Awwh, thanks for this one. We went for my husbands 70th Birthday in 2019. James Martin was there and came over and chatted , he is so lovely and not a bit'starry', just a down to earth lad. When the bill arrived, he'd paid for our , not cheap wine. My Husband died in 2021. A very important memory for me, so I thank you again.
What a lovely story, and as you said, a wonderful memory. X
Wow what a wonderful memory Lauren. I’m so sorry to hear about your loss but please take care of yourself.
❤❤
Glad you enjoyed your visit and experience of both the restaurant and its chef/owner Lauren. I'm very sorry to hear of your loss. Thank you for sharing your special memories.
Every best wish x
God Bless you.
The most honest, respectable, likeable and down to earth chap on UA-cam. Gary makes the world go around. Be more like Gary
Thank you very much. You are very kind Joshua
Fantastic review Gary, honest as always and a throughly nice chap.Love it, and look forward to many more of your reviews 👍
It’s funny he’s just so lovable 🤗 I totally agree 😊
Totally agree. Top tier, as they say. 💙
he is a good soul.. lovely kind man and a great you tuber🎉🎉🎉
The thing I love about Gary’s reviews s that he knows what he’s talking about but he’s not up his own backside unlike many so called experts! Keep it up Gary, we love it!
That is very kind to say thank you very, very much
Those little flashes of joy that pass over your face say more than words ever could
Thank you, this was fantastic
Glad to see that you were not let down Gary, James stepped up for the celebrities, good job mate.
Thank you Jason and he’s done a very good job
There's nothing nicer than seeing a good and decent person do well, so long may you keep doing what you're doing, Gary, you make the dark days seem brighter.
Thank you so much
Lovely guy and excellent reviewer and such a vast selection of places he reviews. He's my go to for recommendations for sure
How can you not have a smile on your face when one of Gary's videos drop.
Thanks Gary.
😃😃 you are wonderful
I've said this before but, you are the most honest, genuine and relaxed food reviewer I've come across on here.
Fantastic watch 👍
I agree! I've watched every review Gary has done and not one of them has him being anything other than himself. Other reviewers have morphed into their version of a Michelin guide adjudicator, trying to be too complicated and use stupid terminology. Gary says it how it is, and if it isn't up to par, that's what he says!
I know, even my kids know Gary and one only just turned three! He's so unintentionally funny but most importantly he's authentic and fair.
That is a truly wonderful comment to make thank you so very much
Great meeting you in Edinburgh last night Gary outside Deacon Brodies on the Mile. Thanks for stopping to chat with us and you’re just as engaging in real life as you are on your videos. All the best and good luck with the channel . Lee & Debs 👍👍
It was absolutely fantastic to meet you both thank you very much for stopping me and having a lovely chat, I hope you had a safe journey home and I hope to meet you again one day, I will do more vegetarian food, Lee and Debs 🌹🌹❤️
Very lucky to meet the man himself
I can honestly say I have no desire to ever meet any celebrity. But to meet Gary in our local pub would be best day ever!
I'm a fan of the compact menu concept. Especially when the offerings are changed on a weekly/monthly basis. It cuts down on inventory and food wastage and allows the kitchen staff the freedom to be creative and inventive.
Couldn't agree more, gives me confidence the kitchen can cope with room for capacity.
Well said
Yes, my brother is a head chef, he says that compact menus are essential.
Six by Nico is another good one for this. I hope Gary goes to the Manchester branch if he’s not done so yet 😊
Gary's comment section is the nicest group on the internet
Absolutely wonderful I must say
That moment when Gary tries something, hesitates - and then his face lightens up in a radiant smile, and you know; this one is a winner! 🙂 I'll never get tired of your reviews. I love love love your videos.
Thank you so much for saying that, thank you!
