Merzbow Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 Doesn't the museum itself have a chippy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's two (the food is identical at both) and weirdly the one on the main street by the Bottle & Glass pub is always quieter than the one at the top, the bigger one that they filmed in for Stan and Ollie. That always has a huge queue by 12 o'clock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Be ready to get annoyed by stupidly expensive chips but I actually like this old posh lad, he's far less of a snob than his accent would have you think and tries food from all price ranges and even fell in love with the Greggs vegan range.

Paid Members Boycie Posted July 10 Paid Members Share Posted July 10 That's probably my favourite YouTube channel at the moment. He's very down to earth and unpretentious, I'd really like to try some of the restaurants/cafes he's reviewed (most of them are in or around London if anyone's interested). Seeing him try to manage a phall is good for a laugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members SpiritOfTheForest Posted July 10 Paid Members Share Posted July 10 I've also been greatly enjoying Gary Eats lately - came up on my recommended videos and haven't stopped watching since. A very affable chap who makes very watchable videos and actually seems like a real person unlike, say, Rate My Takeaway who seems far more of an act. Actually find Gary's videos quite relaxing even having on in the background. Glad to see others know about him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cousin Jim Bob Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 (edited) He popped up in my recommends a few times too and I enjoyed them. He does seem down to earth and likeable. I think the first review of his I saw was a Wimpy and he gave it fair review. On the other hand I fucking hate Rate My Takeaway. I blame Covid for his success.

Paid Members air_raid Posted July 14 Paid Members Share Posted July 14 (edited) I was at the family home yesterday, for (among other reasons) collecting Silver Vision tapes for our herbie, and that meant as ever a trip to Kings. Mother and partner had their usual mixed chicken/chicken tikka kebab meat with hot chilli and garlic mayo, bag of mixed chips for each couple. Mrs raid wanted a fish, and decided to go as ever for haddock, which it hadn’t crossed my mind would be available so instead of augmenting the order with curry sauce and a battered sausage as planned, last moment I threw on the “Kings Special” - mini cod, small sausage and chips with curry sauce, which I’ve been having since the days it cost a mere £1.60 (!). Plus on impulse a scallop because Mrs raid had never tried one - and gentle reader, this time it’s the truth, not a repeat of the battered sausage fiasco. Nearly everything was excellent as always, except the scallop must have been sat out long because the underside batter had gone tough and chewy. Mrs raid insisted the cod was drier than the haddock but I’m still happy I had it…. really enjoyed my special. Sausages always taste the same and I’m convinced my school used to buy the same, and prices may have gone up but it was generous for a “mini cod.” £28 something for food for 4 that could have fed 6. EDIT - we’ve got the Old Age In-laws coming in a few weeks, with both a week in Cornwall AND two nights in Paignton booked - hoping for a trip to either Rockfish in Brixham or Saltwater in Torquay.

Paid Members Jazzy G Posted July 17 Paid Members Share Posted July 17 (edited) On our way back from Morrison's at Scarborough on Monday might we just managed to catch a chippy before they closed. They ou had chips left, but they were delish. Cooked in beef dripping as well. They were reet gradely, as I believe the locals say.
