I see Tom Kerridge was moaning about customers complaining about his 'over priced' fish and chips today. He's really copping it and deservedly so, probably because of Gary's recent poor but correct review. Keep it up Gary, we really appreciate your no nonsense reviews.
Looks delicious, Manchester is the place for pies Gary! We went to the Transport Mueseum in Manchester on Sunday and we had a pie each from the cafe. We were not expecting much but the pies were fantastic. We had two steak pies, 1 sausage roll, 2 bovril and a can for 8 quid! Can't say fairer than that Gary All the best 👍
They looked like Proper homemade chips. My mum used to work in a cafe up north and would hand peel about 4 bags of potatoes a day and they looked exactly like those chips.
@@PastaSauce. yes, they’re exactly like the ones my mum used to make too. Almost like they were done in a 1980s chip pan 🤣 no chips taste as good to me
I'd love to see a Steak and Kidney pie on the menu- as a country we have become squeemish of offal like our American cousins. For me the Steak and Kidney is the king of pies. You said they have seasonal menus, so maybe they have steak and kidney pie on at another time of the year. Anyway, I loved the look of the restaurant itself and like you say the outside space looks amazing for summer. Your pie looked delicious, well filled, and the way you described it it sounded perfect. I liked the presentation- perhaps that presentation of the pie atop of the mash would not look as good on a regular plate? All in all I will definitely give it a go myself, it looks excellent and the discount was obviously an added bonus. I hope the cameraman managed to save a few chips for himself. ☺
I like the idea of a smaller menu. It means that the chefs can concentrate on serving up a great pie, and that looked great. I would like to see more beef and kidney pies on offer, maybe even a beef suet pie. The way it was presented was excellent. The only criticism I would have? £4 for mash? Just a little bit pricey, but it wouldn't stop me from ordering it. A great review. Thanks for sharing it 👍👍.
Love seeing all these regular reviews, Gary 👍🏼 I don't really see the benefit of plonking the pie on top of the mash, just trying to be different I guess, they should be next to each other, and on a plate! 😄 I'd also prefer the gravy to come separate so I can add as much as I want as I'm munching my way through the meal. It looked like a good bit of food though 👍🏼
its not different though many pub are doing that. it looks tall but when you are looking at paying £4 for bit of mash. those are expensive potatoes they are using
I eat everything out of a similar bowl at home. It is a set of 4 large pasta bowls from Amazon. Yes, anything with sauce/gravy should be in a bowl. What a lovely presentation, with the mash sitting in a bowl of gravy with a delicious-tasting pie on top.
@@mozzjones6943 haha. I have a set of ramen bowls for noodles/ramen/rice. A set of high sided bowls for other stuff and a set of Cornishware pasta bowls for well, pasta and stuff. I'm currently eating rice and spicy meatballs from one. They are great for eating chips from too, very wide.
Gary, your reviews are excellent and so entertaining - especially on these cold winter nights. This video though had my fiancee and I in hysterics though... "The cameraman has got himself some chips; greedy porker..." - then you proceeded to keep pilfering them!!! Hilarious! Thanks Gary - you really brighten us up.
I love your honest reviews and the way you give the review. You don't just throw out 10 out of 10's to everything you like, unlike some other TH-cam reviewers.
Beautiful looking dish, mate! Definitely a bowl for me - keeps all that delicious gravy from spilling. That outside seating area looks amazing. And bloody good value too. Cheers, Gary!
Nothing makes a better meal than a proper gravy 😊, that is what a proper pie is ❤, looked delicious, although I would have preferred this on a plate 😊 thanks for keeping these reviews coming Gary 😊❤
Thanks Gary another excellent video. Firstly, I think that the bowl is fine but you definitely need a spoon. Also, please don’t ever reveal who your cameraman is like with the Stig on top gear. Once he was revealed, his mystery was lost forever so keep your excellent cameraman hidden would be my say by the way, his camera work and the way the videos put together is absolutely first class well done keep up the good work.
Thank you so much for the positive comments about the cameraman, he is so good at what he does and helps me when as usual I make mistakes however he has to stop eating on the job 😂😂😂
🎶Who ate all the pies? Who ate all the pies?... not the poor cameraman🎶 🥺🤭 That pie, mash and gravy looked lush. Glad CM got himself some chips but he should have stopped you nicking them! 😆
You're far too kind my friend. Any recommendations or places you would like me to review, I will do my best to get there. Very generous and it means a lot that you're supporting the channel in this way.
Now THAT is a PIE ~ Proper Northern fare with amazing gravy & camera man's chips to top it off ! I'm in heaven just watching you tucking into that pie ! I do agree though that a plate would be better than the bowl it was served in. Minor grievance though. Top place.
Looks really nice but would prefer it on a plate myself personally ,love your videos though , something calming about them and always makes me hungry , love how you take the time to reply to so many viewers aswell you deserve all the luck with the channel growth keep em coming
Hello our friend Gary, another good watch & definitely requires a plate rather than a bowl, being a huge gravy lover, good looking pie too, keep em coming in Gary. Claire, Si & Dash xxx
Hello Claire, Si and Dash, I hope you’re all well, this was good but not outstanding I though5 as it specialises in Pies it would be that step better 🤷♂️
That looked beautiful, it's got my taste buds going. Looks a really nice relaxing place. Wish the family all the success they deserve with their business.
