Was this worth it?
Comment below 😀
Awesome, nothing fishy about that
@@milesbrown8016 was the fish + chips fried in beef dripping ?
Ya Welcome Sir 👍👍 oh try listening to a band called Sleep Token 👍👍
You looked like you were enjoying it! Fish and chips are one of those things that there's plenty around that aren't very nice, but if you find somewhere that does them good, then it can be amongst the best food in the world.
Great video!
@@chriscoughlan5221 That's my long standing bugbear. Around me they all use that shite veg oil stuff. No ta. Only when i'm half cut will i risk 'em.
I live 10 miles away ,it’s the only place I have fish and chips ,both in restaurant and take away ,you missed out on the Gerkins and Pickle onions ,the beauty of the restaurant is that you are not rushed out of your chair,
As a Teenager in Nottingham at the pub we use to have pickle onion swallowing competitions ..
I'm a vegetarian of 38 years so I don't know why I like these shows but I am addicted. Keep it up mate. 🙏👍
Try man vs food
daily delivery from Billingsgate Fish Market. They open at 5pm and close when they run out of fish. As you can imagine t try here always a queue to get served. The prices obviously differ. Large or small portions, Skate is expensive by chippy standards. But a large Cod or Haddock and chips comes in at around £8, Huss comes in at around £6.50. On a Friday ? You can have free curry sauce or mushy peas thrown in.
The guy in charge of frying makes his batter the day before and is about 70+ years old. He is really old school and loves his job.
What more could you want ?
Hi from super warm Los Angeles 🙋♀️
Now THAT, was a plate worth the money! Gorgeous! It was especially nice to see proper chips instead of fries!
The whole meal was fantastic!
Another fantastic video - thank you so much for this! thoroughly enjoyed your review as always.
Thanks 😀
About 13+ years ago I visited Egremont, Cumbria and had cod and chips in the small High Street. The cod was twice the depth of this one but not as wide and similar in length, same style of chips, yet only around £5 or £6. It was to die for 👍
I noticed that its probably machine filleted . For a fish that length it should have being twice as thick as that . Dont want to sound negativve, still looks nice . See a lot of this machine filleted fish , frozen on board the boats . Seems a waste .
In New Zealand back in the 60s on Fridays for 1 Schilling or 10 cents you could get 2 fish a scoop of chips + scraps (the batter that came of the fish) the fish & chip shops in those days, that's all they sold and u helped your self to the vinegar. 😀😀😀😀
Hi from Christchurch 🎉
Back in the day we used to go to Murgatroyds as a treat and then take our food to watch the airplanes land and take off at the little car park at the end of Leeds/Bradford airport runway. Great times! great chip butty they do also
I should have done that with my takeaway
@@everydayimeating3407 it's at Yeadon cemetery car park around a 5 min drive from Murgatroyds , the cemetery is right at the end of the runway (daft place to put a cemetery) it's a great spot to watch the planes land and take off though. I highly recommend it, popular amongst plane enthusiasts🙂
On reflection, the cemetery was probably there before the airport! 🙄
I noticed right away it was a fish knife. A bit of a rarity these days. EvenTom Kerridge at Harrods at £37 for fish and chips doesn't give you that.
That Harrods fish and chips is becoming a legendary tale now. The Qatar owners do not care
And he only gives you 6 to 8 chips with his rip off prices.
In America that's a butter knife
@@mindysuarez1699 In the UK a butter knife is something different again. A butter knife has just has a very rounded tip. A fish knife has more of a point.
Most people only know dinner knife, and steak knife...
I'm the lucky owner of a large selection of cutlery.
Fish knives and forks are a must when you eat a lot of fish.
A fish server as well.
Being Scandinavian, some of my cutlery might be regional though.
Like the herring fork.(Swedish)
And the cheese "plane" (ostehøvel = Norwegian)
When you say fresh tartare sauce, unless it says homemade tartare sauce, the sauce they give you in a ramekin is out of a jar, exactly the same stuff as in the sachets
Not always, we have a chippy that makes their tartare sauce fresh and you can tell the difference from home made and “😊shop bought'
watching with captions it priced at £262 lol , looked so good , must have a trip across and try that out , thanks as always for the balanced reviews you do such a good job
You are making go hungry here in Nigeria 🇳🇬. thanks a million sir, i feel like traveling down to the UK
Looks like I have a 4 hour return journey ahead of me just to try this monster of a fish.The fish I buy from the local chippy is more like the size of a sardine in comparison.
Blimey, i was only gonna have a tin of soup for dinner, but i got so hungry watching that i had to dart straight to the chippy!
