjoy the rides once more.
Lovely building nice wee lunch, been to London a few times never eaten there more around Bermondsey with a mate when we went to football pie ad mash was great on Saturday. Paul Belfast.
Hi Darren. Another great video!! 😊 question. What type of camera do you use for you videos & what program do you use to edit them. ? They look excellent 😊😊
Darren, you obviously love London and have a deep affection for its history and many amazing places. You say you are going to really miss London so surely you are just making things worse for yourself by going to all your favourite locations. Wouldn’t it be less emotional and much easier to leave for Thailand if you just forgot about London and headed off to Thailand as soon as possible? I’m sure you’ve made your mind up to go but aren’t these farewell visits making it harder and more sad for you to leave?
As someone speaking from 17 years experience with Thailand , having lived there 6 months in a row and built a small villa there and been married to a thai and lived in the uk with her the last 16 years , I can confidently say Darren is at the stars in their eyes stage ,, he’s old and wise enough he will get through but nothing anyone says will change his mind or even think any other way . One month is very little time for the natural probs to kick in , like they will do ,, the unrelentless heat , he’s got March April May coming up , the 96% humidity where you shower put clean clothes on come outdoors again and rinse and repeat , the endless supply of mozzies and the daily slaughter 65 odd I believe now on the roads , the cravings you get for your western food tastes etc ,, it’s funny but after a while you kinda , well I did anyway end up wanting the things you originally wanted to get away from 😂
Pub looks nostalgic and amazing mate glad they didn't flatten it in the 60's thanks for the great music and camera shots of it! The food looks amazing ❤ another great vid take care! God bless.
Cor your gonna miss that bit of haddock ,, my misses does make me a cracking tillapia fillet battered and chips which imo is just as delicious ,, and it is fresh cause we bring it live in a carrier back from the market
Mate you need to get to Anstruther or Mallaig for great fish and chips, ive tried all these and not a patch on Whitby and Whitby is not a patch on aforementioned
@ ah wicked yeah I knew a few of the yuanda lads, Graham I think one of the foreman. I was a at designer group the M and E contractor. Live your vids and super jealous your retiring in Thailand and not me ! I’m heading there at 55 also. Your Thai vids will be brilliant cos of the food and scenery , really hope you get what you’re looking for.
Well he made a song and dance about his health problems caused by over eating bad foods. So if you put a video out about lifestyle changes then you invite questions and conversations about it.
Blimey from that front view it looks like it would blow over in a strong wind,how wrong am I .It looks an amazing place . You do take us to some fantastic places in London Daz .There just seems to be hidden gems around every corner in London .Love it,will miss these London blogs . You have a unique way of showing off our capital city Daz .👍👍😁😁
Fish looked spot on, chips and peas,so,so,sadly you forgot to ask for bread and butter to make some cracking butties😋. interesting review and good luck in the land of smiles 👍.
A lovely, charming pub on the best side of the river, Darren 😛👍

Don't leave Darren, stay in london.
@@Obullshtter why would you? Another 11 months of cold weather ? No thanks. 🌴🌊🌞👍
Such a gorgeous interior. These last London vids are bittersweet!
What a coincidence! I was reading about the Black Friar pub earlier today, Interesting read, apparently it was poet laureate Sir John Betchamin who lead the campaign to save the pub in the '60s .
Or even Sir John Betjeman😉
You’ll miss this Dazzler. Proper fish and chips in London, but the delights of life in Pattaya City await 🤩
Oh Yes, that looked fantastic
Great looking pub, & the fish & chips looked great as well, Haddock seems to have over taken Cod these days,
Such a beautiful building! So happy it was saved. Looked very delicious!
That fish looked lovely, made my mouth water.

