A lot of people in the comments saying what were you thinking, need head examined for paying that. However, you are a food review channel, reviewing the cheap, the high end and all in between. I appreciate you trying different places and giving us your thoughts. At the end of the day, yes, it was expensive, but at least you liked it. Many times, you or Gary paid a good deal for unpleasant food. I enjoyed your review, keep em coming and very close to 15k subscribers!
Thanks for those kind words. Sure, I understand that not everyone who watches the video will want to, or can afford to pay the kind of prices for this - and that's absolutely fine. In my eyes at least t was more than 20 times cheaper and a lot tastier than my other recent harrods experience!!
Absolutely agree with you,people in the comments don’t seem to realize this is a review channel,and that Greeno isn’t just eating there to spend money.I watch as I like to see what is available out there,and because I enjoy Mr Greeno.😊
Most people eating at places like that have zero concerns about money. I suspect the prices are designed to keep the oiks out, and it only seems expensive to us because we actually have to think about when to put our heating on and how much it costs to fill the fuel tank in the car
The reason why certain places are very expensive is to deliberately exclude people from lower socio-economic orders. Even $100 for a meal is chump change for someone who is only a millionaire, let alone someone who is HNW. But many of these places also pay incredible rent and, higher wages, so that has to be passed onto the patron.
I paid $30,000 for a watch. Is it good value? Dunno, don't care. The only thing I know is I have a very nice $30,000 watch. Unless it's ludicrous, value is totally in the eye of the beholder. The only thing you can do is compare like for like. Is a Rolex better than an Omega?
@@idanceforpennies281 there is no value whatsoever in paying that price for a watch, it's nothing more than a status symbol for people without a working brain...but you do you pal
£6 for a roll in butter is just ridiculous. Only extremely wealthy folk would pay that. The chips are veering into roast tottie territory and to pay £27 quid for that - nah, not a chance.
A few years back, I was about to try Fish and Chips at Harrods but when at the bar, I told my friends to walk out and go; 1). £30 at the time for their Fish n Chips, 2). No proper seating given for that 3). Eating area was in a crowded, noisy area 4). Portions of others having it looked very small. We just ended up eating Fish n Chips for less than half the price with seating somewhere near Shepherds Bush.....just goes to show what people with too much money will pay for a 'name'! 😢
Yes, I do think it is aimed at folk who don't even have to look at the price tag - but who wouldn't be seen in the better, half the price joint round the corner. It was tasty though :-)
Places like this are fine if you have no budget concerns. The food is ok but for £40 I would choose a nice restaurant in London with a knife and fork. The cover charge is a joke whoever charges it. I reserve judgement on Tom Kerridge until I see one of his pubs reviewed or visited myself. Thanks for the review Greeno.
£27 for a fish butty at Tom Kerridge's as they for the high end customers. Nine chips are £1 each as you can get cheaper and better chips elsewhere with bigger portions. Cover charges for customers to put bums on seats at the table is outrageous. I remember many years ago when I went to a fish and seafood restaurant near China Town, London. I was charged for a the use of napkin and table cloth. The waiter agreed with me that the charges are appalling. A few month later the restaurant closed down which didn't surprised me.
The cover charge really annoys me - even the service charge is more acceptable - at least it is a charge for comething tangible!

Absolutely the worst restaurant in the Uk. I went there a couple of weeks back, it was a disaster, completely overpriced shit. Daylight robbery. But if people are prepared to pay for these sort of celebrity chef shit stains then it will carry on giving you bad service,bad food and a total lack of respect for the customer.
found your commentary from the joint video you did with Gary Eats on Cafe Paolo in Acton - love your videos, and keep up the great work!!! Do you only do the southeast and southwest, or all over England?
A lot of the videos are around the SouthWest, but plenty elsewhere too. This year I’ve done South Wales, Yorkshire, lots in London, Dublin and a few overseas too.