Looks amazing but I would always go for cod - I prefer the much bigger flakes of fish that fall away when cod is cooked well. Haddock is OK but is generally a thinner piece and the flakes much finer. This was a huge piece though!
I had the giant Cornish pasty from Philps bakery Cornwall around four years ago. Judging by the video it was approximately the same length of the haddock and cost £25 at the time. This meal is definitely worth the price comparatively.
I need to try that Cornish pasty!
@@everydayimeating3407You can have them sent to you,I’d suggest Over The Top pasties, Calstock.
I wouldn’t recommend Ginster’s pasties though.
Personally i dont think you can beat Mother Hubbards, I know its a chain. The large fish & chips costs £11.95 and the smaller Traditional costs £9.95
Even though the curry sauce, mushy peas were extra. i think it was good value, the big fish&chips was more than enough for me, in fact i´ll probably share them with my wife next time i go!! The fish is die for, and the chips are pretty good to!
Having said all that, as i live abroad, its unlikely i´ll ever get to visit that place in your video.
Great video anyway, keep up the good work!!
I visit occasionally living 10 or so miles away. I tried this and couldn't finish it ! But absolutely delicious
I had this from here last week for the 1st time ever and I can confirm it’s definitely the biggest fish I’ve ever had . Was very nice but enormous
White fish in batter cooked the British way has no flavour to it other than cooking oil, therefore how can it be nice?
Respect to the cooks that prepared it
That looks very nice, making my mouth water. Recently went to Padstow and visited Rick Stein's chip shop, the fish was'nt that big , but everything was cooked to order and it was probably the best cod and chips i have ever tasted. That said, that would happily go down a treat from how you have described it.... :)
There's plenty of fish and chip shops in my town but it's challenging to find one that really hits the spot. That meal look absolutely delicious.
We love it at murgatroyds, their fish and chips are to die for.👍👍
They're some of the best I've ever had!
Lovely Venue, Fish & chips one of my most favourite of meals & this one looked absolutely amazing!! Lovely crispy batter to fish certainly the largest I've ever seen generous size portions with everything! Pleased you managed the butty , well worth what you paid.Lovely to see you as always, thank you for sharing take care 💜 XX
😮😂The only thing missing was oval shaped plates to accommodate the fish so it wasn't hanging over the edges! 3 slices of bread too and 2 or 3 cups of tea. Really that was 2 meals in one. Order it and go halves with a mate. 😋
That what i would do next time lol
That looked delicious thanks for another great video mate hope too see some £50 challenges now the weather is picking up 🎉🎉
Thanks 👍
Yes I like those too 👍
What a generous meal! It all looked delicious, although I do love a wedge of lemon with my fish as well. Also loved the vintage teapot and the fact that they gave you a proper fish knife.
It was the perfect meal!
Suppose that's the only thing they can cook😂😂😂😂😂
can't beat chips with lashings of salt and vinegar then dipped in curry sauce heaven on a plate and that make of tar tar sauce is spot on they make some excellent sauces
It's absolutely worth it!👏👏 I love the English accent!!😂
Well what you had was fish & chips meal for two people(it was so large) and on that basis the £26 was ok, otherwise too expensive + with the bread and butter too i would need a take away bag also or else simply order that large meal for two to eat! I could see the nice quality also. Another 9/10 place to put on my list around Leeds and walking distance to a local weatherspoons too😅
Murgatroyds care, you can tell that by their responses to the few negative reviews. It's a rarity, a large successful business getting it right 99% of the time. Just up the road from me, they took the business away from Harry Ramsdens, a classic big business buy out failure and it's successor should learn from Murgatroyds instead of leeching off the past.
Predecessor*
That was some portion of haddock with a crunchy batter look delicious. What intrigued me was the Premier whitby scampi at I believe £18.95p, Id like seen Premier whitby scampi dishes up as rather expensive I thought. My fish man supplies me Whitby scampi which is very nice but I haven't considered it as Premier. Like see you try that another occasion EIE to satisfy my curiosity how it's served up in what is very nice looking restaurant. Unfortunately I not local to Leeds area as id certainly head there .
CORRRR .. that looks amazing! I'll have to try it sometime! I'm actually thinking of taking my Dad who had a stroke a couple of years ago. Mainly wheelchair bound now. Looks like they have reasonable disabled access and a good car park! Thanks for the video! Love how you added the curry sauce to the butty! That's something I would do haha! Now I am salivating!
DISGUSTING!
Living in the Midlands I miss proper Yorkshire fish and chips done in beef drip. That looked great.
"Beef drip" sounds like something from the hip hop world.
