- The MacMaster returns to Whitby to Review A Fish and Chip Shop. After his last visit where he told Whitby to Hang Your Head in Shame after reviewing some disgraceful Fish & Chips at The FIsherman's Wife and ending up causing quite a controversy with the Locals of Whitby and outrage with the people of Yorkshire. The review even ended up in the local press. A year has passed and it's time to return even though The MacMaster was told he was not welcome back in the North Yorkshire Seaside Town of Whitby and never to come back. Whitby this is your last chance to heal the shame and embarrassment. Heads up I also got caught filming!!!!!

All looks set up? The girls looked really awkward 😂
Embarrassingly so!!!!
I used to buy fish n chips before the prices got silly. As a British pensioner, I just can't afford today's prices.
This place is absolutely disgusting.
Regardless of the food quality, those snotty girls gossiping about you in the background, researching and harassing a paying customer sat eating his meal!!!
How about putting some more effort into making sure everything is up to standard, then you wouldn't have to worry yourselves about people filming.
I cannot believe she had the absolute cheek to utter the words "Who are you!?"
Disgraceful. The owners and staff themselves should be ashamed.
Vile people.
Hats off Mac. Great work.
Thanks Ant. However in their defence I have been back since and they are really nice they were probably a bit worried I was gonna give em a bad review and their boss would tell em off. Have to say bloody good FIsh and Chips. If you get chance try em out. It’s now mine and Sarah’s go to place for fish and chips in Whitby. :0) Hope you are well my friend. Lee
@@TheMacMaster
Credit to you mate for this mentality. However if they were truly proud of their produce and service, there would be absolutely nothing to worry about here, and people with cameras would be welcomed with open arms.
The fear of getting told off for a bad review should be a daily driver towards excellence, and a reason to provide top tier service at all times, not an excuse to behave in this way.
For me its just snobbery, and and an attempt to put themselves on a pedestal.
Not my cup of tea.
I like a business who appreciates and values every customer who chooses to spend their hard earned cash in that establishment.
But still, awesome video, keep it up! 😃
Its very easy to be 'nice' when things are going your way, everybody is polite and complimentary of your food, tells you how wonderful you are, and dances to your beat!
Not so easy when you want to challenge them though it seems.
Definitely more Johnny English than James Bond trying to film in the restaurant. 🤦🏻♂️
Everything looked great, apart from the acting 😅
Just re watched this video and I must say the way they handled the situation was pure rude! Sat staring, interrupting whilst u was eating, I think ur amazing lee, been watching every night for over 2 years, and u should be allowed to air ur own opinion, keep up the good work xxx
£14 -£16 for fish n chips no wonder chippies are shuttin down, thats ridiculous pricing honestly
They looked like frozen chips.
The chips look like catering chips from a bag. The peas look like tinned ones which is why they probably tasted weird.
Not going to lie but think that was a bit staged lol
A bizarre theory. To achieve what exactly?
Totally agree with you. Tried most of the fish and chip shops in Whitby and Mr Chips is my favourite so far faultless and friendly staff. Fisherman's Wife is one of the worst I have been to. Complained about our chips gave us another portion which were exactly the same all hard like they had been refried. Trenchers is good but is more expensive. Love the Channel.
Should have used the same disguise that you used for the palace cafe. 😆
The great captain Cook, worked in a shop in his teens, and started his sea apprenticeship in whitby. Such amazing history....Mister chips, looked perfect, it's a 10. 10 from me, in fact I'll come over to UK and go 2 whitby, with my wife...... Great vlog again, thank you for your time mac...... 😊😊😊🏴🇫🇷🇫🇷
He sailed back and fore to East London for 3 years on a apprenticeship. Delivering coal around 1748 AD.. 😊🇫🇷🇫🇷
Dunno why they get so worked up about it, if it's bad it's bad, take it as a chance to improve.
I’m not convinced. They knew it was you from the beginning.
My experience with Whitby's Fish & Chips was underwhelming when I was there for a week (on business) in the late 1980s. I tried 4 or 5 and remember being disappointed and miffed that the town operated as a tourist trap, allowing quality to be forsaken in favour of making a fast buck from out-of-town customers. Glad to see that Whitby has redeemed itself with what looked and sounded like (crispy!) superb fish & chips. I'd have given it 10/10., my only hesitation being its pricey cost. I know of outstanding fish & chips in affluent North London for more or less the same cost, with one fish & chips eatery in Edgware providing the best fish & chips I've encountered of late for £2 or £3 less than your total.
