This is my new favourite you tube channel. Down ti earth, really nice gent. No airs or graces, no waffle . Just clear, honest and fair reviews. Love it
My dream come true, unlimited fresh chips, oh boy, that’s what dreams are made of. Fish looked gorgeous, mushy peas, fab, cup of tea, bread and butter, what more could you ask for. My favourite meal. Great price. Great show once again Gary.
@@GaryEats Someone, Needs to tell Gordon Ramsey about this place, He might learn a few things & on how to do things right. The place looked spotless also.
Cant beat fish and chips on a Friday night, especially, unlimited chips, that's new to me. thanks Gary, and of course the cameraman, for the review. 🐟🍟 😋
I live about 35 minutes drive from Chez Fred’s and it is our go to fish and chip shop. We normally do takeaway and drive and eat it in the car. I have never had a bad bit of fish and chips from Fred’s. Love the staff, but choose your time to avoid the massive wait for both the takeaway and eat in. Defo 5*
I've been watching Gary's reviews for a while and felt compelled to comment. I could honestly watch Gary all day long. Such a joy to watch, just honest reviews. Other food review channels end up irritating me but Gary is different, his approach makes you feel like a friend. Keep up the great work!
Hey Gary, Fantastic to hear you loved Chez Fred! It’s been my wife & I’s go-to Fish & Chip shop for years now - was great to hear you rated the quality & value as highly as we both do! Absolutely ❤ the channel! Keep up the good work! Kind regards, Chris & the trouble & strife X
The reason it's growing mate is your a good RUclipsr, good food reviewer, no bull, just straight in, eat, bit of light banter in-between, pay and leave . Simple. Smashing it mate keep up the good work!!
Nice one Gary, that is where my friend Peter used to take his Mum on her Birthday, she loved it, sadly she has passed on now. For me I would have gone for the Hake, I love that more than Cod. Thank you both. 🤗🤗👍👍
Great review this chippy was my local chippy for years when I used to live a 5 minute walk away has always been decent in the summer months you can easily wait an hour to get a table
I've been subscribed a month but only just come across this review. I used to visit Chez Fred once a week with a friend before he passed. We had the lunchtime special and I agree with your review mostly. The fish was always the highlight, so fresh and tasty. the chips were OK, but never seemed like proper chip shop chips, more like chips I would do at home, though perfectly fine, and they always put up the name of the potato variety being cooked. And I always took advantage of a second plate of chips with the meal. There was also the option of unlimited sparkling water which I made ue of.The mushy peas were also fine, I'd rather thick mushy peas than thin. Great value and great fish. Thanks for bringing back some happy memories of visiting there.
I've been binge watching your videos recently, great content! Nice honest reviews and no drama or silly faces that you get with some reviewers. Another sub here, looking forward to the next upload👍🏼
Another very informative review Gary. That lovely brown teapot deserved a high score. I like Hendersons Sheffield sauce on my mushy peas! A nice meal in a nice restaurant. Pnilip
My Auntie Christobel would often take me there when I was a kid (it was pretty small place when opened when'd go there) when I'd go and stay with Grandparent's in Poole. She passed away 2 years ago but the last time I saw her, we have gone to Chez Friend
Another great review Gary. I reckon it won't be long that you'll have so many comments on your videos you won't be able to respond to them all. But well done! It's impressive how fast your channel is growing and that's all down to your no-nonsense, no gimmicks approach to your reviews. I've watched a lot of food reviewers and there comes a point where you tire of "zany" challenges, loud music and fast editing. I've just realised......you're basically the food reviewer equivalent of comfort food! And I mean that as a compliment :)
Umm - unless they moved it, Brixham is in Devon, Gary! (Devon born and bred, know the beautiful English Riviera well!) That food looked beautiful. It makes me really crave good, English fish and chips! It's been a long time since I had that delicacy! (close to 25 years now!) Thank you for branching out a bit and moving to different towns. I know the travelling can be tedious, but you're doing a brilliant job! Loved your York visits and now, down "Saath"! xx
@@GaryEats It gave me a chuckle - and with over 400 comments before mine, I didn't fancy going cross-eyed to see if someone had moved the county-line back! At least it wasn't as big a whoopsie as some make, placing cities in whole other countries! Love your channel - thank you for the high standard and hard work involved!
Once again another honest review Gary. It only seems like yesterday I was congratulating you on reaching 10k subscribers and your now over 30k congratulations once again your by far the best food reviewer I've seen on RUclips.
