I worked in South Shields for 15 years and fish and chips from Coleman's on the sea front when the rain and wind was battering you just felt right. I live down south now and seeing this has made my day.
Tell Rich I got his ‘battered by the storm’ pun regarding the Temple! I have at times compared your reactions to food as mine to live music (I’ve been to around 2000 gigs in my life so far), and it’s the rare moments like that which just leave you bewildered, astonished and ridiculously happy! And it’s the back story of the brothers, the venue, the view, the champagne and oysters, the sharing with friends which make it that much more special. Bravo Colmans and to you guys for sharing the experience!
The dominant outfit in the fish and chip game - this guy is hilariously brilliant. So many rubbish food review channels but this is one of the best , funny , entertaining, tongue in cheek and honest reviews. Loving the sea food temple ! Great channel well done mate
The North East sea breeze is something special when paired with quality food and you won’t find a nicer welcome, I’m biased ok but I’m also not wrong and come try it or actually venture further north to north Northumberland and experience a beautiful coast with stunning food. Try somewhere like the jolly fisherman and experience Northumberland and the north east like never before.
Wow, what an establishment. These guys deserve every success, they obviously work hard and are so passionate about what they do. I'm so pleased places like this exist and I love that there are high end restaurants outside London, just imagine what you would have to pay for food and drink like this in London.
I’ve lived in sunderland for over 26 years and had Downey’s on numerous occasions but never tried Coleman’s. Me and the wife have agreed it is going to be our first date of the new year. Thanks for shining a light in our beautiful area of the UK Matt. Spot on reviews. 👌
Great content and review guys. Team effort on that one for sure. Richard got his "I think its a 10 for me", but Matt I didn't hear the 10. "Best ever" and "the standard" which is an accolade but your points out of 10 is always imperative. Thanks guys, really enjoyed that review, it looks like a lovely restaurant & bar.
Im lucky to live near here. The seafood temple is great! Beutiful inside, great food and a real asset to the coastline. Its a shame you didnt tour the building a little more. It has some amazing views and the building is shaped to look like a boat going out to sea. The pillars mentioned were one Ghandis Temple. A band stand with public toilets underneath. It was a bit of an eyesore and always smelled. Colemans turned it into a truly beautiful area.
Something has always put me off these bigger more commercial fish n chip shops. Safe to say that will be going out the window after watching this video. Will definitely be checking this place out 🎣
Colemans is a family concern. Ramsdens, I would have considered a commercial concern. Colemans is in a completely different league, and highly recommended.
does look really good, obviously the quality of the ingredients makes a huge difference . You wouldnt do a batter that light if the fish not really good quality and the potatoes probably sourced from farmer or at least fresh and not kept in a cold store for 6 months. All these things make a huge difference and if you have the luxury of being busy and plenty of storage then you can source well in bulk which keeps quality up and costs down for customer. As they've said 5th generation, cant achieve this over night but im pleased for them that theyve worked hard and have a legacy to show for it. Gives others hope.
Omg I’ve never tried this place & after your review we are going & can’t wait . Looks amazing. We are so lucky to live in Newcastle . Glad your having the best time 👍🏼
Seafood temple indeed, looks like fish and chip heaven, what a view. I can't stomach oysters but the fish and chips look amazing! Im deffo giving this place a visit.
I live in peterborough, I used to travel once a month to work in south shields area and always made a point of eating colmans fish and chips- amazing and home made tartare sauce to die for, however the branch in ocean road in the town centre is better than the temple that u visited- in my opinion.
After watching this review I've been to Colman's five times now. Their fish and chips is amazing, but the real star of the show is their home made raspberry lemonade. You have to come back just to try that on its own!
New subscriber! We used to have a high end fish restaurant. We had boats in our company that fished for us and when they couldn’t get any we had fish sent up overnight from Brixham. To find a fish restaurant in the U.K. that sells “ genuine “ fresh fish is incredibly rare. 75% will use frozen blocks of white fish. Our batter was made out of Welsh honey , Welsh vodka and Welsh beer and chips to die for obviously 😂 ( restaurant was in Cardiff). I live in Edinburgh now & after your video I will definitely visit Colemans 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇬🇧🇬🇧