Mrs G "So where did u go to my lovely ?" Mr G "Just a little cafe in Knightsbridge" Cough !. Tis only tourists that keep these places afloat. Methinks Mrs G deserves a special treat after this :D
Jesus Greeno, im no Scrooge but £9.50 for nine chips! You need your head read mate! Fish finger sandwich looked ok my not 20 odd quid ok! The Aberdonian in me is shaking my head & rolling my eyes! Lol glad i got to experience it through your eyes as im highly unlikely to ever try it for myself!😬👍👏👏♥️
Those menu prices are utterly insane. £6 for a bread roll, £42 for scampi?! 250g of caviar for £490. Anyone who orders that has more money than sense! And then there's the disgusting 12.5% service charge on top!
Hi greeno...another great video considering your limit of space..well your meal looked really nice and I'm glad you enjoyed it.....keep them coming Greeno..always look forward to watching them❤
Hi Greeno, hope you are doing pretty well,this is video 1 of 7 I have to binge watch now 😂😂😂 Happy saturday to you all ❤ The restaurant area looks really stylish, fish fingers sandwich for 27 GBP, wow, but it looks really yummie ❤ 15900 , wow Greeno, what happend here, wohoo🎉
Well done for not just bleating about the price, it's Harrods so what do people expect. I do agree about the cover charge though, especially as you didn't even have a table to sit at. I am glad that overall the quality was discernibly better than more usual establishments and you enjoyed your meal!
At a place like that you know the pricing structure going into it. But compare this to the Gordon Ramsay meal I had in the same building and it was chalk and cheese!
We love our fish and chips. Where we live can be a challenge here in Virginia finding them on a menu. Have you been to America? Would you ever consider doing food vlogs here? All the Best Mate 👍👍 Jim and Harriet
I’ve actually only been to the States once, a week in California. I have to say it was a week where I are well! I’d love to spend some more time there if the Greeno Eats budget ever allows it!
Hi Greeno. Just watched Gary’s vid about a Ramsey breakfast. Not going to repeat myself but at least your food looked delicious and you enjoyed it. Good vid, thanks my friend. Stay well, Dave M.
Ime surprised its not a Tom Kerridge M+S fish finger sandwich...either way 27 quids a bit on the steep-side...9 pound for the beer...unbelievable..Thanx for the review..
Sounds like the sort of place to go when someone else is paying. At least the food was good, as so many places with a big name attached to it don't live up to the hype.
For that much I want the whole fish. All these celebrity chefs love talking about affordable food on their shows and then go and open restaurants that aren't affordable and offer tiny portions to boot. I have no doubt the food is really well prepared to a high quality and tasted great but it is crazy the price to portion size. I would hazard a guess that much of that is to cover the higher than average wages and the cost of renting the space.
I think you’re right about he higher than average operating costs here, but I also think that the target audience are generally unconcerned by the prices…
💕😀xx hello Greeno. I live in said pretty market town and frequently walk past the Kerridge establishments, looking in the windows at the diners! But WOULDN’T DREAM of going inside! We are retired and enjoy the simple life 🥰thanks for your vlogs.
Got to say you remained very professional and impartial especially after Gary eats review when visiting. Fish and chips just tastes better by the sea if you ask me 🐟🐟
That sandwich looke incredible. I am a big fan of brioche buns and tartar sauce. I don't mind paying when the food is great...but that is a lot of money.
Greeno, as a fish & chip conisseur I'd be interested to know if you've tried the M&S beer battered cod bites. Just had some for tea, I think they are top drawer for something you cook at home. Slightly pricier than average but totally delicious!!
A pound a chip!! LOL... If a piece of fish, even a fish "finger" needs to be slathered with tartare sauce in order not to be dry then surely there's an issue. If you're paying that sort of money I would think that anything less than a perfect score must deserve a fail.
I suppose that is one way to look at it - I just think it was a tasty food experience, and while at a high price it was certainly better value the other place i ate at in the same building!
That was a good-quality plate of food, Greeno, if not a little overpriced. As my late stepmum used to sqy: "you get what you pay for!" though there are 2 ways of looking at thst. 😹 The Red Ale should have been served at room temperature, not chilled. The golden rule is craft ales should always be served at room temperature otherwise you'll kill off the yeast, hence not even a single-finger head on that beer. The exception of course is lagers smand craft lagers, ehich benefit greatly from chilling as the brewing process is a little different - but that's me, nit-picking! BTW the Green Hop Ale out of Gadd's this year is paeticularly delicious and highly popular. It is very smooth with a bitter finish on the palate. That was a jolly good experience at TK Harrods you shared with us, Greeno, and I'm pleased it scraped through your green light. One for Dan snd I to try if and when we're feeling flush! 😺
@@GreenoEats you too . . . The Green Hop Festival is a very Kentish thing which is the forerunner of and runs into Oktoberfest but I'm sure other hop-producing regions of the country must have something similar.