Nice video chap as always. I’ve actually been in there maybe 5 years ago I have friends who live in Westbourne….very nice it was. I agree with the chips chap…I’m off to the UK tomorrow so no doubt I be having a fish supper 👌👌
Hey Gary, just discovered your channel in the last few days, love your reviews, especially the London ones. You seem a honest and all round great guy. You've got a new subscriber.
🌲🌲 Ho ho ho! 🌲🌲 🎉 30k subscribers! 🎉 Congratulations Gary & also the most famous Cameraman in the world! It's fair to say you've definitely been giving the food a go...!! Excellent channel, totally deserved! 👏 All the best! Cheers to You both 🍻
Chez Fred! Brilliant name ❤ Looks great, yummy looking mushys, I hate runny mushys. I think I’d want just good old sliced white bread and butter so you can make a chip butty. 🥪 😊 Beautiful thick piece of cod. £12 for all that is amazing, I’d pass on the curry sauce. Have a great Christmas everyone ❤
absolutely spot on. Have eaten from here loads as it's my neck of the woods. never had a sit down but takeaway just as good. should try the taj mahal round the corner.
Hi Gary, currently visiting my parents in New York and I think I might have found you some new fans. My mum has earned you about 6 new subscribers (her friends). In addition to your vids, they love your accent... Thank you for another amazing offering!
Another great video. I’m not British, so I’ve never had curry sauce with Fish and Chips. But I do like a generous dousing of cider vinegar. If you like your tartar sauce, you need to come to Japan. They make a really interesting tartar that actually has cut up boiled egg in it. Really nice with fried food.
Well I'm a cod guy and know for a fact how good this place is so pleased you gave it a good review. I'm a Northerner but spend a lot of time around Bournemouth and probably tried all their chippies over the last decade , our favourite being Alexander's Fish & Chips in Christchurch . They don't have a seated area but we always go and eat them at Mudeford Quay just around the corner. Thanks Gary I need to take a trip down now asap 🤣👍
@@GaryEats ...nice to get out of town though and have a change of scenery. I probably have as many fish and chip meals down south as I do up north and yes there's many a fine fish fried up here 👍
Oh Gary, Gary, Gary! You guys are going from great to awesome and still rising. That food looked amazing for the price. You have a sure talent for these reviews. I know the chips weren’t great for crispness but did you get more? For free I’d have ordered more definitely. 👍
do you think that is why that offer exists? Who could possibly eat more than what is on that plate? Here in NZ Blue Cod is the most desired fish. We don't do the vinegar thing, but I understand it isn't real vinegar???@@GaryEats
@@patriciagoulter There's the awful 'Non-brewed condiment' rubbish (a holdover from the alcohol abstinence of the early 20th century) which some cheaper fish and chip shops offer; however, in general we use malt vinegar in the UK.
The food looked amazing,and plenty portions, especially unlimited chips,great surroundings,and clean,great friendly staff,prefer the spicy curry sauce,not fan fruity ,cheers Gary, another great review 👍
Been watching Gary for a couple of months now started with the harrods episode and is one of of my new favourites on utube great review of foods I'd like to try
Unlimited chips: makes a big difference from those posh places that struggle to put more than 6 chips with the fish. Looks good. But I agree, shame haddock wasn't on the menu. Cheers.
Evening Gary. You are certainly covering all of England. You keep us guessing where you'll be next. Nice presentation as usual. Cheers. The Curry Sauce with Fish n Chips is certainly new to me. So much effort also goes into making the perfect Tartar Sauce. Compliments to the Chef
@@garlicgorilla6540If you pause the video, you'll see the two plant-based options here are a piece of halloumi cheese and banana blossoms (a flower from a kind of banana used in a lot of Asian cooking) plant based is just a marketing term for vegetarian food
Great to see a shout-out for chez Fred, I worked there many moons ago. You would think you'd put on weight eating all those chips but we sweated it off in the kitchens! Absolutely boiling
A really nice,shiny& clean Rest,with a comfortable relaxed atmosphere! Now in general i'm not the biggest fan of Fish in batter ( i prefer it baked or Fried in it's original Skin),but i have to say,that looked the nicest piece of Cod,i can recall seeing, So white,with plenty of Body! And very good value! So this would have to be worth a visit,if ur in this area! 👍🇨🇮☘️🥂
Hi Gary, I've been watching your videos for a few days now and just wanted to thank you for your calm, friendly and informative approach. Wholesome content with mostly wholesome food to boot! :)
This is another great review Gary, that meal was incredible value especially with unlimited chips! Just one thing Gary you mentioned that they get their fresh fish from Brixham in Cornwall, the town is actually in Devon and I spend alot of time there. Please keep doing these fantastic reviews, very enjoyable.