Restaurants can have a tendency to just make a pie lid to “finesse” it much to the chagrin of their customers 😂 Yay! No service charge and tips go directly to your server 👏 That’s one full pie! Ooh and buttery pastry 🤤 Odd it’s in a bowl though…🤯
Gary, Great North Pie Co. Absolutely immense! Now, i not excatly a huge pie fan, but the presentation & the actual pie itself looked amazing! Bowl or plate? the food was too good to even care about that 😂 The chips, well... Believe it or not, thats excatly how i like them, brown in colour slightly soggy & bendy! Lol Perfect!! The price lets be honest, £4 for mash, I'd say over priced.. but... It was a quality bit of food so expected! & Happy to pay it 😊 Quality Camera work, & a Great review Gary! Cheers 🍻
I must say that's a very smart looking shop, really fitting for a vibrant city like Manchester. Fascinating to see the stylistic differences between old school Pie n Mash shops with the new wave fancier kind, like Mothermash. The plating, ingredients, decor, lettering, all quite nice. Some days traditional is best, some days it's nice to treat yourself to something fresh and innovative.
That was an exceptional encased pie Gary. All the ingredients, particularly the onion gravy looked delicious. Personally, I’d have been happy with the bowl and the discount made it even better, although without it, still fantastic value for money. Really appreciated you sharing with us and catch you soon 👍👍👍
You show such restraint when you are eating Gary. I’d want to dive in to it all straight away! Those chips looked good too- well done cameraman!! Great review again lads 😘
Truly enjoyable channel. 🎉🎉🎉. My Japanese Bride of 34 years loves your voice. She is now saying "Let's give it a go." So Sweet. Blessings from Texas,USA. 👍😊❤
Hi Gary. Great review. Looked really enjoyable. The presentation looked like a castle on top of a hill of mash with a moat of gravy around it! Chips did look a bit greasy, but that can happen anywhere. ... 25%discount is brilliant in this day and age. Best of luck to the family running this restaurant. Keep up the great work, Gary and cameraman!!!
Loved the review and the pie! You can't beat a good pie with great gravy! Nice to see you in Manchester,close to my old city of Salford, but having lived in Malvern for over 25 years I doubt I'll get up there but who knows?
Second. Love Gary videos as builds up hunger - willing to always give it a go. Whats happened to Rosie Lee Tea? Pie is awesome but you need some carrots and broccoli ?
Good stuff Gary. Really liked the look of the place. I am quite a fan of a more spare menu. It helps with the speed of service and the freshness of the food, at least in my experience. Of course, we are all pleased to see a proper pie this time.
You've hit the nail on the head, the food arrives quickly and hot. They can turn the tables in about 60 minutes. It just works and the quality sings, plus the price is excellent for a hot meal in a big city.
That's the kind of meal you want in this weather, Gary. Wouldn't have thought you missed out with the lack of ginger and lemon coming through, I'd say it didn't really need it. The chips looked a bit like 'new season' potatoes when they tend to be a bit greasy and sweet, but still tasty. You get a pie and mash with onion gravy, cameraman gets a bowl of chips which you proceed to pinch from right under his nose! Surprised he didn't lamp you one!! Cappuccino with a pie?! Where's the pint of nut brown ale?! Maybe you snook a cheeky Scotch into it, in which case you're forgiven 😂! Great post as always, pal 👍.
Haha, I knew someone would pull me up on the Cappucino. You must know my weird (and wonderful...) ways by now! Much appreciated mate, how is your dad doing?
@@GaryEats He passed away in peace New Year's Day, mate. When he watched your channel, he thought you were actually there due to dementia and other things but, tbh, sad as we are that he's passed away, some of the things he said at the screen to you were hilarious! E.g 'What yer ordered all that for?!? Yer nevver gonna eat all that' , 'Yer always eatin', how come there's no fat on yer? Seen more fat on a butcher's pencil'' 'Yer shirt collar needs ironin' , 'Don't they serve Black & Tan?' The comedy helped to balance out the pain! Your channel has helped not only my Dad in his last days but all of us so we could laugh through the tears - in one vid he thought you were Phil Daniels in Quadraphenia taking him out for a pie in London - I should never have lent him that DVD 😂.. Thanks for asking, pal. Keep up the great posts. Looking forward to you finding the best Beef & Oyster pie when you go to Ireland. 👍
I'm really sorry to hear that. I hope you and your family ok. I'm glad that the channel helped and I want to wish you all the best and thank you for your kind comments as always. Your dad was most certainly correct in all of his judgements about me. Anytime. Thank you.
Another good review Garry. That what you get up North. Proper food for proper people. Puts those cockney pies and liquor to shame and the chips look spot on. Not far from Manchester so will be giving this place a visit of the back of your review. Won’t be having a coffee though 😜
When I see the quilted jacket, I know it’s a new Gary video. 👍 Keep up the good work Gary you are knocking it out of the park with your affable style, and no nonsense reviews. I’m looking forward to the Whitby fish and chips. Now after this I’m hungry so see ya.