I’m so relieved that you enjoyed this Gary. After some of the celebrity places you’ve been to, I was worried you’d be disappointed. James Martin is my favourite chef and I’d have hated for his place to be rubbish. I appreciate it’s very expensive, but I’d pay it for a lovely treat. It would be something to always remember. xxx
He has done a great job Lyndsey xxx
So nice to finally have a celeb chef review thats good. Well done James and team
I've never eaten anywhere decent. My brother and father do. Unfortunately I have a disability where I can't swallow properly. It was diagnosed 2009, so I'm used to it now. But it takes me a long time to eat a meal!
That's why I love watching you. When you are eating, my brain is eating with you. Thank you so much for being you. You're one decent guy, with an excellent taste in food. 😊
I am truly sorry to hear that Helen my thoughts are with you ❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️
Nice to see a celebrity chef who cares about his restaurant and his customers , good to see James !!!
This is a great restaurant that’s for sure Mark
@GaryEats nothing like that in margate 😂
Wasn't having the best day and just finished work to see this, can't wait to watch once home! Nice one, Gary
I’m so sorry about your bad day, let’s hope for better tomorrow
James Martin is in my top 5 favourite chefs when he does his Saturday kitchen live he seems like a real genuine man and doesn't make too much of a fuss. Great review Gary.
As a chef of 25 years, the first 15 being at the high end I can’t tell you how wrong you are.
@charlesbrown4941 Well everyone's entitled to their own opinions
@@charlesbrown4941 I think he's a pompous bell e*d.
@@gemmahandley9394 100%. If you go through some of the comments you will see my opinion isn’t unusual. Anyway, it’s not about JM, It’s about Garry’s reviews.
Thank you. Glad you like him!
Good to see a Yorkshire chef deliver a a delightful dinning experience, thank you for sharing Gary.
Is James Martin from Yorkshire? I don't think I've ever heard him mention it
James done a good job
Wonderful to see you too 🎆
I'm smiling at the red car in the intro. Drives up, sees Gary then reverses, they must know you'll be dashing across the road at any minute 😉
LOL! I didn't notice that. 😅
😂😂 brilliant Rosie and always lovely to see you
'Elegance' perfectly sums up James Martins' restaurant. The inside ambience & layout through to the presentation of each dish. Superb.
Thank you, Robert. I hope you had a wonderful weekend.
Another Fantastic review Gary and Son . Glad you finally found a celebrity restaurant that didn't let you down .
James done a good job, Philip
James Martin's is definitely an occasion restaurant. I think it would make for a very pleasant night on the town, a bit of gambling and a fine meal. I thought the food looked delicious, I personally would order a steak. It is also nice that they offered you a complementary drink for the mistake with the dessert. I am pleased to see that not all celebrity Chef restaurants disappoint. Gary really enjoyed the review.............Cheers.
Well said Daniel. Mistakes happen, their response was great!
There is also a really cool axe throwing place and a good comedy club nearby here. Had considered going here for food on a date night before and after this review by Gary I am sure I will add it to the list of places to visit.
@@danielproulx7288 but they did make a mistake and that should never gapoen at those prices, never
Gary A Yorkshire man cooking great food in Lancashire Finally a celebrity chef produces the Goods Thanks mate from Ireland 🍀
Thank you so very much 🇮🇪🇮🇪
Your channel is not only VERY educational, it is also most entertaining . A good sense of humor is such a massive advantage
That is a lovely comment thank you
As soon as you said you were having lamb cannon I knew you wouldn’t be getting a lot of meat. It’s probably the most expensive cut of lamb.
It all looked fantastic - James martin for all his flashiness with the cars and so on is one of the most genuine and experienced chefs of his generation.
Yes for me the best chef
That’s very true it is very expensive
Always seem to be holding your breath when going to these celebrity chef restaurants, but James certainly delivered.
I think it was a fair criticism about the lamb portion size.
Entertaining as ever Gary.
Thank you and yes this was good
I’m glad you gave this place a good review.He’s one of my favourite celebrity chefs and have always found him a very genuine personality.As ever a great review.