A guy from my work goes here on holiday and very time he is down in Bournemouth - he highly rates the place ! Great to see that you enjoyed it as well. Brilliant on reaching 30k Subscribers........and you will reach 100k by the end of 2024.....whoop whoop.
Gary great vid as usual great value for the money for sure . Looked a lovely clean restaurant definitely worth a visit keep them coming Gary top man 🎉👌👏👏👍
Evening Gary Fish and chip shop looked good. Love Bournemouth too use to visit a lot. Nice bit of French bread and butter, No to mushy peas can't stand them but know you like them. Love Cod and it looks nice and white. Its Tartar sauce for me every time! Was the meal Hot Gary? Thought you were a little harsh with 9/10 thought a good 91/2/10 due to value etc but you know best. Thank you for the great vlog Gary as usaual love your vlogs. Till the next time x
Fish n chips by the seaside.🙂 Can’t be beaten. No peas or curry sauce for me though,just salt,vinegar and tartare sauce. Home made tartare sauce,even better! Another great review Gary.🙂👍🏻
Love this place Gary, whenever I go for a British holiday to Bournemouth always make sure I have at least one meal here. As for the chips, since a small kid in the late 80's they have always either been rather crispy or a little crispy and fluffy! I'm not fully Vegan, but am lactose Intolerant/allergic to Whey so can't have full dairy-but I sometimes do have their Banana Blossom Fish with Chips!
My family are originally from Dorset so in the summer we go to Bournemouth for a family meetup, I'll definitely be visiting this place if it's still open in the summer, looks delicious and the unlimited chips are great for the little nieces and nephews
Hi Gary that looks a lovely meal. On the down side its made me order Cod, chips and peas from the local chippy😉 Still its nearly Christmas and I need to grow my winter coat lol. Thanks for another good video.
Fantastic value I have been there a couple of times as i live on the south coast as you said cracking value for money and exceptionally clean and nice atmosphere well done
*The fish looked superb Gary Eats 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🙌* Chips sounded fine by me. Rich colour on the curry sauce was amazing. Price is great.. Excellent watching. Great to know these places!
Well done for hitting 30k. Very well deserved. Proper reviews with no nonsense or showboating. Lunchtime special seemed a good choice. Wish you had the Rock. It's my favourite. That looked a super meal for £12.95. And a pot of tea too. Reminds me of fish and chip restaurants when I was a kid 50 years ago. The fish looked incredible. Lovely big white flakes is always a sign of good fish. I'm a tartare sauce man, but my favourite is to pull the batter back, add Worcestershire Sauce and replace the batter to avoid the soggy batter syndrome. I think that's a very fair score.I would be happy to have a meal there.
Excellent value for money there, lovely place to dine and the food looked yummy. I was waiting for you to say you'd give them 9 and a half out of ten haha. I always try to guess it before you say it! That was a winner n my book. Nice one Gary 👍😊
I've had a takeaway from there a few times now, it is always very tasty, could not fault it to honest, the best I have tasted. I always have cod too, the chips are not the crispiest but are very tasty and I am happy with them. I also have the stodgy mushy peas, but that is how I like them. For those looking for it, it is located in Westbourne, not the main Bournemouth centre. Great review. 👍
What another amazing video and great meal. What generous portions. And unlimited chips too. Am I dreaming ! I have to plum for the tarta sauce I'd happily put it on anything. Great touch the fresh lemon slices. Looks like a great place for a family night out without breaking the bank . Well deserved score 9. Thanks Gary. Superb .
@@GaryEats yes I'm standing on the kop with my son on Sunday was at the corospnding fixture with my daughter last year . . Sadly the Scouse pies are rubbish.im sticking to a hot bovril.
Gary, glad you took my recommendation (and other viewers) for Chez Fred 🐟🐠! I'm next there in March and have been going since 2014. Always 10/10 from me. The lunch deal £12.95 excellent value👍
Visited in 2020 after seeing it recommended by harry redknapp on a program. Hopefully we have a good summer this year round and a trip to bournemouth again
That looked a very nice meal and definately good value for money.The fish looked delicious and the chips reasonable.Congratulations on hitting 30k subscribers as your honest comments make this enjoyable and i would expect that number to get much higher.Have a good weekend
Gary - what you show is that people really enjoy traditional food cooked well. Never had curry sauce and never want to - but really like Sauce Tartar made with capers, never had it with gerkins, sounds abit acidic? The mushy peas looked lovely - I like stodgy mushy peas. 9 was generous mark, given that the chips were not that great.