I’ve never had a bad meal, bad conversation, or bad time at Coleman’s… the place just puts a smile on my face, and good food in my stomach. Everything is just perfect, exactly how you crave it to be when you’ve not had fish and chips for a while… Might go to the beach tomorrow now 😂
There is not many day boats who land fish every day because the local market in Ireland / uk isn’t there unfortunately. Not enough people eating fish 😢
Comments don't matter. But people from around the world see this . Gives people exposure to international tourism . People who want venture off the beaten track
This place has, by far, the best fish and chips I've ever experienced. The oysters are also unbelievable. Atmosphere is always on point. Very lucky to have this chippy less than 10miles from where I live. If you're local and haven't tried it you need your head examined.
Love the seafood platter and oysters here. Also the seafood curry is unreal 👌. For fish and chips waterfront in North Shields is arguably my favourite. A little gem.
Matt I've been watching your channel for a few years, and I have to say the dynamic team you’ve built with Rich, Terry and co makes for the best content I've seen. Your channel is superb. This was my favourite episode and the fish and chips looked incredible.
I have been going to Colmans shop on Ocean rd for 45 years , simply outstanding fish and chips and always have been, never been in the Temple as yet though
Looks a thoroughly deserved 10 to me, the restaurant looked on point, the two brothers clearly have a passion for what they do & it shone through in the food….. the soufflé looked incredible, the oysters looked fresh & perfectly presented, the fish, chips & sides looked as good as I’ve ever seen. That’s what good food is all about, being delivered in a way that makes you smile & happy to pay at the end of your meal 👌
Getting to really love this Channel, you guy's give you "Honest" opinion on all the food you try and explain your "True" feelings on the presentation & taste of the food in a way we can ALL understand, unlike the "Ponsey" food critics out there . Well done Boy's 👍👍👍👍
Enjoyed every min of this one! love where the channels going been watching for years. Can only dream about what that fish is like as they all horse s*** around here. Might just have to make that journey one day :)
How do they get the shards in the fish batter that go upwards? It's so light and crispy. Also 11 pound takeaway isn't that bad considering the local chippy is cheaper but gradually in recent years it seems to be going up in price and the quality seems to be getting worse. I would rather pay an extra couple of quid for the real deal. Looked amazing! Cheers for the video.
Love the content mate been following you from the very start! As a proud Scotsman eating fish&chips (Haddock) all my life this place looks top tier but still not on the level of Anstruther, or the Ashvale chippy Aberdeen. Looks a bit more restaurant than takeaway concept. Also the fishmarket in Newhaven and the fish works in Largs. Come up and do more takeaways in Scotland plz, keep it up guys great viewing😎💥
No bullshit just good honest reviews from decent down to earth guys. Keep going, what better way to earn a living doing what u love. Positive energy is inspiring. Really want to taste that cod 😂
Went here the other day! It was alright tbh but I was a little disappointed I was expecting absolutely beautiful fish and chips and what I got was just above average. I still think Murgatroyds is still much much better!
I live 5 minutes away from Colmans. We've had family fish and chips from them for 5 generations now which unfortunately means I cant eat fish and chips anywhere else we go because nothing compares!
Looked great but it’s not a takeaway which in a box would have steamed up and changed the food so not a review like other ones just a point there guys 😉
I think Rich is a gentleman, very polite, and at least matt is'nt mouthing off "wank bank" in front of an elderly couple on this review, maybe Rich you should go out on your own doing reviews, and p.s invest in a few new hoodies..😂
How fish and chips should be unlike a lot of the pretenders out there. Quality fish,batter and potatoes and the know how makes a huge difference to taste.
Immense place, and just up the coast from me in Roker. Usure whether to make the trip? Then read Jay Rayner’s visit review in the Guardian online. 5 ⭐️’s.
Wow I read a revue by Jay Raynor in the Guardian a few weeks ago do I knew Colmans would be mustard !, love that sort of food and treat my body as a temple , unfortunately like most surging temples it’s like an old ruin .