Don't know if it's just me but £17. Family of four that's nigh on £70 for what look's like a not a massive meal. Perhaps it's just me.
Exactly. Rip off prices in Whitby and they wonder why folk go abroad.
It's not just you mate. It looks restaurant quality, but at the end of the day, I'm pretty sure most chippy's would offer all that for half the price. Think for what Lee had there would come to around £8-£9 near me.
@@gunnerafc4443 I'm on the road a lot and tend to grab a bite whenever wherever i can. And now post covid, i am firm in the belief that many, many food outlets are on the claw back, if you get what i mean. And something i'm increasingly finding, like in this video, are the add ons. Recently in a cafe in London, ordered a filled bap. Was asked if i'd like salad in the bap (?) and some crisps on the side. Why not, yes please. Finished up, went to pay and the £5 bap turned into £9.50 i kid you not. The 'crisps on the side' turned out to be a handful of chips (£3) and the salad consisted of a lettuce leaf and a slice of watery tomato (£1.50). I'm a straight talker and told the owner what i thought as if he cared. Now i'm making my own food and saving an absolute fortune.
Very expensive. I got a large cod and chips for £7 a few weeks ago in Skegness.
I always thought that everything was cheaper in the North! I am somewhat surprised at the cost of fish & chips in this video
I'll protect you from them. I'm from Warwickshire, my husband is from Lancashire and we both found the Fish and Chips at the Magpie Cafe yuk!
Lancashire me too 👍🏼
You only put salt and vinegar on Fish and chips
Glad I'm a lifelong vegetarian. Those prices are crazy £13+ maybe I'm just a cheapo but it seems very expensive.
28:59 - 'I've just looked you up'. The explanation that she went off and 'had a look for that guy on TH-cam' was pretty unconvincing. If you genuinely don't know a customer and you see them chatting to a phone (no crime in that), aside from being nosy you'd have to be remarkably effective at searching online, or incredibly lucky, to almost instantly discover their identity (what did she do, type in 'Bloke filming on phone' and seconds later Lee's TH-cam channel popped up? 'Bingo!').
Just googled "whitby fish and chips vlogger" and Lee was the top result.
@@johntatchell3624 I think you're projecting too much information on to someone who was supposed to simply be curious about a customer on a phone.
I loved the look of everything with that meal except the chips, they looked like frozen ones to me. 9/10.
As a local i stopped going to Mr Chips years ago....went from my favourite chippy to an overpiced tourist trap.
It’s ironic they threatened to BATTER you..thank cod they didn’t!
Looks like oven chips..
You've just been mentioned on Yorkshire live website, they seem to think Whitby has been vindicated by your good review. I think your review just shows some shops are pulling their weight. I knew you would find a good chippy on that side of the bridge as that's where I go when I visit after having disappointing ones on the touristy strip that has magpie restaurant. Great video bud👍
Lol oh my god mate I don’t think I’ve ever been so nervous watching a video like I have this haha🤣😂🤣😂. So god knows how you must have been feeling 😂🤣. Fair play for doing this. The food looked really nice to be fair. A bit on the expensive side I thought but glad you enjoyed. I’ll give it a 9.4/10. Great review as always mate👍🏻
When he realised he was caught whilst saying “or my cover’s blown” and she heard it all 😂
That was like watching a school play with that acting
I've watched I'm sure WELL over 100 MacMaster videos & never skip the intro.... Why did I just think a cop was outside during the intro now? 😂😂
just cost to much just think of mam and dad going in with to kids ££££££
Whitby holds a special place in my heart (as I'm sure it does for many other Northerners), having gone for holidays there as a young lad, and always love going back there. It can be, however, a bit of a tourist trap. As you rightly say, Lee, The Magpie is very expensive. I definitely recommend The Magpie, but if there's a queue out the door (as there often is), I certainly wouldn't wait.
I'll give Mr Chips 10/10, based on the meal you had. You just can't beat cod. Lovely crunch of the batter, chips looked spot on, as do the sauces. I'd prefer my bread pre-buttered, but won't take any marks off for that. The meal was priccey, but again, it's Whitby, and you expect to pay more in a touristy area. Lovely waitress, and great venue. Spot on, Whitby! 👍
£14 for fish & chips? Have i just landed on a different planet?