Thanks Flower, very kind of you. The chips were okay and I felt marking them down more for that would have been harsh, I've just had a bit better in other chippies!
@@GaryEats not been there for donkeys years, will have to give it a go sometime! Lots of decent chippies throughout Dorset, hoping to get to one next week that does a Festive Selection box… including battered sprouts!
Fish and Chips is one of my favourite meals. Your reviews always great and see you are one of the top food channels on youtube with your honest reviews.
Good well balanced no nonsense review. That meal was fantastic value. The next time I am down Bournemouth way I shall definitely be making my way to Chez.
Excellent looking fish and chips and the mushy peas and curry sauce looked absolutely lovely one again gary top quality review as always ( curry sauce all day long for me )
First of all, sincere congratulations on the 30,000 mark! A great find today, and unlimited chips is a certainly a big draw I would say. As ever, thank you for the entertaining and honest review!
Gary your score 9 out of 10 spot on mate,the fish and chips looked lovely and the price great value next time I'm in Bournemouth I'm popping in thanks mate fantastic review as always spot on.
Tartar sauce is my favourite. I travel all over the Uk and Ireland and have tried many fish and chip shops. Have tried chez fred in Bournmouth and it’s safe to say chez fred ranks as one of the best for taste. I think the best fish and chips I had anywhere was a family run fish and chip take away in Aberdeen. The fish I had was haddock and was off the boat that afternoon.
That looked superb, you made me crave a chippie tea now, haha. Nice value for money too although there's only so many chips I could scoff. I love tartare sauce with battered fish but do also love my mushy peas. Keep those subs rolling in and maybe you really will have people calling at you from passing cars, most likely your catchphrases, LOL.
Thanks for another great video, Mr Gary! The food didn't look very impressive in this one. I think you did Chez Fred a great service. The fish was the most appealing part (which is the star, I realize) but the portion seemed very small. "Endless chips" is irrelevant when they are soggy and bland. But upwards and onwards - to another of your charming and scrumptious reviews. Godspeed, Mr Gary!
That looked excellent fish and chips very good value as well. I agree tartar sauce is an absolute must . I have to say a definite 10 from me. That looked a very good restaurant. Excellent vlog.
Looked yummy Gary...and great vfm too ! Plus a great pot of tea...unlimited chips thats a deal breaker,especially if you take hungry children! I do sometimes have curry..but i do like gravy on my chips..and deffo tartare sauce on my fish..9/10 is good🎉 thanks for sharing 🎉
Superb Gary. My mouth was watering!!! Quality fish and chips and fantastic value for money. The fish in particular was divine. You can see why they are busy. Many thanks for sharing with us 👍💎👍
Gary, I'm going for a 10 because I can't think of anything negative to say. Phenomenal value. Understand your chip critique and that touches on my dilemma in that yep, crispy ones are great but softer ones suit how I eat my meals like this much better. Basically, you were asking about the 3 sauces. Well, for me, the tartare sauce is essential with some fish on bread and butter and I like to slap the peas and curry sauce over my chips rather than ponce about with pots .... kinda Eton Mess style I reckon !!! Gives me so many options to mix and match, with bread and butter if I fancy same.. Super video mate
That looked fantastic. The restaurant was beautiful and I loved how the meal was presented on those lovely plates. It really did look inviting. I can't imagine anyone asking for more chips ... that was a really good portion. And the fish... well it just looked delicious...thick, white and flakey. Unbeatable value ... I would go there in a heartbeat!! A nice tartre sauce too ... that's not easy to find.
Wow Gary and Mr Cameraman firstly well done to you both for over 30k Subscribers, you most be so happy, you have just shot up constantly in the ratings since vlog one. Ok re Chez Fred, i must admit as soon as i saw the place and the food i thought oh we have a ten here, but like i said before us watchers don't have taste vision, so i support your 9 score 100% due to the peas and chips, but i must admit for the price i was very impressed indeed. Re condiments i think British law says you must have mushy pes with fish and chips, but i love tartar so much i really do. Chris.
Cheers Chris. I feel to hit a 10 now on the channel, everything has to be spot on. Peas and chips were good but not great... the rest was excellent. Thank you mate and all the best.
You are not obliged by law to have mushy peas. It is a northern thing, like Greggs, that is advancing down south like crabs on Christmas Island, during the mating season. Mushy peas laced with Sarsons' vinegar, spiced with some chili, is great with your fish n" chips. I, like you, prefer sauce tartar, or even Belgian mayo on mine.
