I have to say that looked awful for the price you paid. 👎
The things you do for this channel, mate. That too-ing and fro-ing up and down those steps and slopes had me in stitches. Get that bloody drone sorted Lee! Lol Great review as always. 😀
Absolutely made my day! Me and my husband couldn’t stop laughing at you getting down and back up the hill! Hope you’re ok and brilliant video 😂❤️
Lol. 😂 Thanks Jenny. Have a fabulous Christmas. x
@@TheMacMaster you too x have a lovely Christmas xxxx
Thanks Lee love your videos 😊
Omg the added sound of the heartbeat lol brilliant 😁
What a fantastic video. Keep up the good work. I do agree with you about the fish and chips 100%, but another great review.
Bit easier to walk down the road just before the cliff railway, the one you walked past to get onto that path. 🤣 Spot on review by the way.
Sounds like frozen thawed fillet rather than super fresh
Thanks for the video. Great scenery where you are in this video. Looks like a great Fish and Chips dinner for you. Your Chips are what we call "Fries" here in the US. When we say Chips here in the US, we think of having thin Crispy salty Potato Chips.
take care.
damn shame rge Funicular wasn't working, loved the one in Scarboro years ago before my stroke, great things saved a couple of quid but that view was amazing, great video as always, have a cracking Christmas to you and your family
When I lived down in Devon my favourite fish & chips place was the Start Bay Inn.
It's a pub that serves fish & chips caught just outside in the bay.
That’s a great place for fresh fish and chips…love Torcross😎👍
Do they still do the jumbo Cod & chips? About 8 years ago I went in there and the thing was huge, served on a big platter plate & still overhung off the edge of that!
Ah Torquay. The town itself is pretty run down nowadays. You should try Krispies in Exmouth - they do battered chips, amazing!
In one of these videos didn't a chef/restaurant owner tell you that they cook the fish with the skin on because it holds the fish together. Here you have a fish cooked without the skin and you say it is too "floppy".
Jeez! That was some Trek Lee lol! You did well getting back up. Loved going to Torquay with my family as a child. It looked ok but definitely would say you've had better. 🥰🌞🥰xxx
I was waiting for a sea gull to swoop in every time you held your food up to the camera 😁 Maybe they thought as you did about the food
Hello Lee. Fun fact there is a town in Kenya named Nanyuki Similar Pronunciation as Newquay where the British Army Barracks is located.
Very impressed with the Wallgate Chippy in Wigan when I went today - fresh Haddock, No Skin, really nice batter
Great Video as always..
Thank you. 🕶️
That blog in Babbacome was absolutely hilarious!!! So funny 😂🤣keep up the good work love watching u great guy !! Alison/John Manchester xxx🏃♂️
If you'd taken the footpath route under the cliff railway you'd have got to beach!
Still fun anyway.
Great entertaining video.
Cheers
Phil
LOL. You should try the coastal path from Sidmouth to Beer...at the end, get a beer at the pub then fish and chips in the high street. The walk certainly gives you an appetite!
Always had amazing fish and chips from Hanburys , it is popular with locals as you still have to queue even out of season.
Hi Lee, have you ever thought of doing some city breaks type vlogs? I think it'd be great. Places like Rome, Prague ect. Maybe you could bring darren john, Jeff Carter or the cracmaster along aswell. That would be class 👏 looking forward to seeing, hopefully your australia blogs 🤞👍
I walked it once! Never again . Wait until the Devon cliff railway is open 😂 ( I live up the road)
Was there in 2010 and the cod was thick and tasted brill. There are two fish n chip shops just a few streets from each other and one did thick chips the other thin.
It’s very Fresh Today can’t wait flying out to Tenerife on Wednesday for a few nights 🌞
@Visit Cornwall With Me. I know🤞 the sun comes out 😄
I’m having a Hanbury for dinner 😮
Great vlog Lee.. all those steps was like Laurel and Hardy's The Music Box after all the struggle someone says why didnt you just go that way lol .
The batter on the fish looked like that flat coated batter if you know what l mean not bubbly with crispy bits which is much better .
You should of taken the right turn under the railway bridge, would of brought you out at the bottom of the Oddicombe Hill. Easy when you're local !
I've eaten at Hanburys several times over the years. The building next door used to be their restaurant, which we ate in and the fish & chips back then were exceptional! Tbf, I felt yours looked nice!