Harrods for a fish finger sarnie! Fair play to you. It's nice to treat yourself to a luxury meal every now and again! Price is in line with it being a celebrity chef, in Harrods in one of the most expensive areas in the world! I'd go with a 4 too
You can order that Marlows Rebellion Red at Sainsbury's for 2.25.... And thats of course a consumer price which is propably quite a bit higher than the wholesale prices which Harrods pays. Says it all really.
Nine pounds Fifty for ten chips! were they sprinkled with gold dust or caviar? That is taking the proverbial. £27 for fish finger butty really! Feel sorry for tourists who are taken for a ride, never mind others. Crazy prices but if people are stupid enough to pay those prices they will keep mugging them. Cover charge and service added as well. Cheeky b...... A 3 from me.
I would give it a 2. Greeno ate it in what is a glorified canteen and shelled out, overall, the best part of 50 quid. For a Captain BirdsEye burger and 9 chips that you and me can make at home for 2 quid. Ask me, no matter how tasty it was, that is shameful. But, as you rightfully said, if people are daft enough to pay it then these places will gladly take your money. And rip off many tourists who will never come back.
I do like Tom Kerridge but have only been to his original pub in Marlow; The Hand & Flowers which has continued to be awarded 2 Michelin Stars for a few years now. The prices of these places are never cheap because you paying for quality and not quantity. As I always say, if you just want to fill your belly, go to a cheap cafe or McDonald's. The Triple Cooked Chips are an enigma. They do taste good but I think it is more about the "science" that brings in the WOW factor and the price. I am no physicist, so I do not understand it, but part of the process is to freeze the chips overnight; hence it takes them 2 days to fully cook a batch, and essentially that is where the pricing comes in. I am with you on the flavour of the tartare sauce, it s the same at The Hand & Flowers in that it is not very sharp or tangy, but I think they are trying (maybe too hard) to please the majority, hence they give you the cornichons if you want to add more tang yourself. Personally, I would not worry about being a "people pleaser", do away with the cornichons and put more pickles and capers in the sauce, because that is how tartare sauce is meant to be. I have not actually tried Tom's "Fish Finger Sandwich" and I was a bit surprised it was breadcrumbed. I much prefer battered fish; even when I buy supermarket fish fingers for everyday normal living, I only ever buy battered. Overall, I have no problem with the price because I know what I am getting; it is not an everyday meal, it is an occasional treat. Your 4/5 is perfectly fair.
I wanted to pick the item in breadcrumbs, because I heard the batter isn't good. Due to limited space everything they produce is gluten free I think, as they just don't have the room for a dedicated gluten free frying area. As for the price, well that's the one known going into it. Is it overpriced, possibly, but it was blooming tasty! Have a great weekend Gary!
@@GreenoEats I applaud them for going the gluten-free route as it does then offer more people more choice. Although I do agree, it does change the texture of things.

What is it with brioche buns?, I don’t care for them at all, too sweet for my taste, especially with fish. Over priced even for there. Glad you enjoyed it though. 😊
@@nightnurse2543 Well, considering we are all supposed to be cutting back on sugar it seems bonkers that they are shoving it in everything. I like wholemeal or sourdough, they can have their brioche buns back and gladly…..rant over!😁 Happy eating to you.😊
Entertaining vlog Greano, posh butty and a pint !! The place was packed to the rafters, so noisy, it looked to be overflowing not some where I would want to enjoy a relaxing lunch.
Interesting. I'd never eat there - I've always found that store a little "manic", but it's good to get an idea of what's available and what you get for your money.
Please eat the main event first, when it is still hot. Don't get destracted by the sides and let the main component go cold and stale. Better still, order your sides seperately afterwards.
