I always find the best fish and chip shops are in the middle of rough housing estates. They haven't had a refurb since the nineties and have got dodgy neon lights in the windows. More attention to the quality of the food than trying to wow people with having modern decor.
The Hook on the Heath at Knutsford in Cheshire has won awards, if you combine your trip with The Cheshire Show (in June) you and Gaby and Thumper will not be disappointed!
i went to Harry Ramsden in Hong Kong the staff were English and you had a choice of local fish or imported from UK i went for imported and it was excellent my wife had local fish and that looked very good as well.
Brought back memories of going here in lockdown, it was pretty grim, badly organised and really long queues and waits, not a criticism I am sure they were doing there best. Good to see it open and doing well.
We have these two restaurants in the Richmond, VA area called Latitude Seafood,and they have INCREDIBLE fish n chips, the fish is not frozen & refried, the chips are the same, they actually use curly chips, and they scratch make their tartar sauce (bear in mind that in the US most places serve crisps (chips in the US) as opposed to chips (fries in the US), Latitude serves bonafide UK definition chips.
Oh yes.... chish fips with a sea view... nothing better in the world!!😁 ⛱ 🍦🌊 That batter did look the very best!😋 I'm craving fish and chips now but I've got no fish in the freezer!! ☹️ When I was a kid in the 70's there was a fish and chip van that arrived ringing an old school bell at 10.45pm at night... parked right outside the pub in our village high street. We lived just a few doors away from the pub. If my Dad was in the pub on a Thursday night, he'd arrive home with fish and chips and my brother and I would be allowed out of bed to join our Mum and Dad in a late night shared feast... I can still taste the crinkle cut chips now! The owners of the mobile fish shop finished frying the chips in butter, they were really amazing! I still cook chips in butter today (not in a deep fryer) tedious cooking, but wow, they have the best taste and crispy texture.
My "grannies" home made chips are 10/10 according to my brother....cooked in a big pan with beef dripping 《《《 ( a treat) slowly cook them till soft inside,then turn up the heat for a crispy outside, always vinegar 1st then the salt 2nd as it holds on to the chips. Yummiest ever.
Great Vid Tim that fish looked really nice I have to be particular with my fish if it’s two greasy I can’t eat it also I think you had a camera bomber at end there
The largest used to be in Guiseley near where i used to live and i visited for both sit down and take away many times. Harry's fish and chips were great, it was always busy in the 70's and 80's, but they let i get run down and the decor got very tired, not sure why as it used to be booming. they eventually sold out to the Wetherby Whaler in 2012. i havent been since then but the whaler in pudsey has some of the tastiest F&C around west yorkshire, which is praise indeed in our part of the gods own acre i can tell ya !! im planning to go to dorset sometime after covid dies down so will check this restaurant out if im nearby for sure.
I have only visit the Blackpool Harry Ramsden's, your having no good luck with the mushy peas. Lets hope you can fine the best mushy peas. The biggest Wetherspoons where I live is in Ramsgate, it has 2 bars with an upstairs and very big open space as well.
Harry Ramsdens fish and chip shop lovely restaurant there was me my brother and my sister in law in Scarborough have you tried the scampi and chips your making me hungry
Hi Tim I would have given it a 6/10. Not enough mushy peas. Refried chips...no No NO. People always say i should complain at the time if I'm not happy. But I'm usually hungry and the queues put me off. I don't think places get the turnover they used. Complain on line. You deserve a complimentary voucher😁
Great video Tim. Yes, please do follow up with The Papas in Cleethorpes that you mentioned in the comments. I haven't been but crossing my fingers that it'll beat the big chain of Harry Ramsden's for quality, taste and value.
My local chip shop is the best in St Albans and probably the world LOL PLUS it was used in a Gucci advert with Harry Styles AND appeared on a bill board on a roof in San Francisco. PS you can RUclips the advert.
@@barbarawright5774 agreed I've just never heard of the term strong brown vinegar for malt vinegar, I'm from Britain but I moved to America 21 years ago and I've never heard of strong brown vinegar in either county, who calls it strong brown vinegar?