Babbacambe (which, btw, is pretty much a suburb of North Torquay!) is lovely though! Last year, my wife & I went to the Babbacombe Theatre where they do a traditional seaside variety show!
Did gasp when I saw your intent to walk down to Oddidcombe Beach though! We spent an afternoon down there once and, yes, we used the railway in both directions! The Model Village is also well worth a look!
Lee,that’s the best video you’ve ever done..
I was chuckling when you were climbing them steps and said “it feels like you’re walking to Newquay😂😂
You’re a character mate..
Absolutely brilliant 👌🏻
Lol. 😂 Thanks Liam. I certainly got my steps in that day. 😂
'What a knob!' 😂👍
She overcharged you 15p for your Diet Coke as well. Menu says £1.55 for Coca Cola and £1.40 for Diet.
Maybe that means that Coke is naturally made with aspartame, and it costs them extra to remove the aspartame and replace it with high fructose corn syrup?
Hi, great vlogs and many thanks ,but thought you may like to check out the whetherby whaler in Wakefield , Leeds Rd, an absolute gem ,was once an old cinema, then a chippy ,but now its a restaurant and wait for it .......a drive through however its the inside that maybe of interest to you, been several times and the food as always been good and the staff are brilliant too, cheers m8 merry Christmas 🎅.
I have not been in the U.K since 2016 but the prices seem to have shot up. 10.75p for fish and chips !
I thought the 7.80p included the chips and thought that was expensive.
Rip Off for a small thin wet bit of fish… Sign of the times
Several years ago walked down to the beach with the family for a picnic. Took a different route down, got lost but and eventually intersected with the train tracks. Had a picnic on the beach with family. Took the train back up. No way was I walking back the way I had come. Great video BTW.
Companies need to make a profit.Depends on whether they own property or lease and the amount of weekly customers they serve. Have noticed over the last few years fish and chips seem to be closing earlier
thanks Lee.lost my partner 3 years ago,we used go Brixham but always visited Torquay,and we also visited babbacombe loads of times.solid 8from me.
Hanbury's is good, but expensive because it's relatively well known. Literally every other chippy on that main road is identical and all are cheaper. Drake's (if it's still open) was the go to, couple of doors down. Sadly a lot of the decent places in Torbay have all raised up to the same high prices with their costs going up. But as long as it's a dedicated chip shop (and not a bolt on part in another menu) the competition generally means you'll be having a good meal. Expect £7-10 a head as an average.
Should visit the restaurant on the seafront at the bottom. Three degrees west in oddicombe.
I’d love your take on fish and chips from a Dobbies garden centre. That would be an interesting video to say the least. 😊
My favs are Drakes in Babbacombe. London Fryer in Preston. Scoffs in Paignton. Pauls Place in Barton. Also Anchors Rest at Paignton Harbour do fab chips. (open summer only).
Rockfish for me when in that area Lee. The curried mushys are top notch. Have you tried Chez Fred in Bournemouth?
Hello Lee you are funny getting mixed up where you are lol 😂
I agree with johncrankyable, below. It likely frozen fish and the raw batter is probably too runny.
Defrosted fish needs wringing out :) a bit, otherwise the water throws the batter off the fish.
Good video, apart from showing off... running :) I doubt my knees could cope!
great to see you in the south west,
Best F&C were in the 1960s cooked in dripping and wrapped in news paper to keep warm. These oils they now use give an inferior result. The Sunflower oil they mention is unhealthy. Any 'vegetable oils' are highly processed and heat processed to make seed oil look palatable, but our digestion systems are not designed to digest them. Animal fats like dripping and lard are good for us as we have been eating same for thousands of years. Government sources lie. I remember when they said margarine was healthier than butter. Total nonsense. So they don't taste the same now. In the 1960s, Fish was 1/- (5 new pence) and chips 6d (2.5 new pence). 1/6d total. A pint of best bitter was 2/6d. Can you imagine, gorgeous F&C were CHEAPER than a pint of beer. Why are modern F&C so expensive? So there you have it, They are not as nice now, less healthy, get cold quicker and much more expensive. That's why we don't bother with F&C now. Such a shame, F&C used to be gorgeous and cheap.
Could be the way it was filmed but that didn’t look like the biggest piece of fish nor a huge quantity of chips.