I've just watched this after watching the review of Mad O'Rourke's Pie Factory in Tipton. In this latest review it's a proper fully encased pie, gravy and mash looked great as did the portion of chips. IMHO the Great North Pie wins hands down. Great video once again. Many thanks
What an amazing looking pie 🥧👌🙌👏🏻👏🏻 Fully packed,nice pastry,well presented and the discount. The chips looked so good. Either one of two things … either a spoon or maybe a bowl that’s a little wider but less deep,more shallow just to get in,with a spoon - would be my ideal. Superb Gary
PIEtastic !! That pie looked scrumptious and It was clear to see you enjoyed it, and the non-seasoned mash and Gravy. "I need a spoon"... lol...made me smile as there was the teaspoon right beside you but as we all saw, you didn't need it in the end. Would love to know what seasoning they put on the chips, or what spuds they use, or what oil they use .... From the Ministry Of Plates...Dear Mr Gary. We have today closed down GNPC based on your 'Plate Citation' given in your review. I left them with the paperwork so that they can aPIEal my decision. We thank you for bringing this to our attention. Mr P. Late. Executive Officer In Charge of Plates.
That looked like a great plate of pie, mash and gravy, mate. Definitely have to visit this place next time we're going up north. It's really nice comfort food when it's cold and wintery. Another great review, Gary, keep up the fabulous work and have yourself an absolutely wonderful rest of your day. Speak to you soon, I am a bit busy these days. Cheers! 🍻🙂
@@GaryEats lots of work these days, huge COVID and flue pressure, so it's off your speciality and on to the COVID unit. Pluss emergency surgery's, so unfortunately we're quite busy these days.
Now thats a pie! Love the way it was presented - practical and stylish and didn’t it look good. Hope cameraman was allowed a few. Hips cos they were spot on as well. You’re certainly finding Manchesters best food spots 👍
Carol thanks for watching and commenting, the chips the few I had lol tasted lovely and the meal was well worth the price, Manchester has toooooo many excellent food places to enjoy 😉
Really look forward to your reviews, thanks. Looked like a wet lard pastry use more in the North that's why the bottom was not soggy unlike London that uses short crust pasty for the bottoms designed to get soggy. Loved the fact the decor was contemporary instead of Victorian. Only qooce I have in Cincy is a frozen Mary Calander Chix pie. Make me home sick. Thanks!
Gary, I'm glad you liked a pie from my corner of the world - up North 😁 We do make the best pies, I'm sorry. I buy these at a local town market in Macclesfield on the last Sunday of each month. Last season they had (July-Nov) was: - 14 Hour Braised Beef & Ale - Roast Chicken & Mushroom - Classic Lancashire Cheese & Onion - Vindaloo Pie I had the Beef & Ale and Cheese & Onion and they were absolutely divine! But I haven't tried one of their restaurants yet though. But after seeing this - I certainly will . . . give it a gooo. Probably on a very cold day for best satisfaction. *Kampus* is indeed in Manchester on Aytoun St, M1 3GL. They also have: *Bakery* in Wilmslow, SK9 3HW (I think this one has closed down) *Ambleside* in The Lake District, LA22 0EE *Market House* in Altrincham, WA14 1SA But if you want to try one to take home for around £5 per pie, get yourself to a local market.
Oh those chips look great. The pie looked even better, mash and gravy. I am so happy that the chips had a nìce flavour. Great and honest review as per normal from you. Plate. Bowls are for desserts.worth every penny
Nice Review Gary, an actual ‘real pie’ this time!…and it showed 👍 Gravy looked yummy and I thought the Bowl worked to capture the Gravy. I would also say fair scoring, particularly with the 25% Discount. Loved the Gary faux pas…”sweggy” and giggle 😂 Thanks Gary
I wish we could find pies of that calibre further down south! And my sympathies to the cameraman who was watching his delicious chips steadily diminish in front of his eyes!
What’s brilliant about these Manchester food reviews is simple. For the first time ever I’ve got to see and hear the places that exist within my own city! Giving myself an opportunity to visit the various places with confidence. Would never have tried any of these venues if it wasn’t for Gary and his camera man. Try and leave the camera mans chips alone Gary?!
Nice video chap as always….👍👍 WoW!!! the pie and mash potato looked delicious chap….lovely gravy too. It’s looked nice in the bowl with all that nice gravy 👌👌
Another super no BS review- thanks Gary (and Cameraman!) I don’t know this place, but will give it a whirl as I’m local. Thank you for all your content.
Now that's what chips should be like. Using a good quality waxy spud. Booths supermarket sell these pies, and the c and h are amazing. Glad you mentioned the tarragon, as I didn't know what it was. 👍👍👍
Looks tasty , nice portion and seemed good value for what you paid. I’d of slapped a dollop of mustard bang in the middle .. hahaha .. good video !! nice venue too !👍👌👌👌
That looked fabulous, and perfect winter food! Think that if you have gravy, you want the bowl, and a plate would suffice if you were just having Pie & Chips etc.