Thank you Peter and yes he seems like a nice guy
The restaurant seemed, from the video, seemed to have a lovely ambience. The presentation of the food was top tier. I agree that the portion of lamb seemed a bit meagre.
The overall price is a bit steep but you're paying for quality over quantity.
Great review Gary. Credit to the camera work and production. This channel just gets better and better and you've stayed true to your original style. 10/10
That is such a lovely and kind comment to make thank you very much. It is really appreciated.
If someone had told me forty years ago that I'd be watching British food reviews in 2024, I would have laughed. You've come a long way.
That’s very kind thank you Stewart
My late wife and I used to watch James on "morning TV" and always felt that he came across as a nice person! (Your meal came as a bit pricey, though!). (Another great video, Gary, thanks for that!).
My kindest regards to you and your late wife 🌹🌹🌹
Ha ha you loved that didn’t you Gary?!! Banging food, great ambiance and that dessert - bung it all in!
Glad to see you so happy and steady on with your £2 bet😂😂! Another great review boys, thank you😘
Thank you so very much, Carol 🌹🌹❤️❤️
Oh Gary you are a card. That was brilliant. Cameraman did an awesome job as usual. The food did look amazing. Great score. Thanks as always Gary Take care.
Thank you so much
Pleased you loved the food in this restaurant , I love James Martin and his Saturday kitchen and books ,, so nice to hear you were not disappointed . Wished we lived in Manchester . He’s also a Yorkshireman , guess where I was born !!! Yes Yorkshire , biased or what 😂
I think James has done a great job on this occasion, especially as so many celebrity chefs seem to let me down
Cheers for your latest video, Gary. Love as ever to you and your cameraman, mate. Safe travels!
Many thanks and on the way to Scotland Paul!
De-li-ci-ous! Superb cooking!! Beautiful presentation! Thank you for taking us along. Much appreciated.
Thank you Sylvia 🌹
Great review as always. Food looks lovely Gary. James Martin is a fantastic chef. Keep up the great videos mate.
Thank you very much, Jack
Loved sharing that experience with you Gary and love your sense of humour. It all looked delicious but agree the portion of lamb was disappointing , especially for the price. 175k subs and growing!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you Wendy and I agree about the lamb
I live in the Pacific Northwest and so will likely never visit any of the establishments you review, but I am always so pleased when you (and the cameraman) post a new review. Thank you so much!
Glad you like them! Thanks so much Robert
Yet another fair and honest review from the nicest and most genuine guy on UA-cam, not forgetting the cameraman of course! Your success is richly deserved Gary. 😃
That is such a kind comment to make thank you, Mike
@GaryEats meant every word Gary. You must be good as my mum likes you. She said you're always so polite, how very true.
I like James Martin so I'm pleased that his restaurant didn't disappoint. I'd have say that, to me, the portion size looked good as did the food. Quality always shines through. Thanks for the video. Cheers.
Thank you very much for your wonderful comment
Excellent review Gary! Food did look amazing and you and the camera man are so professional great channel x
Thanks Gina!
The croupier looked like he could do with a good few meals lol, but seriously Gary, that was fun to watch and in our opinion, James joins James May in quality and ambiance. Fab review with the usual great humour, cheers 😊👍
I’m pleased you like this one thank you, Nigel
You know…I stumbled across your channel/reviews around 5 weeks ago…I watch one everyday now …this was great and I like your fun nature which adds to the content! I find myself wanting to go to this restaurant now purely for that dessert you had! Keep it up Gary…you’re a very likeable guy 🤙
That is really really appreciated thank you very much
I know some people don't like these celebrity chef restaurant reviews but I think they're really important, they tell us which are worth visiting and which are tourist traps better off avoiding (Gordon Ramsay comes to mind..)
That’s very kind to say, thank you
I interviewed James a couple of times when I was with the BBC, nice guy and a great sense of humour and a fantastic Chef
That is wonderful to hear thank you for letting me know
Been a busy day at work, now sitting down and relaxing while watching this great channel. Thanks for the upload Gary
Brilliant stuff Elliott!