Try this cod marinated in tikka sauce for 48 hours. Home cut fries triple cooked in beef drippings. Mushy pea pie and homemade tartar sauce . yummy 😋
Visited that chippy in summer 21. Was decent from memory, I expect the busy trade may have helped ensure fresh grub. Also, that walk is a tiring one!
Hey Roy!!!
Hiya Lee. If you don’t mind me asking, what’s the song from when you’re climbing up the stairs?. Quite a little toe tapper that! Bet you’re buggered after that climb!
Lol. 😂 I can't remember. It should Shazam.
Chips looked good!! I know some people like a very light batter but I'm with the Macmaster I like a more substantial batter...not fatty but thickish and crispy!
You should go to Parkgate on the Wirral, amazing ice cream and a lovely view across the Dee.
You should try the food at the Duke of Cambrdige Pub run by an ex Notts County player David Smith in ivybridge Devon.
Calm down macmaster, glad you didn't head down to the beach 😳. Enough cardiovascular exercise for the day 😂. Torquay, sure glad you didn't end up in Turkey! Fabulosa vlog, as always. Wow what a beautiful view to eat lunch, curry sauce looks more like a thick gravy.
I did see something online that some of the fish and chip shops have been buying cat fish in as its cheaper and passing it off as cod fish makes ya wonder if this is true or not
Hahahaha your so funny,I'm thinking your not in Torquay.. nearly though 😂xx
I noticed at 9:37, you passed a Defribulator station, good job it was there in case you needed it !!!!!
Should followed the hill down Lee! Saw that coming 👀
It may not be cod...some restaurants substitute cod for similar tasting fish...cod supplies are very low of late....
Well done the MAC very entertaining. We had a great holiday in the English Rivera and had those famous fish and chips
Hambury's in Babbacombe Torquay is usually the best fish and chips in Devon. It was even better when the restaurant was open. Dover Sole and sweet potato chips was to die for. It is expensive though. The other best one is Franks Frying in Dawlish Devon and they came down from the Midlands, the batter is amazing.
You wanted to give a positive review, respect for being honest. £15 is a piss take.
when having fish and chips open the box it steams the food not good but you make me laugh so funnny your heart rate lol
Few days ago you were at Tower Fisheries …. Now THAT was a good Chippy
£2.80 for peas and sauce? 😲. when I were a lad I used to go out on a Friday night and then have fish and chips, all for under a fiver.
Hey lee when u got lost walking down what a view looking out too the sea wow time you find you would have lost a stone walking lol 😊..... Fish and chips look delicious mate I say 7 ...... While your down there try a Cornish pasties best ever down there you won't go wrong 💯😊
The sea gulls had a look but must of not fancied them after all they must get a better idea of the local chippys around Torquay or even Newquay 😊😂
Found a better one. 👍🏼 6.15pm today. 😀
Man that inhale, "it's really nice.. *cough cough cough*" I am sure there wasn't smog or anything just the cold air, but that is like a joke out of a 1980s New York, or Victorian London movie
Lovely views; haven't been to Babbacombe some years. PLEASE try Chez Fred, Westbourne, Bournemouth. Told you many times before, Lee! Best fish 🐠n chips in UK (probably). Get there early!😊
I agree! Chez Fred are really good! Go try them Lee!! @themacmaster
I agree, amazing fish and chips. You might have to queue, even if you're going to eat inside.
You must try the hillfeild farm carvery in solihull and they do a all
Day breakfast weekdays it’s such good value
I gave it a 7.9 I can only have imagined that the gulls did not complain about the fish. Haha!
Newquay - Torquay sounds the same ????? That’s like saying Lancashire is almost like Yorkshire ?!!!! 😂😂😂
U get thinner fillets in Scotland. But most chippys here give u 2 as it’s a supper.
lol this got to be the funniest video of you going up them steps ive ever seen i was in bits laughing so funny, Love you man your so funny.
Lol. 😂 Thank you.
5/10 from me Lee. Also just wanted to share this story with you. Last week a mate of mine gave me a lobster to try. He told me to get a large saucepan with water and wait until it was on a rolling boil and place the lobster in the pot and put the lid on and give it about 8 minutes. Anyway I put a timer on and went to watch one of your videos but within minutes I heard a noise coming from the Kitchen so I went to see what it was. When I peaked around the corner all I saw was the lid of the saucepan moving and then a huge lobster claw coming out of the pot and to my surprise turning off the gas. Oh and the pink custard that you've mentioned before from your school dinner days wasn't custard at all. My Sister was a dinner lady back in the day and she said that it was blancmange that they didn't allow to set by keeping it warm. Just a quick question, are you eating out Christmas day or are you at home and what's your preference meat wise on the day. Hope you didn't mind little tongue in cheek joke, take care buddy.