I've just recently discovered your excellent channel. I'm glad you enjoyed the pie. We went a couple of years ago. I had the nicest pie I've ever had. It was a 4 or 5 cheese pie. Washed down with a pint of Titanic Cherry Porter. These pies are proper delicious. Your bang on about the quality of pastry and that gravy! I'm looking forwards to binging though your back catalogue of videos. Cheers.
Looked fantastic! I agree with the bowl/plate situation, however, I would have just wiped the coffee spoon and dug in!! Then again, what if the bottom of the spoon went "SWEGGY"😂 keep up the good work Gary, love your channel 👏
Firstly a great find Gary and your review…….I’m going too give it a ten out of ten , it’s dam impossible not too , Mt thoughts for what they’re worth , I personally like it served in a bowl , excellent presentation, Pastry looked en point , 25 a% Winter Discount love it , minus points Mash , Gravy and chips cost more than the Pie , if it’s onion gravy it should be choc a bloc with roasted onions , I’m sure it tasted nice , but onion gravy has got to have roasted onions , I agree with your score thou , thoroughly deserved , thanks Gary 👍
Nice easy watching and a little bit of humour with the cameraman's chips. A great watch, which is interesting but also quite soothing and relaxing, if that makes any sense at all. Look forward to the next one 👍
Gary, another wonderful presentation. What a hearty, stick to your ribs meal that must have been. This one really does make me think you've got the greatest gig going. Well done.
Ooh so much to talk about in this video Gary. Strange blend of interior. Part industrial, part modern smart,the table light fabulous. Simple menu.Meat Pies ! Its what it says on the door. If you have a limited menu,it must be good, and yours looked brilliant. Two parts on this bit ,my POV .Plate over bowl ( most times)Gravy ❤ but sold as an extra is outrageous 😢. If requested at the start of the meal,added to the plate. Or in a Gravy boat. But the Gravy is part of the meal. CTP's chips. Knockout. Could have been cooked in lard or dripping. Also, not over washed. The natural starch in the potatoes helps the colour. Price wise a wery good deal apart from the Gravy 😢 Still onwards & upwards Allan&Family
Ooh now that all looked yummy🎉..i like salt on my mash,but its perhaps good choice that they leave it out as my 2 girls do not have salt with or on their mash..good to have a choice...honestly that made me hungry...my old dad always had a spoon to finish his gravy..🎉 ty Gary for sharing..great as always 🎉
Tremendous value plus a 25% discount is even better. I think I prefer the bowl because it contains the gravy better than plate - although you should be given a spoon! Chips looked greasy and limp though take your word on their good flavour. Always like to support family-owned businesses - never chains. Great review as ever Gary!
I’ll be going here on Friday after your review, by the way I went to the place called This & That as you recommended, it is excellent value for money and delicious curries. Thanks once again, Gary 👍
Loving this review, Even with the very generous discount I still think that plate of tucker is good value for money, the fact that it is butter pastry shows that the owners are not skimping on quality ingredients, the vast majority of pies out there are made with pastry made with veg oil or margarine, Butter may be more expensive to use but gives a better texture and taste, thanks Gary, Gav
Now that's a proper pie❤And the chips looked like proper home made not frozen rubbish😉 Another fab reveiw guys🙌 bowl ,plate I couldn't care I would be to busy tucking in🤣 sweggy🤷♂ is that a Gary word🤣🤣🤣Discount the bill wow good on em that will get folks in👍
Great video again, the pie, mash and gravy are traditionally servered in a bowl, as they would of been in a cook shops. The pastry is made with Therlmere water... And it makes the best pastry.. Thank you for sharing...
Gary, it's no problem, I,m a Lancashire lad , so I can connect with your experience up here, I,ll give you one recommendation, try a steak pudding from "Guys Hamlet" it's a great place at Billsborrow j32 M6 , it's a pub and hotel but its a replica of a medieval village, set on the canal side, they keepba gsntastic pint of Timothy Taylors Landlord, check it out, and treat yourself, I,m notjing to do with the place, its one of out day of t targets, DO NOt, go on a Sunday, all the best John.
Another great review Gary! I always look forward to them. At home I like a bowl because I’m clumsy and it’s easier to keep away from my cat who tries to inspect all my food, but not for food that requires a knife. You’re right that is awkward. One thing I really appreciate about Chinese food is that it comes in bite size pieces. It goes straight from the takeout container into a bowl for me.
I like the bowl idea.. keep it swimming in the gravy, although as a northerner, I’d be happy with pie & gravy served however! Great work as always Gary.
Looked good Gary, ideal on a cold day, comfort food, hope Tom Kerridge watches, and sees how many chips should be in a portion.
Haha agreed !😂
lol, I saw "Toms" fish and chips opinion reply today.
I see Tom Kerridge was moaning about customers complaining about his 'over priced' fish and chips today. He's really copping it and deservedly so, probably because of Gary's recent poor but correct review. Keep it up Gary, we really appreciate your no nonsense reviews.