A bit of a Martin fan so Very happy the Restaurant passed Your Let's give it a go Test Gary, As always..Great work
Thank you Steve
Glad to see a celebrity chef restaurant actually deliver a good dining experience. Excellent review as always. Hope everyone is doing well.
It does make a change and thank you very much. I hope you’re doing well.
Brilliant review Gary. Like, like James Martin. The food was awesome. Again, maybe worth a visit. Thanks you two.
Thank you James done well
He definitely visits fairly often. I used to DJ at the bar downstairs and saw him there a few times.
*Food looked Exquisite- supreme quality- I do put James Martin as my top favourite celeb chef and this place definitely definitely has got top notch food 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌*
Glad you enjoyed it Glenda
I remember seeing him doing book signings yrs ago in Birmingham nec, good food show
Too shy to say anything lol
Now,there’s a full day out - full of free samples,hot,cold,sweet and savoury. Reckon,you’d love that
Really enjoyed your banter Gary this used to be a regular spot for myself and my wife when we used to live in Manchester nice to see the quality of food and service is still top drawer ❤
Wonderful thank you Andrew and I’m glad you really enjoy it
I like james martin too, his saturday kitchen days were the best
Classic, I enjoyed it too
It's really nice to see a " celebrity " chef actually do well.
The meal looked fantastic.
I am not a big fan of sweets and desserts, but butterscotch sauce is my ultimate favourite, especial, if you dip strawberries in it.I
Great Video again Gary!
Well said, I think James has got it spot on here especially after seeing other reviews
Gary, it’s great to see you’ve enjoyed the first 2 restaurants you’ve visited in Manchester. Like you mentioned in your video, whilst I have no problem with gambling / casinos, I would be hesitant to walk through the casino to eat at James Martin’s restaurant. Another great video which we’ve all come to enjoy and expect.
I think walking through a casino would be a bit of putting for many people
James is the top guy. It's down to management and great staff in the restaurant. I always enjoy your videos, Gary 😊
He is clearly keeping his eye on the restaurant
Gary has the best job in the world. Thought it was a bit expensive for the size of the dishes but Gary enjoyed it so that's what matters 😊
I certainly do Greg thank you
Thank you for visiting my venue
He wants more lamb. In case you missed it. 😅❤
Yeah right.
Not the real James Martin 😂 .
@@margaretconnery7422you reckon?
James, I visited last week and unfortunately caught AIDS. Can I have a free T-shirt the next time I'm in please?
Gary that pudding looked so yummy. We are going to see James at Newcastle City Hall next year, next stop may take my mum to one of his restaurants, she loves him.
So Sobs good ❤️
Great review - yep it’s an occasion restaurant- that food looked fantastic tho - that pudding! Must admit I have a soft spot for James Martin so was pleased this place came up trumps. Nice the way the mistake was handled. Nice work.
Thanks for watching! And I’m glad you like James Carol, he’s always come across very nicely on TV
As always Gary, great review !
Glad you enjoyed it Geoff
Hi Gary I was relieved to see a good review after seeing Greeno was a fan of the other James Martin restaurant. He seems to be the best reviewed celebrity chef at the moment. Lovely stuff, that starter was something else! 🤓🥩🥂
Me and Greeno both agree, that’s a shock in itself!
Who?
@@GaryEats 😂😂😂
@@HowardOfficialGreeno Eats review channel 🤓🥩🥂
My mother would have loved that pudding. It was her very favourite dessert. Happy memories!
I’m so sorry to hear of her passing Rose 🌹🌹🌹
@ She died many years ago, Gary, aged 92. A life well lived. She would have loved that restaurant- and the chance to have a wee flutter at the tables! 🥃
Wonderful Gary... We Love James Martin... And the fact he is down to earth... Maybe a little more Lamb? Looked Great though nonetheless... When we get our traveler ... we are going to travel & maybe bump into you one day ... Another great insight from our favourite reviewer !!!