Glad you enjoyed your fish and chips Greeno but to be honest I'd only be eating there if someone who wasnt worried about the tab was paying 😂. Definitely out of my price tange. Did you feel full after you'd eaten? They don't appear to be man sized portions 😂
Can’t believe,well I suppose for Harrods your paying for the name . So was it worth it ! Not in my opinion. But I don’t think anyone watching on here would want to pat that for a glorified fish finger sandwich . 👍🤩❤️
Although there may have been quality, there was nowhere near £42 worth of quality. £9.50 for a bottle of beer, £9.50 for 9 chips. The binocular section at Harrods must be doing a great lot of trade!! I get that you need to give a fair review across the board Greeno, but even if I was shopping in Harrods, I'd have gone somewhere either more substantial, or a hell of a lot cheaper. Despite all that, it did look nice. 😉
I can only speak as I find it - and while it is expensive, and were I out for a day around London it might not be the first place I would pick to eat, it was delicious!
Another great review Gary did a review her and he was very disappointed unbelievable expensive just goes to prove that money doesn't buy quality there are many people in this world who have more money than sense
I think it’s all about volumes of people. It’s London. Harrods is always going to be a tourist attraction and they will naturally flock to these places to eat. The prices are extortionate and I will never complain about the mediocre overpriced Cornwall restaurants again (but then, I’ve stopped going out).
Yes, there are plenty of people willing to pay those Harrods prices, I went at 4pm assuming it would be a little quieter than lunch or evening service, how wrong I was !
@@GreenoEats Do not worry about the oil or fat, however music is Knightsbridge March by Eric Coates for the area that you had that tasty expensive and tasty food..
Have not been in this shop for like 20 years! Noe sure I am missing much. / Ah Rebellion - that is like 10 minutes down the road from me. Prefer the blonde, but all are good! / That looked OK, but it is now for me / Great video as always Sir ! Mark,.
They put the lettuce between the fish and sauce not to protect the bun, but to protect the crunch of the fish fingers from getting mushy and sloppy from the sauce. Which you guys don't understand because in England you ruin everything crunchy by putting vinegar all over your crunchy batter and crispy chips, and gravy all over beautiful crisp pastry on pies. And half of those you eat cold. 😅
I'm sorry but the price was astronomical. It doesn't matter but only a mug sees that as a good deal. Xxxxxxzzz. I'll still follow you, but this was exceptional.
I didn't say it was a good deal - just that I enjoyed the meal - I commented a few times that it was a very hgh price, but also that it was the best fish finger sandwich I ever had!
I’ve no problem at all for paying high prices for high quality. What’s the point in paying £10 or whatever for a big portion of fish and chips and they taste like crap? THAT’S a waste of money. Spending what you did on a high quality, tasty meal isn’t a waste of money. Might try it myself - cheers!
Evening folks, back to Harrods again… after my Gordon Ramsay experience will this be any better?
Pricey, but tasty, what do you think??
Steeper than Mount Everest that pal.😉

How do you feel about cheese slice in a fish finger sandwich? I’ve been converted, but yet to see it in a restaurant.

I have no doubt the food is really well prepared to a high quality and tasted great but it is crazy the price to portion size. I would hazard a guess that much of that is to cover the higher than average wages and the cost of renting the space.
I think you’re right about he higher than average operating costs here, but I also think that the target audience are generally unconcerned by the prices…
💕😀xx hello Greeno. I live in said pretty market town and frequently walk past the Kerridge establishments, looking in the windows at the diners! But WOULDN’T DREAM of going inside! We are retired and enjoy the simple life 🥰thanks for your vlogs.
A window into how the other half live huh :-) Glad you're enjoying the videos!!
Got to say you remained very professional and impartial especially after Gary eats review when visiting. Fish and chips just tastes better by the sea if you ask me 🐟🐟
As I am Dorset born and bred, I would have to agree with your last sentence :-)
Quite expensive but it is where you are, and it does look good , and the burger looks delicious 😋 enjoy ❤
It was all very tasty!
That sandwich looke incredible. I am a big fan of brioche buns and tartar sauce. I don't mind paying when the food is great...but that is a lot of money.
It was all the money, and then some. But everything in Harrods is really!!
Eeew brioche buns with fish... Don't be fooled people fish needs a bread bun not a fancy light doughnut.. 🤢🤢🤢
I don't fancy that with Fish myself, i like it with Pork or Beef, but that's different.