I really don’t think he will look or listen 😳
He already has, much of his complaint looked like it was directed at you. I think it was reported on the Daily Mail website.
You have such calming nature to your videos, yet also find them genuine and trust worthy! Great channel 👍🏻
Glad you like them Danny thank you 🙏
The pie sitting on a mound of mash surrounded by a moat of gravy was very creative and practical. The food looked delicious. Another gem review Gary!
Cheers Christopher 👍
Motte is a good word, and the pie must be the Bailey.
Now that looked outstanding!!! A proper pie ! Thanks for sharing Gary.
Thanks for watching!
Looks delicious, Manchester is the place for pies Gary!

I love the Transport Museum. Looking by the Canals is always lovely too. Going to have to check out these Pies. Cheers to all
Looks amazing. I love that style of chips. Reminds me of the type you’d make at home
Exactly 👍
Me too!
Now they are what I call proper chips! And that pie looked delicious! Proper classy comfort food. Great video Gary!
Thank you kindly Paul 👌

Wow, thank you!
Hi Gary. Great review. Looked really enjoyable. The presentation looked like a castle on top of a hill of mash with a moat of gravy around it! Chips did look a bit greasy, but that can happen anywhere. ... 25%discount is brilliant in this day and age. Best of luck to the family running this restaurant. Keep up the great work, Gary and cameraman!!!
Excellent comment and really appreciated thank you 😊
Loved the review and the pie! You can't beat a good pie with great gravy! Nice to see you in Manchester,close to my old city of Salford, but having lived in Malvern for over 25 years I doubt I'll get up there but who knows?
Dirty old town, one of my all time favourites (try singing but really rubbish lol) the pie and gravy was amazing 👍👍
Second. Love Gary videos as builds up hunger - willing to always give it a go. Whats happened to Rosie Lee Tea? Pie is awesome but you need some carrots and broccoli ?
True need some vegetables next time 😊
Good stuff Gary. Really liked the look of the place. I am quite a fan of a more spare menu. It helps with the speed of service and the freshness of the food, at least in my experience. Of course, we are all pleased to see a proper pie this time.
Totally agree good comment 👍
You've hit the nail on the head, the food arrives quickly and hot. They can turn the tables in about 60 minutes. It just works and the quality sings, plus the price is excellent for a hot meal in a big city.
That's the kind of meal you want in this weather, Gary. Wouldn't have thought you missed out with the lack of ginger and lemon coming through, I'd say it didn't really need it. The chips looked a bit like 'new season' potatoes when they tend to be a bit greasy and sweet, but still tasty.
You get a pie and mash with onion gravy, cameraman gets a bowl of chips which you proceed to pinch from right under his nose! Surprised he didn't lamp you one!!
Cappuccino with a pie?! Where's the pint of nut brown ale?! Maybe you snook a cheeky Scotch into it, in which case you're forgiven 😂!
Great post as always, pal 👍.
Haha, I knew someone would pull me up on the Cappucino. You must know my weird (and wonderful...) ways by now! Much appreciated mate, how is your dad doing?
@@GaryEats He passed away in peace New Year's Day, mate. When he watched your channel, he thought you were actually there due to dementia and other things but, tbh, sad as we are that he's passed away, some of the things he said at the screen to you were hilarious! E.g 'What yer ordered all that for?!? Yer nevver gonna eat all that' , 'Yer always eatin', how come there's no fat on yer? Seen more fat on a butcher's pencil'' 'Yer shirt collar needs ironin' , 'Don't they serve Black & Tan?'
The comedy helped to balance out the pain!
Your channel has helped not only my Dad in his last days but all of us so we could laugh through the tears - in one vid he thought you were Phil Daniels in Quadraphenia taking him out for a pie in London - I should never have lent him that DVD 😂..
Thanks for asking, pal. Keep up the great posts. Looking forward to you finding the best Beef & Oyster pie when you go to Ireland.
👍
I'm really sorry to hear that. I hope you and your family ok. I'm glad that the channel helped and I want to wish you all the best and thank you for your kind comments as always. Your dad was most certainly correct in all of his judgements about me.
Anytime. Thank you.
@@GaryEats He was most certainly correct about his judgements of me, too! 😂. Blunt but true.
👍
Another good review Garry.
That what you get up North. Proper food for proper people. Puts those cockney pies and liquor to shame and the chips look spot on.
Not far from Manchester so will be giving this place a visit of the back of your review.
Won’t be having a coffee though 😜
Easy Tony nothing wrong with pie and mash however it was a good pie and lovely gravy, had to have a coffee as so cold 👍
When I see the quilted jacket, I know it’s a new Gary video. 👍 Keep up the good work Gary you are knocking it out of the park with your affable style, and no nonsense reviews. I’m looking forward to the Whitby fish and chips.
Now after this I’m hungry so see ya.
Thanks, will do and a lovely comment really appreciated 👍
I've just watched this after watching the review of Mad O'Rourke's Pie Factory in Tipton. In this latest review it's a proper fully encased pie, gravy and mash looked great as did the portion of chips. IMHO the Great North Pie wins hands down. Great video once again. Many thanks
Thank you very much
Now that's a PIE, great presentation and a bowl all day long.