Another wonderful review. Good size cod. Three condiments, pot of tea. Spot on rating. Truly enjoyable channel. Blessings from Texas,USA. 👍😊❤. P.s., cod is my favorite fish. 😊😊
Love these reviews. No nonsense, no show boating. Just a good bloke eating some food. Great content bud
Glad you like them! Thank you mate, very kind.

Hi, dude. I'm a chef and I've never heard of that. I'll have to look it up. Japanese tartare sauce. Sounds interesting.

I probably have as many fish and chip meals down south as I do up north and yes there's many a fine fish fried up here 👍
Fair comment. Have a good one!
Oh Gary, Gary, Gary! You guys are going from great to awesome and still rising. That food looked amazing for the price. You have a sure talent for these reviews. I know the chips weren’t great for crispness but did you get more? For free I’d have ordered more definitely. 👍
Haha. Thank you Philip, too kind and all the best. I didn't order more as I wouldn't have been able to tackle them.
Fair 👍
do you think that is why that offer exists? Who could possibly eat more than what is on that plate? Here in NZ Blue Cod is the most desired fish. We don't do the vinegar thing, but I understand it isn't real vinegar???@@GaryEats
@@patriciagoulter There's the awful 'Non-brewed condiment' rubbish (a holdover from the alcohol abstinence of the early 20th century) which some cheaper fish and chip shops offer; however, in general we use malt vinegar in the UK.
Like this restaurant, I also get my fish from Iceland. And when I don't feel like going into town I just go down the road to Sainsburys 😅
Hahaha.
The food looked amazing,and plenty portions, especially unlimited chips,great surroundings,and clean,great friendly staff,prefer the spicy curry sauce,not fan fruity ,cheers Gary, another great review 👍
Couldn't agree more! Thank you Andy :)
@@GaryEats did you get my email,not had reply ,no worries 👍
During Covid times they were doing delivery by taxi for £2, perfect for a Friday evening! massive portions arriving piping hot!
That’s fantastic to hear
This place is a solid 9/10. I went there in 2023 and it’s extremely good. You get very few fish and chips restaurants getting into the 9’s.
Good stuff Luke!
Been watching Gary for a couple of months now started with the harrods episode and is one of of my new favourites on utube great review of foods I'd like to try
Thank you John!!
Unlimited chips: makes a big difference from those posh places that struggle to put more than 6 chips with the fish. Looks good. But I agree, shame haddock wasn't on the menu. Cheers.
Thanks Geoff. Was happy to go for Cod this time!
@@GaryEats Now't wrong with a nice fillet of cod.
Love Chez Fred been a few times over the years. Never had a bad experience. Fish always fresh and well cooked. Great review
So good. Thanks!
I can hardly manage the standard chips in fish and chips! Very filling! Didn't like the look of the curry sauce. Looked a bit glutinous
Indeed! I felt the same with the mushy peas, a bit stodgy for me.
Evening Gary. You are certainly covering all of England. You keep us guessing where you'll be next. Nice presentation as usual. Cheers. The Curry Sauce with Fish n Chips is certainly new to me. So much effort also goes into making the perfect Tartar Sauce. Compliments to the Chef
Evening mate. Thanks and yes, tartar sauce has to be spot on 👍
‘Plant based’? That’s the Frankenstein slop that fills the shelves in supermarkets because nobody buys it.
Vegetarians and vegans do much better in the UK than in many countries. It’s nice to see so many places catering to non-meat/fish diets.
@@mattl_ ‘plant based’ stuff is processed GM soy lab muck though.
Thanks for watching.
@@garlicgorilla6540If you pause the video, you'll see the two plant-based options here are a piece of halloumi cheese and banana blossoms (a flower from a kind of banana used in a lot of Asian cooking)
plant based is just a marketing term for vegetarian food
Welp, it tastes better than meat based stuff quite often.
Great to see a shout-out for chez Fred, I worked there many moons ago. You would think you'd put on weight eating all those chips but we sweated it off in the kitchens! Absolutely boiling
Great to hear you've worked there. They deserve all the credit in the world.
That is a 10 out of 10 for me and very good value for money great review as always
Excellent Frank. Glad you liked this one!
A really nice,shiny& clean Rest,with a comfortable relaxed atmosphere! Now in general i'm not the biggest fan of Fish in batter ( i prefer it baked or Fried in it's original Skin),but i have to say,that looked the nicest piece of Cod,i can recall seeing, So white,with plenty of Body! And very good value!
So this would have to be worth a visit,if ur in this area! 👍🇨🇮☘️🥂
Glad you enjoyed!!