In the 80s and early 90s, this was how most chippies in our area were. They did 3 sizes, small medium large. This size was the large and was £2.20. the small was £1.20 and the medium £1.75. And they all came with chips, scraps and your choice of peas beans gravy or curry. But now, the small from back then is what you get if you order large today, and that will cost £7.50 WITHOUT chips. They all used to cook in beef dripping back then aswell and they tasted amazing, whereas now some of the local chippy's use a mix of veg/corn oil and ghee which isn't that nice to be honest.
Was that in Craiglang? ;)
That looked sooo good ! Im not sure I would have gone with the curry sauce , maybe another pot of mushy peas , but the huge pot of tea and the bread and butter meakes it . haddock is a fantastic replacement for Cod tho. Only down side ....whilst its "salt and vinegar" everyone knows that vinegar goes first so the salt sticks to the chips rather than being washed off .
Where was this place again ?
Top Vid my friend !
I live 1000's of miles away😂 and went to Murgatroyds and DID NOT DISAPPOINT!! 😋🥰 Yummmm, had fish, chios and my favorite mushy peas!
That looks tremendous mate!! Brilliant video. 👌
After over 40 years in Australia still miss my Yorkshire fish and chips hope to be able to pop in later this year
That's a proper fish and chips as Murgatroyds is a top notch place. Miss the in-car food reviews, though and would like to see them again.
I don't like fish, but when I'm back in Scotland, I DO like a fish supper. The best ones are, for 50 years, from the Plaza Cafe in Ardrossan.
It was worth it I think. Perhaps 2 plates for 2 people for that fish. Great review.
Definitely too much for one regular person lol
It looked a nice restaurant, nice and bright and clean with nice decor. The fish and chips looked amazing, I only have a couple of comments, i would have preferred a bigger plate plus the batter on the bottom looked a bit soggy
Reminded me of going to Harry Ramsden's when they were popular about 30 years ago. Any how, that looked delicious. All the best to you
I don't want to eat Aussie fish and chips now! I want the giant British version!
It looks delicious 😋❤
That is a fabulous price, what a meal. And what a video. Well done
That looked amazing, last time I had a piece of haddock that big was years ago in Whitby. A bit pricey for me though being on a forces pension of 350 quid a month.
It’s awful our retired forces only get that a month , 80 quid a week ? That’s awful. Thanks for your service anyway sir
@@Cheesybellend Thanks but it's because I only did 11 years of which 9 years and 100 days were pensionable, roll on 2028 when I qualify for my state pension (if the rules don't change again).
Wow what a fish that was! Envious of that fish & chip butty! All the best ….Smithy
The fish and chip butty was amazing!
Worth every penny!
Great content what a lovely fish and chips that was . my first time watching your channel .
That looked yummy, the fish was huge ! Abit pricey but as you took some home then maybe not too bad. Ty for staring 🎉and glad it was a butty and not a sandwich, that just doesn't sit right 😂
One of the BEST Meals Ever is Fish and Chips ❤❤❤
That fish WAS so amassing, hope YOU had a good time. 😊😊😊👍👍
That looked delicious....nice mushy peas good looking chips. That fish! Enjoyed this vlog a lot. I think the price was worth it.
It was!
Deep fried fish cooked the British way has virtually no flavour to it other than cooking oil, thus is far from delicious.
Seems you aren't British. That's exactly how we want our fried fish to taste. If you want to cook it another way, it would no longer be British fish and chips. @@HELL-BENT74
@@mizread You want your Fish & Chips to have virtually no flavour?; no wonder British savoury meals are considered to be some of the worst.
@@HELL-BENT74 what a ridiculously rude and arrogant snob you are. I've eaten at some of the best restaurants in many countries. I'm also an accomplished cook in different cuisines. I've lived in several countries. The whole point of fish and chips is biting through the crunchy batter to reach the tender and flaking fish, making for a melange of opposites in texture and flavour that work in perfect harmony.
I always have takeaway at about £10 now, well worth it they are the best for several miles around.
That was definitely worth the price. I reckon it could feed two people i would definitely buy it.
It could feed a small family lol
Totally worth it, been here when been up north before but still a shame they have no vegan/lactose free options but have stuff for vegetarians/people with gluten intolerance!
Lovely food but many Fish + Chips cater for all people!
Greetings from Buffalo New York that meal looks really good fish is big but looks so good
I've been a subscriber for a long time and I still don't know what this guy's name is. Anybody know? I love all of his videos.
Go to Drake's in York (Lower Petergate) and ask for "The Jumbo". Haddock.16 inches long. Great chips too.