Nice that it was shredded chicken rather than chunks.
And you did have a spoon 😂
Glad you enjoyed it and definitely need a spoon 👌
What an amazing looking pie 🥧👌🙌👏🏻👏🏻
Fully packed,nice pastry,well presented and the discount. The chips looked so good.
Either one of two things … either a spoon or maybe a bowl that’s a little wider but less deep,more shallow just to get in,with a spoon - would be my ideal. Superb Gary
Fantastic Glenda. Have to agree with you on the last line.
PIEtastic !! That pie looked scrumptious and It was clear to see you enjoyed it, and the non-seasoned mash and Gravy. "I need a spoon"... lol...made me smile as there was the teaspoon right beside you but as we all saw, you didn't need it in the end. Would love to know what seasoning they put on the chips, or what spuds they use, or what oil they use ....
From the Ministry Of Plates...Dear Mr Gary. We have today closed down GNPC based on your 'Plate Citation' given in your review. I left them with the paperwork so that they can aPIEal my decision. We thank you for bringing this to our attention. Mr P. Late. Executive Officer In Charge of Plates.
That was a really funny comment Neil. very good 😊
Would have looked out of this world. If the pie was on a plate surrounded by mash ,mushy peas and gravy mmmmmm lovely. Great review cheers
Agreed...but real mushy peas not very expensive crushed garden peas 🤣
That would be magical 😊
Oh the satisfaction seeing a Southerner awkwardly dipping a chip in gravy. The chips look perfect.
Haha it's superb
Those chips were great at first sight! I loved the presentation of the pie, on top of the mash,and yes, the bowl doesn't bother me a bit.
That looked like a great plate of pie, mash and gravy, mate. Definitely have to visit this place next time we're going up north. It's really nice comfort food when it's cold and wintery. Another great review, Gary, keep up the fabulous work and have yourself an absolutely wonderful rest of your day. Speak to you soon, I am a bit busy these days. Cheers! 🍻🙂
Me too Frank don't worry. Hope you're well mate and we will catch up very soon. Hope you're doing well at work.
@@GaryEats lots of work these days, huge COVID and flue pressure, so it's off your speciality and on to the COVID unit. Pluss emergency surgery's, so unfortunately we're quite busy these days.
Now thats a pie! Love the way it was presented - practical and stylish and didn’t it look good. Hope cameraman was allowed a few. Hips cos they were spot on as well. You’re certainly finding Manchesters best food spots 👍
Carol thanks for watching and commenting, the chips the few I had lol tasted lovely and the meal was well worth the price, Manchester has toooooo many excellent food places to enjoy 😉
Really look forward to your reviews, thanks. Looked like a wet lard pastry use more in the North that's why the bottom was not soggy unlike London that uses short crust pasty for the bottoms designed to get soggy. Loved the fact the decor was contemporary instead of Victorian. Only qooce I have in Cincy is a frozen Mary Calander Chix pie. Make me home sick. Thanks!
Now that is knowledge Derrick thank you 😊
Gary, I'm glad you liked a pie from my corner of the world - up North 😁 We do make the best pies, I'm sorry.
I buy these at a local town market in Macclesfield on the last Sunday of each month. Last season they had (July-Nov) was:
- 14 Hour Braised Beef & Ale
- Roast Chicken & Mushroom
- Classic Lancashire Cheese & Onion
- Vindaloo Pie
I had the Beef & Ale and Cheese & Onion and they were absolutely divine! But I haven't tried one of their restaurants yet though. But after seeing this - I certainly will . . . give it a gooo. Probably on a very cold day for best satisfaction.
*Kampus* is indeed in Manchester on Aytoun St, M1 3GL.
They also have:
*Bakery* in Wilmslow, SK9 3HW (I think this one has closed down)
*Ambleside* in The Lake District, LA22 0EE
*Market House* in Altrincham, WA14 1SA
But if you want to try one to take home for around £5 per pie, get yourself to a local market.
Thank you very much for the wonderful comment and I’ll take a look at the recommendation
That serving is a thing of beauty.
Seasoning is such a personal thing...when I cook for her indoors I dare not add salt .
Excellent presentation Seamus and lovely flavours 👌
Oh those chips look great. The pie looked even better, mash and gravy. I am so happy that the chips had a nìce flavour. Great and honest review as per normal from you. Plate. Bowls are for desserts.worth every penny
Thanks so much Ann. Much appreciated.
I really like this chap, he has great presentation, shows fair and balanced judgment, and he's very personable.
That’s very kind to say thank you 😊
Nice Review Gary, an actual ‘real pie’ this time!…and it showed 👍
Gravy looked yummy and I thought the Bowl worked to capture the Gravy.
I would also say fair scoring, particularly with the 25% Discount.
Loved the Gary faux pas…”sweggy” and giggle 😂
Thanks Gary
Glad you enjoyed it as always I mess up lol 😂
My wife steals my chips all the time as well. I feel for the cameraman.
Lol poor cameraman at least he had some chips 🍟😂
Great videos as always .great to see you up north. Chester has some great restaurants.