Fair point - this actually worked quite well though, little bit of sweetness to the break worked witht he tartare and the fish
Whaaaaaaat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!The hell no way .
Whaaaaaaaaaat's haaaaaaaaaaappened?
Way to expensive for me, although I'm not surprised.Great review and fair score!
Glad you enjoyed the review :-)
Greeno, as a fish & chip conisseur I'd be interested to know if you've tried the M&S beer battered cod bites. Just had some for tea, I think they are top drawer for something you cook at home. Slightly pricier than average but totally delicious!!
I haven't tried them, but based on your recommendation I might!!
Wow the service charge. Glad you enjoyed it Greeno!! All the best and look forward to the next one! ….Smithy
Cheers Smithy - you off to the Bescot for the early kick off tomorrow?
@@GreenoEats As the Churchill dog would say - Ooooohhh Yes!! 😂
That would have to be a special treat at those prices. Scoring was spot on 👍.
Glad you agree with me :-)
As soon as you saw those chips, you should've dialled 999 to report a robbery in progress .
Ha ha, imagine the police response to someone moaning about the cost of something under a tenner in Harrods 😂
We can all marvel at the culinary acuity needed by a food reviewer to assess a chip.
There’s a lot of difference between a good and a bad chip 🙂
A pound a chip!! LOL... If a piece of fish, even a fish "finger" needs to be slathered with tartare sauce in order not to be dry then surely there's an issue. If you're paying that sort of money I would think that anything less than a perfect score must deserve a fail.
I suppose that is one way to look at it - I just think it was a tasty food experience, and while at a high price it was certainly better value the other place i ate at in the same building!
That was a good-quality plate of food, Greeno, if not a little overpriced. As my late stepmum used to sqy: "you get what you pay for!" though there are 2 ways of looking at thst. 😹 The Red Ale should have been served at room temperature, not chilled. The golden rule is craft ales should always be served at room temperature otherwise you'll kill off the yeast, hence not even a single-finger head on that beer. The exception of course is lagers smand craft lagers, ehich benefit greatly from chilling as the brewing process is a little different - but that's me, nit-picking! BTW the Green Hop Ale out of Gadd's this year is paeticularly delicious and highly popular. It is very smooth with a bitter finish on the palate. That was a jolly good experience at TK Harrods you shared with us, Greeno, and I'm pleased it scraped through your green light. One for Dan snd I to try if and when we're feeling flush! 😺
Green Hop, I will have to look out for that! Have a great weekend 🙂
@@GreenoEats you too . . . The Green Hop Festival is a very Kentish thing which is the forerunner of and runs into Oktoberfest but I'm sure other hop-producing regions of the country must have something similar.
I know you you love your fish and chips mate Russel here but not to crispy ❤❤
I do like a good fish and chips
Harrods for a fish finger sarnie! Fair play to you. It's nice to treat yourself to a luxury meal every now and again! Price is in line with it being a celebrity chef, in Harrods in one of the most expensive areas in the world!
I'd go with a 4 too
Yeah, more money than I would like to pay, but at least it was tasty!
👍 straight away
You’ll be disappointed mate
See if I’m right….
seriously, £8 quid pub lunch
And were you right?😂
You can order that Marlows Rebellion Red at Sainsbury's for 2.25.... And thats of course a consumer price which is propably quite a bit higher than the wholesale prices which Harrods pays. Says it all really.
Well yes, I expect the mark up is huge, but I also expect that the rent on that little corner of the Harrods food hall is also huge!
Any thing in life that’s any good, you have to pay for it!
Great job Greeno 😊
Thanks, I appreciate that 🙂
Nine pounds Fifty for ten chips! were they sprinkled with gold dust or caviar? That is taking the proverbial.
£27 for fish finger butty really!
Feel sorry for tourists who are taken for a ride, never mind others. Crazy prices but if people are stupid enough to pay those prices they will keep mugging them.
Cover charge and service added as well. Cheeky b......
A 3 from me.
The cover charge is always an annoyance. High prices, but the fishfinger sandwich was delicious!