Lovely little town whether Babbicombe or Torquay however the let down was the fish & chips. Maybe it wasn’t cod Lee but Pollock like many fish shops are doing now. Those steps would get your heart beat racing and work off some calories before the fish & chips. Realistic score for that Lee👍
Did u finish it
They don't look too bad Lee, n when you asked about the scones I do jam then cream don't no if its the Cornwall or Devon way lol 😆 Xxx
Looks like you were practicing for the new rocky movie up those steps 🏃♂️ think my better half has been giving you directions lee 😉 looked lightly battered that fish. Babbacombe looks a beautiful place in winter to visit .
you should try the fish and chips at the cricket inn in beesands near torquay
@5:09 almost looked like it was from a "found footage" horror movie...
Oh dear Lee, you should have Google mapped it! 😆 That's a good price on the lager as long as it tastes good!! Bottom feeder cod that was only made popular due to advertising as there were shortages with other fish 😉 Over £15, ouch!! Batter doesn't look as crispy as others, small chips for the price, but do look good. Mushy peas, yucky colour, a bit pale. But the curry sauce looks brilliant!! Looks like Irish curry sauce that should be spicier than normal, nice and thick! With the price and fish into consideration along with the batter, peas and smaller chips, I'd go 7.6/10, not mind blowing, but better than good enough!
I think that fish is FAS (frozen at sea) chippy's use it because its cheaper than fresh.
I reckon most fish and chip shops cut there fish in half so they get 2 pieces out of one then charge extortionate prices just my opinion though thanks for sharing Lee I would give this a 3.5 😊
We visited Torquay for a day about 10 or so years ago when we were staying in Brixham. To be honest, the fish and chips were not really all that great. They were much nicer in Brixham itself which is actually a fish town (there was a documentary on sky a few years back of the town).
As for your fish and chips here, I thought they looked ok. Bit pricey for the amount you get but still decent enough. Maybe they were soggy in parts as the lady may have gone a bit overboard on the vinegar possibly?
As for the cod being thin, I’m finding the same thing more and more nowadays sadly. Cod is meant to be thick and chunky. I find you get more with haddock so I tend to opt for that nowadays. Maybe you should have gone to Fawlty Towers whilst you were there!! Basil might have served you up a better fish🤣😂🤣😂.
Great video mate and a fair score. I’ll go 7.5/10 on this one. Seen better, seen worse. Cheers Lee👍
Always thought hansburys was over priced saltwater fish bar was my preference in Torquay 👍
They didnt charge for salt and vinegar did they?
Should have took the road ‘ right next to the railway 😂
It looked like it was about half the size of the fish you had at Murgatroyds in Leeds the other day. It looked very greasy, I think your score was generous especially based on the price.
It's in torbay if I'm correct. I visit every year
I was waiting on the vulture to attack.
Hi Lee! Blimey the signs on that path wee something to be desired! Terrible trying to get to the beach on foot under tree roots and under raiilaay tracks. And as for the food, Question - was that a the lunch time special -small fish and chips? I saw it was £7:75. Can understand if it was as there was a definite lack of chips and thin fish. But £15 for that along with curry sauce that looks like gravy. It’s expensive and would add up if you and Sarah plus kids went too. Take care 😘👍🏻
Newquay is the North Coast of Cornwall or West Coast of Wales, u were right ur clueless lol.
Anyway great vid Lee, u really went the extra mile down those steps, at least u got back I'd still be half-way up lol. Perhaps the fish and chips were soggy owing to the steam building up in the box. I'm with u, 6.5 from me.
You don't have to come from Ilkley Moor [baht 'at] to know that was daylight robbery.
Love Torquay, love Babbacombe, love Paignton, adore Brixham, but never had decent fish and chips from a chippy!
You should try Rio’s in Brixham Devon there amazing
go to Mary Janes in Cromer, last time I went the Cod had massive Bones
That meal couldn't have been that bad, I saw that Seagull was waiting to snatch your dinner...