Yes they do. I'll be up north again soon.
I wish we could find pies of that calibre further down south! And my sympathies to the cameraman who was watching his delicious chips steadily diminish in front of his eyes!
Should’ve eaten them quickly then lol 😂😂😂
Looked great and I like the presentation in the bowl. Great value with the discount 👍. Fair score👌
Thanks so much 👍
What’s brilliant about these Manchester food reviews is simple. For the first time ever I’ve got to see and hear the places that exist within my own city!
Giving myself an opportunity to visit the various places with confidence. Would never have tried any of these venues if it wasn’t for Gary and his camera man. Try and leave the camera mans chips alone Gary?!
Glad you enjoyed them as we certainly enjoyed Manchester, but the chips were excellent lol 😂
Another good review from Gary. Keep going we love to watch them
Thank you! Will do, and thanks for watching and commenting 👌
Looks like a proper pie. The best pies I had was in primary school and the dinner ladies would make a sausage pie it was unbelievable ❤️❤️❤️👌👌👌👌
That sound so good and a brilliant idea in my book 😊
Nice video chap as always….👍👍 WoW!!! the pie and mash potato looked delicious chap….lovely gravy too. It’s looked nice in the bowl with all that nice gravy 👌👌
So good as always thank you 😊
Why not come to Liverpool Gary?
I will be coming, Gary I promise
another great review Gary. served in a bowl for me. I might pop over there next week Gary on the back of this review. Cheers
Hope you enjoy Harry 👍
That's a proper pie.
Nice to hear Phil 👌
Another super no BS review- thanks Gary (and Cameraman!) I don’t know this place, but will give it a whirl as I’m local. Thank you for all your content.
Hope you enjoy and thank you 👍
That looked extremely nice especially the chips and gravy - proper northern food!. Excellent Gary you have done Manchester proud thank you.
Manchester done me proud 😊
Hi Gary what did you think of Manchester in general? @@GaryEats
Enjoyed it mate. Nice city.
Now that's what chips should be like. Using a good quality waxy spud. Booths supermarket sell these pies, and the c and h are amazing. Glad you mentioned the tarragon, as I didn't know what it was. 👍👍👍
No problem at all, and thank you for your comment
Looks tasty , nice portion and seemed good value for what you paid. I’d of slapped a dollop of mustard bang in the middle .. hahaha .. good video !! nice venue too !👍👌👌👌
Your right James a good English mustard 😊
Another honest review, and because of your review of mother mash at Covent Garden we ate their last weekend and absolutely loved it. Thanks!
That’s absolutely fantastic to hear Kevin thank you for letting me know 👌
That looked fabulous, and perfect winter food! Think that if you have gravy, you want the bowl, and a plate would suffice if you were just having Pie & Chips etc.
Completely agree Marky thank you for commenting 👍
I've just recently discovered your excellent channel. I'm glad you enjoyed the pie. We went a couple of years ago. I had the nicest pie I've ever had. It was a 4 or 5 cheese pie. Washed down with a pint of Titanic Cherry Porter. These pies are proper delicious. Your bang on about the quality of pastry and that gravy! I'm looking forwards to binging though your back catalogue of videos. Cheers.
Thank you so much. That sounds delicious Alec
Looked fantastic!
I agree with the bowl/plate situation, however, I would have just wiped the coffee spoon and dug in!! Then again, what if the bottom of the spoon went "SWEGGY"😂
keep up the good work Gary, love your channel 👏
New word ? I know I’m a muppet, thanks for watching and commenting 👍
Firstly a great find Gary and your review…….I’m going too give it a ten out of ten , it’s dam impossible not too , Mt thoughts for what they’re worth , I personally like it served in a bowl , excellent presentation, Pastry looked en point , 25 a% Winter Discount love it , minus points Mash , Gravy and chips cost more than the Pie , if it’s onion gravy it should be choc a bloc with roasted onions , I’m sure it tasted nice , but onion gravy has got to have roasted onions , I agree with your score thou , thoroughly deserved , thanks Gary 👍
Thank you Petrus. All the best mate.
That looked absolutely fantastic a really tasty pie with excellent gravy and mash. Add to that the chips and it's a 9. Great vlog.
Glad you enjoyed it Colin thank you 🙏
I think I'd like to go on a pie tour of the UK! Keep those pie reviews coming!
That sounds like a great idea, Jeremy
Nice easy watching and a little bit of humour with the cameraman's chips. A great watch, which is interesting but also quite soothing and relaxing, if that makes any sense at all. Look forward to the next one 👍
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you 👍
Good choice Gary and great review as always , great camera work also, good to see the depth of the food.
Appreciated Matty thank you 😊
Looked very nice Gary. The pie is practically the national dish of Australia!
Best regards from Tassie.
Many thanks Anne 👍
Loved the music in the background, Pulp, James, would visit for music alone 🎶 Food looked pretty good as well
Ohhhh sit down proper Manchester tune 👍
That looked a top pie Gary! Prefect on a cold winters day! Them chips looked proper aswell! A proper portion 😂😂
It was Matty 😂😂
That was a pleasing looking meal, with good marks awarded. Thanks for taking us along 😊
Glad you enjoyed it
Gary, another wonderful presentation. What a hearty, stick to your ribs meal that must have been. This one really does make me think you've got the greatest gig going. Well done.