Thank you so much and yes I’m a big fan of James
@@GaryEats The Potato included !!! Would of been as you suggested would have been a better score maybe Gary ?
Another beautiful review Gary! One of the special features of your reviews is that you give a clear view of everything on the plate. That makes for ideas when cooking at home. It creates some exciting combinations. Thank you!
That’s very kind to say, thank you very much
Thought the presentation was amazing - that sticky toffee pudding looked epic - great review as per 😊
Thank you Karl and it tasted epic
Lovely to see another video ready for dinner this evening. Beautiful homemade lasagne. Let’s give it a go!
Hope you enjoy Leroy
As a fan, I must say Gary, that even though everyone loves that you reply to every comment, there is no shame if you had to reign that in. Alot of time must go into that. That you do shows your character, but given the increase in number, there is definitely, absolutely no obligation, and is even unreasonable of people to expect it! Just to put that out there X
That’s very kind Jack, I will do my best as always promised
I agree to this also, pls Gary don't burn yourself out, take it easy man
@@lisad8052he's hardly gonna burn himself replying to fans. 😂
@@GaryEatsJust admit it, replying to comments is your secret addiction 😅
I agree
Great honest review and good that a “celebrity chef” restaurant actually delivers instead of disappoint. Keep them coming 👍
Thank you and makes a change
Love 235. Last time was my wife's birthday. Lamb for me and fish risotto for my wife. I think salmon. I only tasted a mouthful of hers. Perfumed lemongrass aroma. Sublime. Nothing was too much trouble. They then brought out two glasses of Champagne for us on the house, after I (ahem....) mentioned that it was the wife's birthday. (I have no pride).
James was not there, but having met him through an associate previously, it was no matter.
A wonderful visit.❤❤
PS: we have dined at Metropolitan Mayfair, and Met Sportsman as well as Met 235 and Met Empire. All four were very excellent. ❤❤
James Martin is an excellent patisserie chef and known for it.
The menu looks classy.
That bhaji I would love to try as it looks lovely.
Cheese and onion are a marriage made in heaven .
I love lamb and I do feel you should have had more for your pennies, but delicious anyhow and the rosti lovely.
A lovely venue and menu.
Thank you for an excellent review.
Have a super relaxed evening our lovely Gary and Son x 😊
£12 for a bhaji? That's extortion
A very classy location and I agree Maris, I think with more lamb on the plate then we were getting very close to a perfect 10 but I felt the portion let it down, thank you always x
I think as long as people keep paying these insane prices, the more these so called celeb chefs will keep raising the prices, I make damn good bhajis, I'm gonna sell them on street corners £3.00 each and make around 600% profit!
@@Heygoodlooking-lk9kg I agree it's expensive but it's different from the norm. I'd give it a go definitely. It's a one off experience 😊
@@Heygoodlooking-lk9kg I'm sure you do. But everyone is entitled to a treat now and again. Don't forget that if you sell your delicious bhajis to try include a cheesy sauce with them. Something very different for sure 😊
Loving the manchester reviews, keep em up gary
Thanks Simon 👍
Cheers from Canada, always good reviews !!
Thank you very much 🇨🇦
As nice as the sticky toffee pudding looked, I would have been tempted to try the whisky bread and butter pudding. The food did look very delicious and I liked the way it was presented, the pudding in the delightful pot was a brilliant idea. Alas, my presentation skills are non existent - I just pile it on the plate and tuck in; I'm such a peasant at heart! Another marvellous and humorous video from Gary accompanied by the talented Mr. Cameraman - love to you both from Chirpy and Tania xxx
I should’ve had a different dessert on this occasion, Tania and Chirpy xxx
Hiya Gary. I always come back every few weeks for my gary fix. You're a top guy who never fails to cheer me up. Cheers for your honesty and by being yourself. Never change pal. Great review as always. Best wishes to you both. Marko from lancs!