Hi Gary, I've been watching your videos for a few days now and just wanted to thank you for your calm, friendly and informative approach. Wholesome content with mostly wholesome food to boot! :)
Thank you very much for your wholesome comment. It means a lot!
Really good value on the fish & chips. I have lemon and tartare sauce, love a homemade one. Have a great day Gaz xx
Thank you very much and you have a great evening, Nicole xx
This is another great review Gary, that meal was incredible value especially with unlimited chips! Just one thing Gary you mentioned that they get their fresh fish from Brixham in Cornwall, the town is actually in Devon and I spend alot of time there. Please keep doing these fantastic reviews, very enjoyable.
I really appreciate that, thank you Chris again
Love those fish and chips 😘great value and great location. Well done Gary & son!! ☕️
This fish and chip shop was outstanding, Carol 🌹
Great review Gary - I would eat here ! Amazing - love the restaurant , love your review. Mark
So good Mark. Glad you liked it.
A guy from my work goes here on holiday and very time he is down in Bournemouth - he highly rates the place ! Great to see that you enjoyed it as well.
Brilliant on reaching 30k Subscribers........and you will reach 100k by the end of 2024.....whoop whoop.
I wish! That would be amazing. Thank you 😊
I've just watched your review of Rick Stein, Padstow and wow what a difference. Great videos Gary, really enjoyable viewing.
Very mixed Colin
Gary great vid as usual great value for the money for sure . Looked a lovely clean restaurant definitely worth a visit keep them coming Gary top man 🎉👌👏👏👍
Thank you Dean. All the best.
Evening Gary Fish and chip shop looked good. Love Bournemouth too use to visit a lot. Nice bit of French bread and butter, No to mushy peas can't stand them but know you like them. Love Cod and it looks nice and white. Its Tartar sauce for me every time! Was the meal Hot Gary? Thought you were a little harsh with 9/10 thought a good 91/2/10 due to value etc but you know best. Thank you for the great vlog Gary as usaual love your vlogs. Till the next time x
Hi Susan. Much appreciated and have a good weekend.
Fish n chips by the seaside.🙂 Can’t be beaten. No peas or curry sauce for me though,just salt,vinegar and tartare sauce. Home made tartare sauce,even better! Another great review Gary.🙂👍🏻
Spot on Margaret. Thank you!
My local, and what a place! Absolutely unreal.
Very good!!
Another great presentation! Nice one Gary. Giving me a fantastic appetite back. Thanks.
That’s great to hear Stephen 👌
Love this place Gary, whenever I go for a British holiday to Bournemouth always make sure I have at least one meal here.
As for the chips, since a small kid in the late 80's they have always either been rather crispy or a little crispy and fluffy!
I'm not fully Vegan, but am lactose Intolerant/allergic to Whey so can't have full dairy-but I sometimes do have their Banana Blossom Fish with Chips!
My family are originally from Dorset so in the summer we go to Bournemouth for a family meetup, I'll definitely be visiting this place if it's still open in the summer, looks delicious and the unlimited chips are great for the little nieces and nephews
Lovely stuff!
Great value for money, Gary! Never liked curry sauce with my fish and chips but then again it is not very prolific here in Scotland😂
Haha no problem Sheila. Have a good one!
Hi Gary that looks a lovely meal. On the down side its made me order Cod, chips and peas from the local chippy😉 Still its nearly Christmas and I need to grow my winter coat lol. Thanks for another good video.
Have a good one Tracy! Send me the invoice lol!
Fantastic value I have been there a couple of times as i live on the south coast as you said cracking value for money and exceptionally clean and nice atmosphere well done
Totally agree!
*The fish looked superb Gary Eats 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🙌*
Chips sounded fine by me. Rich colour on the curry sauce was amazing. Price is great..
Excellent watching. Great to know these places!
Thank you Glenda!!
Well done for hitting 30k. Very well deserved. Proper reviews with no nonsense or showboating.
Lunchtime special seemed a good choice. Wish you had the Rock. It's my favourite.
That looked a super meal for £12.95. And a pot of tea too. Reminds me of fish and chip restaurants when I was a kid 50 years ago.
The fish looked incredible. Lovely big white flakes is always a sign of good fish. I'm a tartare sauce man, but my favourite is to pull the batter back, add Worcestershire Sauce and replace the batter to avoid the soggy batter syndrome. I think that's a very fair score.I would be happy to have a meal there.
Thank you Andrew. Very kind of you :)
I will change it up now and then and get different fish. Thanks for the tip. Have a good weekend!
I have been on several
Occasions and it’s been excellent and the fish has always been super fresh and fantastic chip shop
Great to hear!