I would give it a 2. Greeno ate it in what is a glorified canteen and shelled out, overall, the best part of 50 quid. For a Captain BirdsEye burger and 9 chips that you and me can make at home for 2 quid. Ask me, no matter how tasty it was, that is shameful. But, as you rightfully said, if people are daft enough to pay it then these places will gladly take your money. And rip off many tourists who will never come back.
That's £20 on gas and £20 for electric for us peasants to either heat or eat for a week...and we work too!!
Yep, I know it's not something that every can, or would want to afford
From USA, and love your food reviews!
Hi from across the pond - thanks for the kind words!
Why not try his flagship pub restaurant? I believe he was the first chef to get a Michelin in a pub. Now has 2 I believe. His pub is very good.👍
I may do one day!
Enjoying the channel Greeno!
Thanks Neil, I appreciate that!
I do like Tom Kerridge but have only been to his original pub in Marlow; The Hand & Flowers which has continued to be awarded 2 Michelin Stars for a few years now.
The prices of these places are never cheap because you paying for quality and not quantity. As I always say, if you just want to fill your belly, go to a cheap cafe or McDonald's.
The Triple Cooked Chips are an enigma. They do taste good but I think it is more about the "science" that brings in the WOW factor and the price. I am no physicist, so I do not understand it, but part of the process is to freeze the chips overnight; hence it takes them 2 days to fully cook a batch, and essentially that is where the pricing comes in.
I am with you on the flavour of the tartare sauce, it s the same at The Hand & Flowers in that it is not very sharp or tangy, but I think they are trying (maybe too hard) to please the majority, hence they give you the cornichons if you want to add more tang yourself. Personally, I would not worry about being a "people pleaser", do away with the cornichons and put more pickles and capers in the sauce, because that is how tartare sauce is meant to be.
I have not actually tried Tom's "Fish Finger Sandwich" and I was a bit surprised it was breadcrumbed. I much prefer battered fish; even when I buy supermarket fish fingers for everyday normal living, I only ever buy battered.
Overall, I have no problem with the price because I know what I am getting; it is not an everyday meal, it is an occasional treat. Your 4/5 is perfectly fair.
I wanted to pick the item in breadcrumbs, because I heard the batter isn't good. Due to limited space everything they produce is gluten free I think, as they just don't have the room for a dedicated gluten free frying area.
As for the price, well that's the one known going into it. Is it overpriced, possibly, but it was blooming tasty! Have a great weekend Gary!
@@GreenoEats I applaud them for going the gluten-free route as it does then offer more people more choice. Although I do agree, it does change the texture of things.
Looked quite good. Nice surroundings. I think 4 was the correct mark for that experience. 👍
Yes it was good Denise - perhaps not a place I'd go every week, but I certainly enjoyed it!
@@GreenoEats Good to hear. 👍 Apologies for my shorter response today. My brother -in -law has just dropped dead from a heart attack a few hours ago. I'm struggling to comprehend it and worried about my sister.
@@denisemottley22705 Oh my goodness Denise, that's awful to hear. What shocking news that must have been. Condolences to you and your family from all at Greeno Towers.
@@GreenoEats Thank you 🙏🏼
Just overpriced no matter how good it was!!!
Pricey yes, but very tasty
Hi Greeno we have a great Franchise here where I live been going since 1970 and still going strong 💪 called Barnacles Bills....only in my state of South Australia 🇦🇺 Looks beautiful inside Greeno remember the Hamburger 🍔 disaster though! 💙 I have to say Greeno our fish burgers look much better looking 😋 You can whole meal AT BB here in Australia 🇦🇺 you will have to come down under to Australia Greeno oneday with your family 👪 Very noisy too 😢😢 Another great 👍 👌 review even though it was very noisy...hope you didn't get a headache afterwards mate! Enjoy your weekend too Greeno 😊 😂🎉❤
I have never been to Australia, maybe one day 🙂 I wish you a great weekend too!
@@GreenoEats Hi Greeno perhaps you could do a video on any Australian Restaurants in the UK?? Just a suggestion?
All you can do is laugh at these places, prices and the food. I enjoy eating out at good establishments and think I have a good gastronomy knowledge. You can put anyone's name to food, the only thing you can guarantee is that they didn't cook it! Top review Greeno, loving the channel. My Mo Farrah slippers don't get me moving faster than normal........