Hi Tim ! I think the chips in the market in great Yarmouth are the best 👍 😊. I had some in July and I haven't had any better yet . I tried Harry Ramsdens in great Yarmouth a few years ago . I thought the were horrible. Thankyou for sharing with us love to as always Tracey 💕 xxxx
I prefer papas Cleethorpes. They opened one in new Brighton not as good its closed now no wonder try papas walk on the wild side agrees with the Blackpool papas
Nothing wrong with those peas. 😉That's how we have mushy peas in Yorkshire. And yes, the traditional way of cooking the chips is twice fried. In lard. 👍 ( uncle had a chip shop for over 20 years 😬)
Beef dripping, not lard - and that's the way it was at the original Guiseley Harry Ramsdens, which was a stopping off point as a lad after a walk in the dales with my aunt and uncle. My maternal grandfather had a fish and chip shop at one point in his life, and made the best fish and chips I have ever experienced. On special days he would triple cook the chips, and cool them down between fryings. Harry Ramsdens went downhill when they expanded and had to accommodate to poncey southern tastes by boiling in oil.
@@frogandspanner Absolutely right on ,, there is nothing quite like good old fashioned fish and chips cooked in beef dripping. It just blows my mind when I see these sanctimonious chefs on You-Tube preparing the " best " fish and chips. Utter rubbish, triple cooked chips, batter made with eggs, soda syphons, vodka etc. etc. I've prepared more orders of fish and chips ( professionally ) than I care to remember ,,, is there a secret ? no, not really. The single most important factor is temperature, sifted all purpose flour ice cold, plain water, ice cold. Make your batter have your chips ready and have them as dry as possible. The fat ( lard, oil, beef dripping ) set at 325 f. ,, cook the chips until slightly soft, remove from fat. Increase temperature to 365 f. dust the fish lightly with flour dip fillets into batter and fry until golden. Remove the fish ,, make sure the temperature is steady at 365 f. and cook your fries until golden and serve. That's it ,, that's exactly how thousands of British fish and chip shops made their product for hundreds of years. They didn't boil the chips in filtered water first, the didn't need eggs, vodka and soda syphons for their batter.
Looks amazing, please come to Kent my local pub is well known for its Fish and Chips the Pilot at Dungeness? Also Dungeness is Britains only deert? Please come visit bring the family
On Beach Road in Scratby, there is a Fish and Chips takeaway next to Green Farm mini supermarket just past Summerfields holiday park. Best Haddock and Chips I’ve ever tasted!🍴👌👌
Dined there many years ago not long after it opened. Don’t remember it as outstanding, but always compare any chippy to Dave Hanburys in Devon. Dined there many times and always superb.
In Bournemouth Chez Fred’s kicks bottom! Fred’s charge £8.45 for small cod, chips and mushy peas for takeaway. Unfortunately HR are now owned by a company that uses the name to charge very high prices. I have tried the chips in Great Yarmouth and they are the best!
For chips in Great Yarmouth go to the market square area, they have a lots of stalls cooking chips all day, so very hot and fresh. Just look for the most popular one!
Hi Tim the fish looked lovely ,mushy peas was dry,up north where Harry ramsdons from near here in Halifax ,we love curry sauce , gravy,even beans,a don't use tartare sauce but why people funny with it ,it's for fish ,and scampi ,it's only lemon and mayo ,fish n chips expensive these days ,my local chippy charges 3.50 for large chips ,that's Halifax ,thanks Tim 👍
I'm surprised there weren't seagulls milling about. My parents and I went to Southwold for fish and chips once and had to eat on the car as I was afraid we'd be attacked.
Another great video. So sad when the original Harry Ramsden's in Leeds closed. It's now a curry house. You might review the curry the next time you're in Leeds / Bradford / Shipley...
