      Well I personally did not agree with Gary's rating. The chips looked as if they had been reheated from the previous day. Also, may I ask why you charge an extra mark up price of £7 for a PUKKA pie? When one can buy for an average of £2? Essentially you are charging the customer, £7 for a portion of chips. Is this allowed? You are certainly making a huge amount of money from this!

    • @knightsfishrestaurant
      @knightsfishrestaurant 5 месяцев назад +76

      Well I personally do not understand how you can assume we use yesterday's chips based on a video image? We sell a minimum 12 bags of freshly cooked blanched and fried chips everyday. Plus nearly everyday we sell out.
      We have never ever in our history used reheated chips.
      Also regarding your comment about pies it sounds like you're confused...
      Clarification; Pies are £4 to take-out and £9.00 to eat in or £6 without chips.
      What you are forgetting to include is we pay 20% on all our prices to VAT. We also have business rates to pay on card payments, paying in cash to the bank and also the gas, electric, staff wages, the rent of the building. Oh and let's not forget making a profit to ensure the business is financially viable...
      All of the above is why we are never going to be able to charge the supermarket or franchise/chain business £2 for a pie. We are a family business that prides itself on quality not buying the cheapest ingredients and selling it as cheap as possible.
      Thank you for your reply.

    Hi Gary
    My Japanese wife and I live now in Japan, but we met and fell in love years ago over British food! Here in Japan, there are loads of food shows, and they all finish on a huge ‘oishiiii! It means delicious. Found your channel by accident - have subscribed and recommended it to all my friends - and what I love is that if something is not good, you won’t do the Japanese ‘oishiiii’ anyway, just to be polite. You will tell us the truth. My wife Mitsuko says sometimes ‘you’re watching that British bloke eating again, aren’t you?’, with a slight criticism in her voice. Yes I am! And I enjoy your lovely and natural performances. Please keep them real for those who, like me, can’t be there.

    As far as fish and chips goes, Colman's in South Shields has always hit the mark with us! The staff are always great, and it's always full from opening until closing, every day. Nicely decorated as well, with photos on the wall of all the famous people who have eaten there, from politicians all the way to Jean Luc Picard himself, Patrick Stewart!
    For the longest time, they just had a single restaurant on the main street, but have since opened up what they call the "Seafood Palace" next to the sea itself.
    We tried to get into the new restaurant once and were turned away because we didn't have a reservation, and they were completely full. Luckily, underneath the restaurant, there's a takeaway part, so we didn't leave empty-bellied!
    Great video as always, and now I want fish and chips! But I doubt anywhere round here will be as good as what you had...

    Hi Gary, when I saw this was going to be a fish & chips review of a highly rated location, I had to make sure I watched it when I wasn't hungry! 😊 Looked like excellent batter, with great crunch & flavour. I thought the cod portion was quite good actually... Mostly because too much fried food can make one feel a bit queasy, so an excellent quality, smaller portion I feel is better. Price seemed reasonable & easy to share between two people. As always, I thoroughly enjoyed your review! As I was watching this one, I thought to myself that you & your son must be having alot of fun with the channel... Travelling around, trying a wide variety of restaurants, spending quality time together & making good memories. It's easy to see why your channel continues to grow quickly & why so many people love watching. Take care & til' next time. 💙

    Yes, another fish and chips review! (I love them). The usual fish, chips, mushy peas and curry sauce. I am not a pea eater, especially smashed ones, but I have a feeling if I went to the UK I would definately try them....and might end up liking them, if they are like the ones in this review. Any insights on why curry sauce is always served with F&C? I prefer tarter sauce, but again would give curry sauce a try. I agree that the batter can really make or break a fish, onion rings, or the black pudding (I had to do a search on the Internet to find out that "pudding" is not always a desert!). Again, you made me so hungry with this review...and I am glad that you had a chance to find such a great restaurant....and great mushy peas! Thanks as always, Gary, and cheers to cameraman! Look forward to the next F&C review I can find on your channel...

    I remember being disappointed as a child on holiday in the 70s when I asked for a fishcake and received what I would call a rissole! I was expecting a piece of fish sandwiched between two large, thick slices of potato, battered and deep fried.
    I can't remember where it was but I was soon to learn from subsequent trips to myriad destinations that this delicacy is virtually unknown outside a small part of South Yorkshire.
    I haven't done a great deal of research but as far as I can tell, only Sheffield and Barnsley hold true to that.
    Last year, I visited a chippie on the outskirts of Barnsley and the proprietor informed me that his establishment was on the border of that nomenclature. "Go yonder lad, and thee'll get one o' them rissoles'.

    I may have mentioned this before. I am from Bury in Lancashire, the home of the black pudding, I’m 75 years old so my memories of fish and chips go back a long way, back in the day I would go,to Tompsons fish and chip shop in Bury, located on The Rock. I have also lived in the South of England in the Military so have sampled fish and chips everywhere, but Tompsons fish has the most unique taste I have ever come across, plus something you don’t see in the South is Steak pudding, that with chips and mushy peas with gravy is to die for for. I’m probably going back to the 60’s but Tompsons is still going strong for over 50 years.Lets give it a go.

    Quaint old premises as befits my beloved Glastonbury. Loved the old Coop tea sign on the wall, and hot strong tea with fish and chips is just the best, every time. I’d say a worthy winner. I could hear the lovely crunch of the batter and crispness of the chips. I guess the fish portion wasn’t the biggest, but on the other hand what you did have was superb! As always a very fair review Gary and I’d go along with your score.

      You would think reliably perfect fish n chips woud be pretty a straightforward business.

      Apparently it's some dark ancient art, roughly equivalent to alchemy.
      But this elusive 'reliable quality' isn't confined to fish n chips.
      I'm a Brummie, well-used to eating Baltis/curries over the last 40 years.

    Battered black pudding has been a staple from the ‘chippies” in Glasgow for decades - a lifetime before the dreaded introduction of the fried Mars Bar (thankfully never have thought about giving it a try). In the 70’s you could get your typical fish supper (also a ‘special fish’ which was a breadcrumb coating instead of the batter); battered sausage; battered hamburger; deep fried Scotch mince pie; deep fried steak pie and also fritters. Served with large pickled onions or pickled egg (if you were up for it). Now you can almost order anything deep fried - from pizza to haggis. Also, the accompaniments have changed from the onions and eggs, salt and vinegar with tomato or HP sauces, peas in vinegar to today with curry, mayonnaise, hot sauce and so on. Keep up the good work.

    I love battered black pudding and I thought no-one else had invented it. A few years ago I had some leftover batter from the day before and was looking in the fridge for something to use it up with. 2 slices of black pudding surfaced and I remembered battered deep-fried burgers from the 70s. So I tried it and liked it and have had it a few times since. It makes a delicious sandwich with white bread and butter and a little raw onion.

    Hi Gary. You are definitely the most entertaining food reviewer I have watched. Always honest. I particularly enjoyed the Phaal challenge 😅Being a hot curry lover myself, I thought you handled it brilliantly. Keep posting these great videos my friend.

    Gary you make me green with envy. I wasn’t able to get England this summer (I’ve visited every even numbered year since 1994), and I’ve been to Glastonbury 10 times. It’s my favorite place in England. Loved this video.