I think Tom Kerridge did a shift there last week sometime, but of course normally he is not around... Glad you're enjoying the channel!
Greeno, regarding the chips, don't over think it or rewrite History chips are chips! 😅 Mr kerridge good review 🐸
I dunno, compare these to McD fries - there's a big difference 😀
As a special treat - why not, fab video 👍
Thanks, I appreciate that!!
Love it Greeno. I'd absolutely love to travel over to try his michelin star pub. What is it, The Hand & Flowers??...
Yeah that’s the one Kevin
Is a cover charge a normal fine dining thing over there?
It's not unusual in higher end places, but it infuriates me, even more than the service charge. It is literally money for nothing.
@@GreenoEats in college we used to pay a cover to get into a club or special bar but I’ve never heard of a cover at a restaurant. Regardless really enjoying your content. Thank you for all you do! Thanks for always responding 😊😊😊
What is it with brioche buns?, I don’t care for them at all, too sweet for my taste, especially with fish.
Over priced even for there. Glad you enjoyed it though. 😊
I totally agree brioche buns have no place on savoury dishes😮America is to thank for that!!!
@@nightnurse2543 Well, considering we are all supposed to be cutting back on sugar it seems bonkers that they are shoving it in everything. I like wholemeal or sourdough, they can have their brioche buns back and gladly…..rant over!😁 Happy eating to you.😊
It really was tasty!
@@GreenoEats As it should well be for that price, that’s the least I’d expect, glad you enjoyed it though. 😊
@@nightnurse2543No the US isn’t to thank for Brioche buns,the UK has no need to copy American.
It's similar to food courts in malls that we have here in the States. Just less fancy. lol
Well that's a tiny little thing.
Definitely a posh food court this one, need to sell a kidney to eat there haha!
@@GreenoEats indeed. I've actually been there. I liked the vibe of the place. I mean it's Harrods.
Entertaining vlog Greano, posh butty and a pint !! The place was packed to the rafters, so noisy, it looked to be overflowing not some where I would want to enjoy a relaxing lunch.
Yes, it was loud - very busy but also horrible acoustics in the room
I bought a carrier bag from Hartods once in the 80's. I got it on a 25 yr mortgage 😅..
haha!!
@@GreenoEats only another 4 yrs to pay & then it's mine 😅
Nice one Greeno, looks like a decent sort of eatery although somewhat over-priced? Keep up the good work
Thanks, I appreciate that!
I can’t believe how much the beer cost, the fish finger sandwich looked yummy though but the amount of chips was a bit of a joke. :)
Everything in Harrods is a bit of a joke really - £9.50 for a bottle of beer is a bit beyond the pail I guess!!
Interesting. I'd never eat there - I've always found that store a little "manic", but it's good to get an idea of what's available and what you get for your money.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Please eat the main event first, when it is still hot. Don't get destracted by the sides and let the main component go cold and stale. Better still, order your sides seperately afterwards.
The chips were part of the meal, not a side ordered separately
@@GreenoEats Still, get to the main event first.
Glad you enjoyed your fish and chips Greeno but to be honest I'd only be eating there if someone who wasnt worried about the tab was paying 😂. Definitely out of my price tange. Did you feel full after you'd eaten? They don't appear to be man sized portions 😂
It was actually enough to sate my hunger, I didn't eat anything until the following lunchtime. Pricey, but tasty!
Lets be right that did look good!!
Pricey but tasty
Looked nice , but out of my price range sadly. Thanks for the review x
Out of my price range if I'm not reviewing it too Kathryn haha!!
Iceland frozen chips probably 😅😅😅😅😅
All chips taste the same after I've put on masses of salt and then drowning in vinegar.
@@HoratioChinn exactly lol ...... pound a fkn chip my arse
@@HoratioChinn no vinegar though
I dunno, these were no McCains oven chip!
Ha ha - I don't think Iceland's chips are 2 days in the making (still can't work out what takes that long!)
Another great review Greeno, very nice place to shop and eat but think i'll stick to Morrison's....
With strawberries at £8 a pack I don’t think I’ll be shopping there!