We tried Chez Fred when we followed Fulham away to Bournemouth. Fantastic quality at an amazing price . Keep up the good work CF .
Great stuff!
Excellent value for money there, lovely place to dine and the food looked yummy. I was waiting for you to say you'd give them 9 and a half out of ten haha. I always try to guess it before you say it! That was a winner n my book. Nice one Gary 👍😊
Great stuff Louise. Very close to a 9!
I've had a takeaway from there a few times now, it is always very tasty, could not fault it to honest, the best I have tasted. I always have cod too, the chips are not the crispiest but are very tasty and I am happy with them. I also have the stodgy mushy peas, but that is how I like them. For those looking for it, it is located in Westbourne, not the main Bournemouth centre. Great review. 👍
Thank you for your kind words. It's a lovely place!
What another amazing video and great meal. What generous portions. And unlimited chips too. Am I dreaming !
I have to plum for the tarta sauce I'd happily put it on anything. Great touch the fresh lemon slices. Looks like a great place for a family night out without breaking the bank . Well deserved score 9. Thanks Gary. Superb .
Didn't know you were a Liverpool fan Paul. We're winning this weekend mate!! Cheers for the kind words.
@@GaryEats yes I'm standing on the kop with my son on Sunday was at the corospnding fixture with my daughter last year . . Sadly the Scouse pies are rubbish.im sticking to a hot bovril.
Very jealous of you mate. Been a while since I’ve been to Anfield. Have a good time with your son.
Gary, glad you took my recommendation (and other viewers) for Chez Fred 🐟🐠! I'm next there in March and have been going since 2014. Always 10/10 from me. The lunch deal £12.95 excellent value👍
Thank you for the fantastic recommendation Martin. All the best my friend...
@@GaryEats Glad you enjoyed Gary. I am glad you went to Chez Fred.
Visited in 2020 after seeing it recommended by harry redknapp on a program. Hopefully we have a good summer this year round and a trip to bournemouth again
I hope you enjoy and the weather improves 😊
That looked a very nice meal and definately good value for money.The fish looked delicious and the chips reasonable.Congratulations on hitting 30k subscribers as your honest comments make this enjoyable and i would expect that number to get much higher.Have a good weekend
Thanks Paul, have a good weekend!
Gary - what you show is that people really enjoy traditional food cooked well.
Never had curry sauce and never want to - but really like Sauce Tartar made with capers, never had it with gerkins, sounds abit acidic?
The mushy peas looked lovely - I like stodgy mushy peas.
9 was generous mark, given that the chips were not that great.
Thanks Flower, very kind of you.
The chips were okay and I felt marking them down more for that would have been harsh, I've just had a bit better in other chippies!
Down in my manor huh Gary 😀 Glad to see someone else showcasing what Dorset has to offer. Great deal that for Bournemouth prices that's for sure!!
Lovely down here mate. Really enjoyed it - have you been to Chez Fred?
@@GaryEats not been there for donkeys years, will have to give it a go sometime! Lots of decent chippies throughout Dorset, hoping to get to one next week that does a Festive Selection box… including battered sprouts!
Thanks for sharing Gary ; I was born in Devon : Brixham is in Devon, not Cornwall ; It looked nice 👍 Have a great Christmas. 🎅 CQ 😎👍🎤🎵🎵🇬🇧
Thanks, you too Chris. Yep, been corrected now.
😅yes i agree just good food reviews no nonsense straight tobthe point them fish and chips looked very tasty keep up the good work gary 👍
Thank you matey.
Fish and Chips is one of my favourite meals. Your reviews always great and see you are one of the top food channels on youtube with your honest reviews.
You are too kind Nick - have a good weekend!
I've just started watching these reviews and fair play there's no nonsense and good honest reviews...Keep up the great work 👍🏻
I appreciate that! Thank you :)
Good well balanced no nonsense review. That meal was fantastic value. The next time I am down Bournemouth way I shall definitely be making my way to Chez.
You should! Thanks David :)
Excellent looking fish and chips and the mushy peas and curry sauce looked absolutely lovely one again gary top quality review as always ( curry sauce all day long for me )
Glad you enjoyed it Richard!
First of all, sincere congratulations on the 30,000 mark! A great find today, and unlimited chips is a certainly a big draw I would say. As ever, thank you for the entertaining and honest review!
Thank you Dom. Very kind of you :)
Gary your score 9 out of 10 spot on mate,the fish and chips looked lovely and the price great value next time I'm in Bournemouth I'm popping in thanks mate fantastic review as always spot on.