That’s really appreciated Mark thank you
Thank you Gary, loved it, but you promised me you would have cheese one day?? I would have with choice gone with the Mackerel, your main and cheese!! But no one takes me out so guess I'll settle for your choice! Again thank you both. 🌹🌹👍👍👍👍
Sorry Jacqui, I will get more seafood in the future
@@GaryEats Do not be sorry lovely, envious of watching you enjoy, would love to be there with you!! Wishing you a Blessed week. Thanks. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🤗🤗🙋♀🙋♀
The playing cards in the foyer was an excellent opportunity for a Brucie 'Play Your Cards Right' take off 😆
Haha brilliant Rosie. I’m in Scotland as we speak!
@ I think my 'Welcome to Bonnie Scotland Gary' banner must've disappeared into the ether 🏴💕
Gazza, could ya put ten quid on the black for me, if doesn't win ill fix u guys up when next down in kiwi land😅😅😅
Another good one guys...
James Martin - one of the most likeable culinary personalities. Good stuff!
Yes many do like him Dale, he loves his butter too
Gary you are the best at what you do in my opinion because i know no matter what you will always have 100% honesty and transparency when making your wonderful content :). i am so glad i stumbled across you as you have been my entertainment for so many lunches in my work. Amazing review as always !
Thank you very much Callum
Lovely looking, classy restaurant, Gary, where the food is beautifully presented. I can see why you enjoyed eating there!
Many thanks
You're creeping up on 200k. And I couldn't be happier for a UA-camr.
Thank you so much
After a usually exhausting day (long struggle with my dad’s dementia) I get home and cook for my partner and little girl. The little one usually watching something that would be considered warfare torture.
I bring the food in and say “can we watch something we all enjoy please” the little one “Gary eats”?.
She gets it. Keep it up both ❤✌️
I’m very sorry to hear about your dad’s dementia. I understand your situation, please take care
@ Thank you Gary. All the best to you and yours. We all love the channel.
I love James Martin. He comes across as very approachable, yet he's not. Refreshing
Has an excellent restaurant as well
Presentation was amazing here Gary, yes could have had a bit more with the main, but wife was spot on again with her 9 prediction!
The world might be going to pot but when one of Gary’s reviews drops everything seems ok for a while 😊
Thank you Andy
I don't think the cameraman got any of that food, Gary demolished it 🤣🤣
He certainly didn’t 😂😂
@@GaryEats 🤣
Always Appreciate your videos mate, Love Em!!
Glad you like them! Thanks Herbert
At last. A celebrity chef who seems to care about his restaurants. As. Greano visited one and loved that too. Food looked excellent altho I'm with you, they do skimp on the portions at these places lol. As always Gary, loved the video and great seeing you again
Thank you Wayne
Gary good to see you were not let down by another Celeb place. I do agree with you that the lamb portion was small so they could have added the potato dish to the meal. Great video Gary
Thank you Michael, a bit more and we are in business
We all love gary!
Menu sounds delicious. As for the calories, I have been on Michael Mosleys Fast 800 diet so limited to 800 cals or thereabouts a day 😢 so Gary through you I am enjoying watching you savour that lovely grub. I too love James Martin he is one of the good guys I reckon.
Love you too!
Visiting a celebrity chef restaurant is already a gamble😂
A big gamble… did it pay off?
Thanks again Gary for your enthusiastic,honest opinion 👏👏
Thank you
Just want to say guys. Amazing video quality…. Credit to you both. Also, as normal for you two, informative and helpful. Pair of legends. x
That is really kind and appreciated thank you very, very much xx
Looks an amazing setting in that restaurant Gary.. great food to go with it, I think James Martin is on the top of his game 👍.. go easy Gary with the calories... keep the blood pressure down.. 💪 👍
I will, Graham, thank you for the advice and James has done well
Hi Gary been watching your channel for couple of weeks it brilliant ten out of ten