Fish and chips look divine. I feel like the one at rhe Blackpool tower basemnt is bigger lol but ive never been in but walked through it to Q to get up to the tower. I would sit inside myself as i would worry about the seagulls. I saw none in the video . As i said in live chat .. wish i could pull the fish and chips out of the screen .. or one step more .. Smell-o-vision to smell those fish and chips . Have a good evening tim
harry ramsdens first started in yeadon leeds in a shed and they are still in the same place new building there sister company there now The Wetherby Whaler
This is no way! I came here a little while ago whilst watching the fireworks, absolute rip off, played about £6 for some nuggets & about 10 chips, bruh-
Forgot to mention the chippy opposite the old fish market, near the harbour in Folkestone (what a dive Folkestone is nowadays!) sorry I can’t remember the name of it. Also in the very narrow road that runs up to the shopping precinct, used to have a coal fired deep fat fryer - using beef dripping! Sadly that has gone now too. You also need to try Saith and chips in Margate - last time I had it, it cost £1.50 for fish and chips - of course you would have to pay extra for your mushy peas!
Great short video Tim. We didn't go there to eat as had poor experience with harry ramsdens in other locations so ate elsewhere!! Nothing world famous about them!!
@@WalkWithMeTim Maybe give it a try in future but there are some great seafood restaurants in Dorset which we dont really get here in the midlands and so we made the most of going to them😄
Tim next time your in Skegness try the Trawlers catch fish, chips and any sides £6.95 they are really nice, They won awards for their fish and chips and their fish are really big. They are between the clock tower and Lucky strike arcade and got a pirate theme restaurant.
Hi Tim just watch your video at Harry Ramsden, Made me feel hungry, I like musey peas aswell they did not look great I like cod but not the batter so much,
Last time I had Harry Ramsden it was greasy and inedible plus expensive. When I feeling better and recovered I want to try the new papas in Blackpool..
Fish and chips look good Tim, but the view is amazing, what a beautiful day in Bournemouth, thanks for sharing 😂 the vlog i mean, not the fish and chips 👍😂
Harry Ramsdens started out in a shed in Guiseley in Yorkshire, they then opened a big restaurant with crystal chandeliers. They sold it and it is now called the Wetherby Whaler they do brilliant fish and chips better than Harry Ramsdens
Sadly, the more franchised that Harry Ramsden's became I think the quality of the food suffered - I think the business literally got too big for itself and they even had outlets in Kuala Lumpur! Even his flag ship, original restaurant in Guiseley, Leeds has since become a Wetherby Whaler! They used to queue for hours to get in back in the 1990s and coaches arrived from miles around. Unfortunately, I would not consider HR to up there as the best anymore. Very sad, as they were amongst the best. Lots of very good independent fish restaurants around though 🙂
I couldn’t agree more! I have commented on the Harry’s at Blackpool, elsewhere in this post!ABSOLUTELY 💩!!! In fact seagull 💩would probably have been nicer! And at £28.00, (cheaper too,) not forgetting one of which was the over 60’s meal deal, a real ripoff!
@@danielledewitt1 which one? I went to Blackpool and it was absolute 💩! I wanted the Seniors meal, it came up with 10 chips and the fish was thin and a good inch from the batter! My son’s meal left a lot to be desired… I have been to HR several times in previous years and it was great! It now appears to have been taken over by the Merlin Group. Absolutely disgusting, the booths were filthy. I vowed never ever again. It’s cheaper to travel, by tram to Cleveleys and have it from the chippy opposite the Royal British Legion. Fantastic and they also, when asked, give you the batter that has come off the fish - yummy with salt and vinegar! Cheaper too!
Ramsden's had a great marketing team back in the day with plenty of press coverage. Sadly being successful made them lazy or complacent and it all went south. You can even buy it in Iceland frozen food shops and it is as bland and boring as any other brand. You're paying for a name not a quality product.
This gaff is an absolute parody of the Harry Ramsden's ethos. About 5 years ago we went in as they opened up at lunchtime and got 3 portions of the most disgusting chewy cardboard chips. A friend who was with us who is a chef said they were last nights unsold that had been reheated in the fat for lunchtime service. I took them back in to complain and got told "it is what it is mate you order chips we serve chips"...I just left them on the counter and walked out. Funnily enough behind me I heard a few other people getting up to register their displeasure. Used to live there and go there from the NE of England regularly and avoid this Harry Ramsdens like the plague. Its just doing it by numbers and there are so many better options there too.
I remember the original Harry ramsdens at Guiseley , in the 80’s. The family sold the company and it went downhill, now it’s just a name with expensive Fish and chips that look to be from a freezer..