This I highly recommend Malcolm fantastic value
Tartar sauce is my favourite. I travel all over the Uk and Ireland and have tried many fish and chip shops. Have tried chez fred in Bournmouth and it’s safe to say chez fred ranks as one of the best for taste. I think the best fish and chips I had anywhere was a family run fish and chip take away in Aberdeen. The fish I had was haddock and was off the boat that afternoon.
So good!
That looked superb, you made me crave a chippie tea now, haha. Nice value for money too although there's only so many chips I could scoff. I love tartare sauce with battered fish but do also love my mushy peas. Keep those subs rolling in and maybe you really will have people calling at you from passing cars, most likely your catchphrases, LOL.
Lol, I thought that was pretty funny. He was not a happy chappy.
Thanks for another great video, Mr Gary! The food didn't look very impressive in this one. I think you did Chez Fred a great service. The fish was the most appealing part (which is the star, I realize) but the portion seemed very small. "Endless chips" is irrelevant when they are soggy and bland. But upwards and onwards - to another of your charming and scrumptious reviews. Godspeed, Mr Gary!
I have to say, I thought it was good food and great value, I hope you’re enjoying your week
That looked excellent fish and chips very good value as well. I agree tartar sauce is an absolute must . I have to say a definite 10 from me. That looked a very good restaurant. Excellent vlog.
Hope you enjoyed Colin!
Just came across this channel and loving it. Honest entertaining commentary, great food photography. Cheers, Gary
Thanks so much! Much appreciated my friend.
Looked yummy Gary...and great vfm too ! Plus a great pot of tea...unlimited chips thats a deal breaker,especially if you take hungry children! I do sometimes have curry..but i do like gravy on my chips..and deffo tartare sauce on my fish..9/10 is good🎉 thanks for sharing 🎉
More than welcome and thank you!
Superb Gary. My mouth was watering!!! Quality fish and chips and fantastic value for money. The fish in particular was divine. You can see why they are busy. Many thanks for sharing with us 👍💎👍
You’re welcome Andreas 😊 yep, superb!
Thanks Gary, that was mouthwatering, and an excellent price "bon week-end" thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it Colin.
Gary, I'm going for a 10 because I can't think of anything negative to say. Phenomenal value.
Understand your chip critique and that touches on my dilemma in that yep, crispy ones are great but softer ones suit how I eat my meals like this much better. Basically, you were asking about the 3 sauces. Well, for me, the tartare sauce is essential with some fish on bread and butter and I like to slap the peas and curry sauce over my chips rather than ponce about with pots .... kinda Eton Mess style I reckon !!! Gives me so many options to mix and match, with bread and butter if I fancy same..
Super video mate
This was very good value and a fish and chip shop I would recommend
That looked fantastic. The restaurant was beautiful and I loved how the meal was presented on those lovely plates. It really did look inviting. I can't imagine anyone asking for more chips ... that was a really good portion. And the fish... well it just looked delicious...thick, white and flakey. Unbeatable value ... I would go there in a heartbeat!! A nice tartre sauce too ... that's not easy to find.
Good stuff Melanie. I would highly recommend 👍🏼
Love these videos Gary. Really honest reviews. Top man.
Thanks Tim! 👍
Tartare sauce and mushy peas for me. Never been one for curry sauce with my fish and chips. I'll have to try next time. Good review 👍
Thank you mate 😊
Wow Gary and Mr Cameraman firstly well done to you both for over 30k Subscribers, you most be so happy, you have just shot up constantly in the ratings since vlog one.
Ok re Chez Fred, i must admit as soon as i saw the place and the food i thought oh we have a ten here, but like i said before us watchers don't have taste vision, so i support your 9 score 100% due to the peas and chips, but i must admit for the price i was very impressed indeed.
Re condiments i think British law says you must have mushy pes with fish and chips, but i love tartar so much i really do.
Chris.
Cheers Chris. I feel to hit a 10 now on the channel, everything has to be spot on. Peas and chips were good but not great... the rest was excellent.
Thank you mate and all the best.
You are not obliged by law to have mushy peas. It is a northern thing, like Greggs, that is advancing down south like crabs on Christmas Island, during the mating season. Mushy peas laced with Sarsons' vinegar, spiced with some chili, is great with your fish n" chips. I, like you, prefer sauce tartar, or even Belgian mayo on mine.
Such a good review. Number 1 food RUclips channel. Keep it that way
Thank you AJ. Very kind!
Another wonderful review. Good size cod. Three condiments, pot of tea. Spot on rating. Truly enjoyable channel. Blessings from Texas,USA. 👍😊❤. P.s., cod is my favorite fish. 😊😊
Thank you kindly and good choice