Indeed. Haha, thank you. They're not all that great!
Yet another great review about a fantastic pie restaurant. Pie and those chips have to be one of my favourite kind of meals. 👍
It’s one of mine too 👍
Ooh so much to talk about in this video Gary. Strange blend of interior. Part industrial, part modern smart,the table light fabulous. Simple menu.Meat Pies ! Its what it says on the door. If you have a limited menu,it must be good, and yours looked brilliant. Two parts on this bit ,my POV .Plate over bowl ( most times)Gravy ❤ but sold as an extra is outrageous 😢. If requested at the start of the meal,added to the plate. Or in a Gravy boat. But the Gravy is part of the meal. CTP's chips. Knockout. Could have been cooked in lard or dripping. Also, not over washed. The natural starch in the potatoes helps the colour. Price wise a wery good deal apart from the Gravy 😢 Still onwards & upwards Allan&Family
All the best Allan.
Food looked good gary. Nice place to. Price was very good. You certainly enjoyed the food. Thank you for the review 👍👍
Thanks for watching really appreciated 👌
Ooh now that all looked yummy🎉..i like salt on my mash,but its perhaps good choice that they leave it out as my 2 girls do not have salt with or on their mash..good to have a choice...honestly that made me hungry...my old dad always had a spoon to finish his gravy..🎉 ty Gary for sharing..great as always 🎉
Really pleased you enjoyed it thanks for watching and commenting 👍
Tremendous value plus a 25% discount is even better. I think I prefer the bowl because it contains the gravy better than plate - although you should be given a spoon! Chips looked greasy and limp though take your word on their good flavour. Always like to support family-owned businesses - never chains. Great review as ever Gary!
Great point and thank you for your kind comments 😊
I’ll be going here on Friday after your review, by the way I went to the place called This & That as you recommended, it is excellent value for money and delicious curries.
Thanks once again, Gary 👍
That is fantastic to hear, Mike. Thank you very much for letting me know.
That pie was on the money, glad you are now feeding Mr CM but only after you have stolen all the good chips 🍟 😮lol😂, great review once again.
Thank you George I know I’m naughty 😂😂
Loving this review, Even with the very generous discount I still think that plate of tucker is good value for money, the fact that it is butter pastry shows that the owners are not skimping on quality ingredients, the vast majority of pies out there are made with pastry made with veg oil or margarine, Butter may be more expensive to use but gives a better texture and taste, thanks Gary, Gav
Thanks Gav. All the best.
Now that's a proper pie❤And the chips looked like proper home made not frozen rubbish😉 Another fab reveiw guys🙌 bowl ,plate I couldn't care I would be to busy tucking in🤣 sweggy🤷♂ is that a Gary word🤣🤣🤣Discount the bill wow good on em that will get folks in👍
I’m really good with my words Ian….. not…. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍
Great video again, the pie, mash and gravy are traditionally servered in a bowl, as they would of been in a cook shops. The pastry is made with Therlmere water... And it makes the best pastry.. Thank you for sharing...
Great information John thank you 😊
Gary, it's no problem, I,m a Lancashire lad , so I can connect with your experience up here, I,ll give you one recommendation, try a steak pudding from "Guys Hamlet" it's a great place at Billsborrow j32 M6 , it's a pub and hotel but its a replica of a medieval village, set on the canal side, they keepba gsntastic pint of Timothy Taylors Landlord, check it out, and treat yourself, I,m notjing to do with the place, its one of out day of t targets, DO NOt, go on a Sunday, all the best John.
Lovely presentation looking a lot better than the last place
Good sized pie and filling chips are looking good also 9•5 out of ten
Thank you so much 😊
Your videos bring a sense of comfort to me having just lost both my parents whithin the space of two months! Thank you Gary keep up the good work 👏
sorry for your loss
@bad_dog4648 thank you
I'm extremely sorry to hear that Marcus. I wish you all the best, if you need anything - just email me.
@GaryEats thank you Gary very much appreciated 🙏 just keep making your great video's for us all to enjoy
I will do. All the best to you.
Wow looked great. I am a huge fan of what we call pot pies. I would love that. Nice vid.
Thanks for watching!!
Another great review Gary! I always look forward to them.
At home I like a bowl because I’m clumsy and it’s easier to keep away from my cat who tries to inspect all my food, but not for food that requires a knife. You’re right that is awkward. One thing I really appreciate about Chinese food is that it comes in bite size pieces. It goes straight from the takeout container into a bowl for me.
Thanks Jean.
Can’t wait to try this place Gary . Thank you for highlighting it ….as always …a brilliant review
My pleasure you will enjoy 😊
I like the bowl idea.. keep it swimming in the gravy, although as a northerner, I’d be happy with pie & gravy served however! Great work as always Gary.
Thank you very much
Another great place, Gary! It sure seems delicious and I can only imagine that gravy...
It was perfect gravy, and a lovely restaurant 👍