I eat here often, Richy and Dom have the place running unbelievably, the king prawn tacos are something else. Great review. Nice one lads!

I pay £13 for fish n chips near me (Dagenham) and its not a patch on this so take away for £11 is great value looked awesome
Wow, what an establishment. These guys deserve every success, they obviously work hard and are so passionate about what they do. I'm so pleased places like this exist and I love that there are high end restaurants outside London, just imagine what you would have to pay for food and drink like this in London.
Great review - genuine, relevant and authentic. The fish and chips looked pretty good too!
Thank you!!!
New subscriber here - now that was a real fish and chip restaurant.
That fish was something else!
The locals are very lucky people.
Welcome to the family.
So true.we are x

It was beyond a 10… new scale. Really incredible ❤

That shop was featured on a BBC programme Tom Kerridge did recently.
good spot, i watched that as well :)@@kingsleythomas5443
that looked phenomenal... just so perfect and the day boat fish, so gloriously white and fresh.. the batter looked just like waves to me...
Genuinely stunning
Great review mate! Thanks for listening to suggestion! Knew it wouldn't let you's down 🤙
No problem 👍
One of the best reviews I’ve seen in a while, what a classy place to go to real fish and chips ,and with that extra touch.👏👏👏👏👏😘❤️🤩🤩🤩🤩🙏🏼🙏🏼
If i didn't live as far away as Norfolk i'd eat there every week , i'll have to venture up there one day , looked absolutely glorious.

LOVE Thackers on the page. Hes fantastic
Too kind sir
Better than Anstruther! Didn't think I'd see the day.
Yep 😊
Love Richard, proper hanger on for some free grub, can't knock the hustle of this lad
I’ve never had a bad meal, bad conversation, or bad time at Coleman’s… the place just puts a smile on my face, and good food in my stomach.

There is not many day boats who land fish every day because the local market in Ireland / uk isn’t there unfortunately. Not enough people eating fish 😢
Theres also not a lot of fish, the trawlers have them before the day guys can get to them usually.
This is definitely the best chip shop in the UK great content again Matt best review channel on UA-cam closely followed by Gary Eats.
Wow, thanks!
I live up here and can't believe it took you this long to try it.
Their Orginal shop on Ocean Rd has had many celebrities in there.
Comments don't matter. But people from around the world see this . Gives people exposure to international tourism . People who want venture off the beaten track

Another fantastic video, they were the best looking fish n chips, I just wish someone could invent smelevision
You and me both!

The best in the UK barnone 10 out of 10 every time.
I have been going to Colmans shop on Ocean rd for 45 years , simply outstanding fish and chips and always have been, never been in the Temple as yet though
Never been to the temple but I've had it from the chippy on ocean road and it was unreal
Wow looks Fab !! Great review thanks .............. will have to go and love the look of the oysters , shame I am on the South Coast Bonny Lad !!
I've had the seafood platter there before. Best place I've ever had one
GAME OVER!!! Best place in the world Coleman’s of South Shields for fish & chips. 🙌🏻
I told you it was good, I live 7 minutes away up past the crown pub on the roundabout, it's always great food
Looks a thoroughly deserved 10 to me, the restaurant looked on point, the two brothers clearly have a passion for what they do & it shone through in the food….. the soufflé looked incredible, the oysters looked fresh & perfectly presented, the fish, chips & sides looked as good as I’ve ever seen.
That’s what good food is all about, being delivered in a way that makes you smile & happy to pay at the end of your meal 👌
The brothers that run this place are class acts! It really is a great place!
I live local and always get my fish and chips from Colemans on ocean road.Tried others but these are the best in my opinion!
Greenlane and frydays beat these hands down
A go underneath the temple to the takeaway bit large cod and chips with gravy unreal best about never be beat good review👌🏻
Coleman's is class great vid they know what they doing 👍
Getting to really love this Channel, you guy's give you "Honest" opinion on all the food you try and explain your "True" feelings on the presentation & taste of the food in a way we can ALL understand, unlike the "Ponsey" food critics out there . Well done Boy's 👍👍👍👍
When you dipped the chip in the curry and the sheer delight on your face should of tried the mushy pea frittas there unreal
I’ve lived about 3 minutes away and have had the pleasure to eat these for 42 years ❤
Enjoyed every min of this one! love where the channels going been watching for years. Can only dream about what that fish is like as they all horse s*** around here. Might just have to make that journey one day :)
Omg I only live up the road from here and I've never been. Must go asap.
Never thought I would see Ollie Reed enjoy eating fish n chips. I was entertained.
You deserve millions of followers
How do they get the shards in the fish batter that go upwards? It's so light and crispy. Also 11 pound takeaway isn't that bad considering the local chippy is cheaper but gradually in recent years it seems to be going up in price and the quality seems to be getting worse.