That's a decent portion of fish and chips enjoy and was great value as well
I don't know how you managed it but it looked delicious
British savoury meals are never delicious, in fact British savoury meals are some of the blandest, including Fish & Chips, straight out of a deep fryer they just taste of cooking oil
That was Value for Money definitely the size of the fish and they are amazing Fish and Chips from Murgatroyd's also Curry Sauce and Mushy Peas make the meal even better
Where is it located , what city?
OMG I am so hungry right now for fish and chips love your videos keep them coming
Ditto ! 😤
Bread and a bit of butter will do for now ! 😅
It looked fantastic and I would say the price you paid was spot on.
The price was pretty good
Why am I watching this when I'm hungry? 😀
Ditto !
Love this channel Bro ❤️ 👍👍
Thanks 😀
Yes, it was worth it!!
Curry sauce.? Since when did curry have anything to do with fish and chips. I love curry.....but with fish and chips?
I live on the doorstep of this lovely fish and chip shop 💯👍
So jealous! Yum yum yum! Hungry!
I love your vids!
The fish and chips looked amazing. I thought it would have looked better on a large oval plate. Also I thought the mushy peas could have been a bit runnier
We are looking to go there in August the day before going on holiday from leeds Bradford airport and I will be getting thay big whopper. Hope to finish it as well and I will definitely go in with an appetite. BTW, did you book a table as some reviews say they had to wait a long time to be seated.
It's a shame not all fish and chip places do this. In Cornwall, the portions are tiny and they seem to get smaller and smaller each year, but the prices go up and up. Portions are definitely bigger up country.
that was a big meal Chris cant believe u at it all mate
I really liked your fish, chip and curry sauce butty. It's just that... it's haddock. Nearly everything on that menu was haddock. But cod is so much nicer.
Evening, I'm sure at least 80% of U Tube food vlogers have been to Murgatroyds. And as of yet, not a bad review 😊 But one more can't hurt, can it? Well no it can't 😊 A massive chunk of fish😊My preference is for a nice bit of cod or plaice. Or as a special treat Skate Wing 😊But your Haddock looked the bizzo. Crisp, crunchy batter gave such a beautiful soundtrack to eating. As you said proper old-fashioned chippy chips. As a southern boy, can't be doing with curry sauce, but I'll give you mushy peas. It maybe the lighting, but I thought the fish, shown doubled up looked a tadge gray😢however, top shots looked fantastic. When serving such large portions of fish, a larger plate would have been better 😊I do wish, when serving bread&butter they'd leave them uncut,better butties 😊Tea seemed a good brew. £26.20p value for money .Bit of a journey to the restaurant for a London lad😢But never say never mind 😊Allan&Family
First food blogger that I have seen at Murgatroyds at all, but I must admit that his review is spot on. I would like to add that they do have an off sales counter because they do sometimes get customers that want to dine in having to wait for a free table, but if you are willing to dine outside or in your own vehicle you can get a faster service. I live on the far side of Bradford from this location so I don’t often get to go to Murgatroyds but I do enjoy it when I do get there.
£26 ……is a lot for a meal …….i would have probably shared it with a starter.! But it certainly looked good ! 😊❤
Awesome video. Had to force myself to not lick that screen. Looking forward to seeing more
😂😂😂😂
Fish & Chips used to be a Friday treat in the UK part of our history, can't afford it now sad.
I'm picking my grandson up tomorrow from Chester and we are heading for Murgatroyds 85 miles away to try the BIG UN x 2. The fried fish where we live are minnows in comparison. My stomach is grumbling with just the thought.
What you mentioned at 00:46 was unclear to me. Can you please type it ? What is the name of that chair ?
The subtitles say "boobs" 🤣 should be "booths"
@@DavidFranklandthank you 😊
at first i thought it was a bit pricey but actually with the tea and bread curry sauce and peas included its a bargain
OHhhh....Tea Bags! Got me there - loose leaf please! Fishy and Chippys AMAZING. Enjoy your everything. TA - for sharing. NICE.
They look lovely
I love fish & chips and the Butty is fab 👏🏼👏🏼
I am British and Fish and Chips is our Friday best choice
That was a HUGE fish!
It was massive!
curry sauce on fish? where do you come from? - or are you a relative of danny from rate my takeaway!
Nice vlog, thank you for sharing
fish and chips is a lovely meal, whoever invented it deserves a gold medal
Considering that was basically two portions, eat in for £23 it seemed well worth it at todays prices.
I love Fish and Chips with Mushy Peas or Curry Sauce it's the BEST
That meal looks scrumptious!!!! I would inhale everything on that plate!👍🏻
Where is the tarter sauce? Is that not a thing where they are from?
Fantastic could just eat that. Don’t get any like that in australia