Go ye into all the world, and tell every man woman and child how wonderful it is
May all the world eat drink and be merry.
🥖🎩🍺
✌🏻👱🏻♂️✌🏻
Quite!
@@GreenoEats twas a Great review.
I am made about a well made fish sandwich. Looked delicious. Good vid.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
I hope Al-Fayed wasn't lurking around for a free chip!!!!
As he died some years ago I doubt it 🤣
Can’t believe,well I suppose for Harrods your paying for the name . So was it worth it ! Not in my opinion. But I don’t think anyone watching on here would want to pat that for a glorified fish finger sandwich . 👍🤩❤️
It was a lot of money, but at least it was tasty!
Although there may have been quality, there was nowhere near £42 worth of quality. £9.50 for a bottle of beer, £9.50 for 9 chips. The binocular section at Harrods must be doing a great lot of trade!! I get that you need to give a fair review across the board Greeno, but even if I was shopping in Harrods, I'd have gone somewhere either more substantial, or a hell of a lot cheaper. Despite all that, it did look nice. 😉
I can only speak as I find it - and while it is expensive, and were I out for a day around London it might not be the first place I would pick to eat, it was delicious!
Another great review Gary did a review her and he was very disappointed unbelievable expensive just goes to prove that money doesn't buy quality there are many people in this world who have more money than sense
Yes, Gary had the fish and chips if I recall, and wasn't impressed. I loved my fish finger sarnie though!
I think Harrods make their own tomato sauce with tomatoes grown in Xanadu.
Ha ha!
Still think JAMES IS still the best restaurant you have eaten at greeno.
Ann in Cumbria.xx 😊😊😊🎉🎉.
I would agree Ann
I think it’s all about volumes of people. It’s London. Harrods is always going to be a tourist attraction and they will naturally flock to these places to eat. The prices are extortionate and I will never complain about the mediocre overpriced Cornwall restaurants again (but then, I’ve stopped going out).
Yes, there are plenty of people willing to pay those Harrods prices, I went at 4pm assuming it would be a little quieter than lunch or evening service, how wrong I was !
Remember my music reference for here? I hope that is beef fat or similar used in cooking. 4 of 5 give or take and too expensive. Looked enjoyable.
I don't know what oil was used actually
@@GreenoEats Do not worry about the oil or fat, however music is Knightsbridge March by Eric Coates for the area that you had that tasty expensive and tasty food..
Have not been in this shop for like 20 years! Noe sure I am missing much. / Ah Rebellion - that is like 10 minutes down the road from me. Prefer the blonde, but all are good! / That looked OK, but it is now for me / Great video as always Sir ! Mark,.
Glad you enjoyed the video Mark :-)
They put the lettuce between the fish and sauce not to protect the bun, but to protect the crunch of the fish fingers from getting mushy and sloppy from the sauce. Which you guys don't understand because in England you ruin everything crunchy by putting vinegar all over your crunchy batter and crispy chips, and gravy all over beautiful crisp pastry on pies. And half of those you eat cold. 😅
Ha ha, we do love our vinegar and gravy that’s for sure!
I'm sorry but the price was astronomical. It doesn't matter but only a mug sees that as a good deal. Xxxxxxzzz. I'll still follow you, but this was exceptional.
I didn't say it was a good deal - just that I enjoyed the meal - I commented a few times that it was a very hgh price, but also that it was the best fish finger sandwich I ever had!
I’ve no problem at all for paying high prices for high quality. What’s the point in paying £10 or whatever for a big portion of fish and chips and they taste like crap? THAT’S a waste of money. Spending what you did on a high quality, tasty meal isn’t a waste of money. Might try it myself - cheers!
If you do then I hope you'll enjoy it :-)
A chips a bloody chip greeno! It’s made of Potato you know lol 😂
But there are chips and there are chips!!
I guess you could argue they are not chips, more like small roast potatoes. They certainly are not fish fingers.
Well done Greeno on 15k plus Subs. There is just too much Harrods in the news lately and your video was so timely. Glad you enjoyed it there.
Thank, 15k has come a lot quicker than I expected when I hit 5k just a couple of months ago back 🙂
Well presented and maybe once in a lifetime treat unless you're very rich.
Yes, it's definitely not an everyday meal !!