Think Iv found my series🤣 I’m probably the biggest fish and chips lover in the world. Iv never been to a restaurant and not had fish and chips, ever😂🙌🏽

Yeah! I agree.
Oh my days you are spot on!
Just found out this series and I just love it!!! Thanks!!
Why would anyone think battered cod, salt, vinegar and tatar sauce is a weird combo? It's the bee's knees of a combo! 🤩
Tim a tip for you put vinegar on first then salt it helps the salt stick to the fish taste is amazing
Yes me too💯

I’ve Heard That Fish And Chips Is Considered A Popular Dish In England. 🐟 🍟
lol you could say that!
And don't forget the strong brown vinegar!!! Battered haddock, thick cut chips....
@@barbarawright5774 strong brown vinegar, do you mean malt vinegar? I've never heard of anyone call it strong brown vinegar
@@bigdaddigaming Yes, unwatered down brown malt vinegar. Nothing else needed on thick cut and soft fried chips but salt and vinegar.

Hmmm. I don't agree with Tim about the peas. I like my mushy peas to be crushed, not liquefied - peas should not be pureed.

Sadly, the more franchised that Harry Ramsden's became I think the quality of the food suffered - I think the business literally got too big for itself and they even had outlets in Kuala Lumpur! Even his flag ship, original restaurant in Guiseley, Leeds has since become a Wetherby Whaler! They used to queue for hours to get in back in the 1990s and coaches arrived from miles around. Unfortunately, I would not consider HR to up there as the best anymore. Very sad, as they were amongst the best. Lots of very good independent fish restaurants around though 🙂
Not what it used to be
I couldn’t agree more! I have commented on the Harry’s at Blackpool, elsewhere in this post!ABSOLUTELY 💩!!!
In fact seagull 💩would probably have been nicer! And at £28.00, (cheaper too,) not forgetting one of which was the over 60’s meal deal, a real ripoff!
Harry Ramsdens is gorgeous.
@@danielledewitt1 which one? I went to Blackpool and it was absolute 💩!
I wanted the Seniors meal, it came up with 10 chips and the fish was thin and a good inch from the batter! My son’s meal left a lot to be desired… I have been to HR several times in previous years and it was great! It now appears to have been taken over by the Merlin Group. Absolutely disgusting, the booths were filthy. I vowed never ever again. It’s cheaper to travel, by tram to Cleveleys and have it from the chippy opposite the Royal British Legion. Fantastic and they also, when asked, give you the batter that has come off the fish - yummy with salt and vinegar! Cheaper too!
Ramsden's had a great marketing team back in the day with plenty of press coverage.
Sadly being successful made them lazy or complacent and it all went south.
You can even buy it in Iceland frozen food shops and it is as bland and boring as
any other brand. You're paying for a name not a quality product.
Harry Ramsdens are frozen fish. Good but not the best
This gaff is an absolute parody of the Harry Ramsden's ethos. About 5 years ago we went in as they opened up at lunchtime
and got 3 portions of the most disgusting chewy cardboard chips. A friend who was with us who is a chef said they were last nights unsold that had been reheated in the fat for lunchtime service. I took them back in to complain and got told "it is what it is mate you order chips we serve chips"...I just left them on the counter and walked out. Funnily enough behind me I heard a few other people getting up to register their displeasure.
Used to live there and go there from the NE of England regularly and avoid this Harry Ramsdens like the plague. Its just doing it by numbers and there are so many better options there too.
Wow omg! And they charge a fortune
I remember the original Harry ramsdens at Guiseley , in the 80’s. The family sold the company and it went downhill, now it’s just a name with expensive Fish and chips that look to be from a freezer..
Try "The Master Fish Bar" in Hastings, gets my shout.
defo! ;-)
I'm definitely going there next time I go to Bournemouth looks fab
its classy
@@WalkWithMeTim looking at some of the other comments , I guess that biggest is not always best

Then how do you know you like fish and chips if you’ve never tried them.

The Codfather in Staffordshire was always the greatest for me. Not a huge fan of Harry's personally.
Me neither
Been to a few HR places during my seaside breaks,...they are a bit 'hit & 'miss' in quality of their food 🤔