You’ve given me an idea I’d like to go down there and paint that , looks fab from that angle into the bridge

Fab vlog as always Darren 😊
Still wolfing down traditional Thai fish and chips long after he returned home. Fair play.
That's dedication for you, he eats where the locals eat.
Another great spot for for DJ. Really looking forward to you getting back over to Thailand 👍

Great pub - love it in there. Looks like fabulous haddock & chips as well. I've not eaten in there - yet.
Can't wait to start watching you when you move x
Massive let down with frozen chips! I mean come on. That's poor.
Pub looks nostalgic and amazing mate glad they didn't flatten it in the 60's thanks for the great music and camera shots of it! The food looks amazing ❤ another great vid take care! God bless.
No soggy batter there, superb.👍
Ive asked before about the price for the Ducati, im a cash waiting buyer
Hi Darren you look well and invigorated .👍
What’s the countdown to Thailand 🇹🇭?
Cor your gonna miss that bit of haddock ,, my misses does make me a cracking tillapia fillet battered and chips which imo is just as delicious ,, and it is fresh cause we bring it live in a carrier back from the market
Stay in London Darren you will miss your pie and mash and liquid
hows the diet going
Tommy K on fish and chips...????????????
Fishes & chip
SERIOUSLY, you are selling Daisy Duke ,NOOO😮😢
Mate you need to get to Anstruther or Mallaig for great fish and chips, ive tried all these and not a patch on Whitby and Whitby is not a patch on aforementioned
Is Anstruther really that good? I'm from Ireland and after watching afew food reviews of it I'm seriously thinking of paying it a visit.
The price is quite reasonable, you would pay that in an ordinary fish & chip shop like The Golden Chippy in Greenwich.
Hey mate
Im subscribed but your new vids don’t show up in my RUclips latest uploads on the app where all my other subbed channels do . FYI
It’ll be good to see you reviewing British classics in Thailand too alongside Thai classics
Looked good bro'
But personally I don't think they should put the fish on the chips as it steams the batter. Makes it soggy.
Massive portion.
Bloody hell when you think about it,how can fish and chips be £20
Love that pub..was first there with a liquid history pub tour in 2018 .. have been there each year I come back to London..it’s beautiful
The fish looked like it was frozen & £20 is good? Yeah right . Thats why it’s empty. However, always enjoy your vids
Darren goes to pubs and restaurants early, that’s why they are not busy. 🙄
You can’t sell Daisy please no.
Great film/editing on this DJ x
First 🎉🎉😍
😮
Superb London pub that one - been there many times myself. Fish & chips certainly hits the spot - their batter is amazing
Wow what a fantastic looking pub & the fish n chips looked delicious 😋Thanks for sharing DJ 🤗
Average, can’t beat a classic fish and proper chippy
Food looked lovely. Thanks
Hi, the fish and chips look great, the fish crispy and tasty. Nice to see a good old London pub. Your t-shirt looks good really trendy 😊
I was on one Blackfriars for 3 years gutted I didn’t bump into you. Obviously that was pre your RUclips days . Was you client or main contractor H&S?
Yuanda - we did the facade
@ ah wicked yeah I knew a few of the yuanda lads, Graham I think one of the foreman. I was a at designer group the M and E contractor. Live your vids and super jealous your retiring in Thailand and not me ! I’m heading there at 55 also. Your Thai vids will be brilliant cos of the food and scenery , really hope you get what you’re looking for.
whens the Pie and Mash one coming??
😊been there lots times with family and friends brilliant food 🍲 😊 only sad think 🤔 sells the 🚲 bikes dj 😢
Are you not eating healthy anymore? It's easy to fall off the wagon i have done many times. Hope you get back on soon ❤
In all seriousness why are you concerned?
Yeah cos a video of him eating lentils would be fun to watch wouldn’t it 🙄
@ddelta460 its amazing how people think they know every part of DJs diet and lifestyle when really they know nothing
Well he made a song and dance about his health problems caused by over eating bad foods. So if you put a video out about lifestyle changes then you invite questions and conversations about it.
@aestheticsbyjasmine940 🤫🤫
I’m in there this week 👍
Your to nostalgic for London,,, you won't last a year in Thailand,,stay enjoy your city.. just saying.
I do like going to the Black Friar for a drink. Decent ale there. Will check out the grub next time

Aww Daz, the bikes have gone!!! I bet that broke your heart especially the Ducati.
🤦♂️🤦♂️
I feel for poor daisy
Fish looked spot on, chips and peas,so,so,sadly you forgot to ask for bread and butter to make some cracking butties😋. interesting review and good luck in the land of smiles 👍.
Just wanted to eat the screen !!!!
If the fish is fresh you won't have to poor sauce and ketchup on it. It will be tasty in itself.
Such a shame that the mad macmasterer has slated u on something.unnecessary.. calling you a cry baby...
When was that?
That is def not a average London boozer for sure 😂 a gentrified one like most now ! But no way a traditional London pub