This place is about 10 minutes walk from my house. Smith’s chippy on ocean road also totally rule 👍

Looks a bit more restaurant than takeaway concept. Also the fishmarket in Newhaven and the fish works in Largs. Come up and do more takeaways in Scotland plz, keep it up guys great viewing😎💥
The take away is directly downstairs to where they are filming. The quality and taste is equal to what is served upstairs
No bullshit just good honest reviews from decent down to earth guys. Keep going, what better way to earn a living doing what u love. Positive energy is inspiring. Really want to taste that cod 😂
Perfect, colour of the fish and chips , just the way I like them. Be nice with a few bits or scraps as some people call them 😜😛😋👍🏼👍🏼
Im local and a fun fact that restaurant used to be the public toilets for people visiting the beach it only got changed a few years ago
Went here the other day! It was alright tbh but I was a little disappointed I was expecting absolutely beautiful fish and chips and what I got was just above average. I still think Murgatroyds is still much much better!
I live 5 minutes away from Colmans. We've had family fish and chips from them for 5 generations now which unfortunately means I cant eat fish and chips anywhere else we go because nothing compares!
You need to try Terry's chippy in Bolton (324 Crompton Way, Bolton BL2 2NE) Their fish is so nice, and MASSIVE!
It would be fun to see you out with Al Murray.
Do behind the scenes Matt with boats n fish quays, be soo cool
Tried my first oyster this year and I can say I'm now an oyster man
Were you 'very, very drunk'?
@@DanielGreen07 LOL
Great video had my full attention was like watching a documentary. Ur a great host and il defo watch more ❤ from.belfast
"The Frying Scotsman"- chippy in Musselburgh, just outside edinburgh, has got to be up there as far as best named chippies goes...
Big Fan brother from Toronto Canada love your show so much ,you should come to Toronto and Montreal to review ❤
clean looking food
Salt first vinegar washes it down to coat
I've been here and it's lovely
I’m a local lad and without doubt the best fish and chips mushy peas and curry sauce in the uk
Great review!
They do have a fish n chip takeaway on the shields road but the Indian curry smells drag u into theirs lol
The temple is better than the takeaway
Coleman’s and Longsands are the two best chippys in the north east. Quality gear
wow this place looks amazing! wish it was near Essex!
Mat you keep getting better top work
If you think Colemans is good you need to try the Harbour View in Seaton Sluice, best ever fish and chips and I've been to Colmans
Great chippy. Very very good. However not a patch on Colmans.
Don’t be silly, these are a different league to Harbour View and I live in the Sluice!
Up the Sandies! King of the Fish and Chips lads!
I’ve eaten there, it was ok, certainly not bad but certainly not outstanding.
On the visit list
Looked great but it’s not a takeaway which in a box would have steamed up and changed the food so not a review like other ones just a point there guys 😉
I have the box open usually but I do agree. This was just electric
I am definitely going there I love my fish and chips ❤
Its crazy how a little old lady’s restaurant suggestion beat out all the social genius recommendations of social media #oldpeopleknowstuffgood
I think Rich is a gentleman, very polite, and at least matt is'nt mouthing off "wank bank" in front of an elderly couple on this review, maybe Rich you should go out on your own doing reviews, and p.s invest in a few new hoodies..😂
haha! We filmed all these reviews on the same day! 😂
@@wingfest6937 😂😂😂
Good review guys but how does it pay for 4 of you?
I live a stones throw away and yes it is a nice fish n chips👍
How fish and chips should be unlike a lot of the pretenders out there. Quality fish,batter and potatoes and the know how makes a huge difference to taste.
Get the fish platter well worth itb
Fab, careful Mr Richard #wrekinhavoc for your tuneage 😅
The keep saying they've never seen a fish and chip shop like this is obviously a restaurant and the fish.And chip shop is down the road 😅😅😅
Been many times with the wife. You lads need to go back and get the seafood sharer it's incredible
Fkg great lads ,am in there a couple of times a mounth & it really is the dogs bollocks👍👍👍
i think Matt was saying a 10.............lol
😂😂😂
Where is it located?
its on the north east coast of england, south shields, near sunderland, 30 mins from newcastle, 4 hours from london lol
Immense place, and just up the coast from me in Roker.
Usure whether to make the trip? Then read Jay Rayner’s visit review in the Guardian online.
5 ⭐️’s.
Went on Saturday last, i can only give it 7 out of 10 at the most, nothing special and wont be rushing back
Wow I read a revue by Jay Raynor in the Guardian a few weeks ago do I knew Colmans would be mustard !, love that sort of food and treat my body as a temple , unfortunately like most surging temples it’s like an old ruin .