It's Whitby famous for fish & chips
Superb video. You've found a gem there. Those fish and chips looked gorgeous! 10 times better than that other place you went to 'The Fishermans Wife'. It just goes to show the so called packed out best place to eat is not the best placee at all. There always happens to be another place just round the corner that is so much better but no one realises! So thanks for making us aware of Mister Chips, its brilliant. On a separate note, just for future reference, in my opinion, had you had been honest up front and said you were the MacMaster and I do vlogs of food reviews I reckon she would have let you carry on filming. But on this occasion it turned out all good anyway in the end. Cheers Mr MacMaster. 👍.
Prices are outrageous! Curry sauce? What? You are joking. Never, ever with fish & chips!
Curry Sauce is banging with fish and chips
Fish, potatoes, batter it's not that hard to get right. Haha.
That fish and chips looked gorgeous, but I'd have dropped a point cuz they stopped you filming. If they've nothing to hide why would they stop you.
Nice reminder of the town, was there last August up from London for a few days, also, there is a really good pie shop a few mins walk from the bridge!
The MacMaster almost rumbled, brilliant! Really had a laugh over that one. 🤣😂
Mr Chip's on Church Street
Is my favourite of all the fish and chips restaurants in Whitby
the food and service
Is fantastic
I was last there with my wife
on the weekend of the Regatta
ThIs place is my only choice and would highly recommend it.
Well done, Mr Chip's 😁👍
When we last visited Whitby about 10 years ago we ate in a big new fish and chip restaurant assuming the cod was locally caught. But was disappointed to be told by the server that all their fish was came from Iceland and was delivered to them frozen and none of their fish was caught in Whitby. The size of the fish on the plate looked massive but it had the thickest covering of batter I have ever seen, which grossly misrepresented the size of the fish inside. Very misleading and very expensive. So, you cannot assume all the fish they are serving in Whitby is locally caught.
Good shop I'm told. 👍 (Iceland ex-Bejam's)
Thats right Roy, Ive seen the delivery wagon that had come down from Scotland delivering the fish , You are also right in saying the tail end of the fish is cut so thinly that a third of the large fish that you have ordered is just batter
The fact that , that girl looked you up on youtube damm your cover or "lack of cover" was blown lol that was funny " Are you that guy from youtube?" "No, I am just filming for my Girlfriend"
Just noticed them at 25 mins sat in the back, watching you hold up the fish to camera to show your wife back in the states 🤣🤣
And the Oscar goes to.......
Lol lol good fun video Lee ..."Im on holiday from America," 🤣 nice fish n chips altho a bit pricey ...... we always go to the Angel Hotel overlooking the harbour from upstairs its a Wetherspoons and they do nice F n C there ... thanks Lee 😎👍
Best part of this is the class 37..
I loved it where you told her you were from America. I was watching it while having my tea and it made me laugh. Only Cristi l criticism I had was it took quite a long time to get into the actual chip shop and we were wondering whether you were going to get mugged and didn't actually get there ;) (only kidding). Glad you enjoyed the chips :)
Great Vlog , agree with you regarding the magpie , we have always used the one just up from the magpie and next to the amusements , I like it because you can have the cod with skin on with I prefer 👍🏻 as for the one you visited ( MR chips ) it looked a nice sized portion for a medium 👍🏻 and for info the train is a class 37 diesel👍🏻 I’m a retired railway man 😂😂
Meet up with me next time, we can get fish and chips together geezer
Phew...glad you liked them Lee, as I was one who recommended Mister Chips after your last visit & disappointment, awesome chippy 10 from us all the way👍
Brilliant video really enjoyed it! I’m from Southampton and take my family to Whitby once a year we have been to a few fish and Chips shops in Whitby my personal favourite is Mr Chips its one of the best. Love your videos they are a great watch. Xx
Love your American accent 😂.
Im from Middlesbrough, and have went to Mr Chips when visiting Whitby since I was a kid, lovely fish and chips. Great video.
Lee, this is the one episode that had me literally on the edge of my seat. I was as nervous as you were. At first, when you poured out that yorkshire tea it looked a beautiful colour; and it wad all good from that point. Yes, the girl was terrific about it. It looked like a 10 also from me.
Looked nice to be fair, my only reservations would be that I dont like to see 'staff' sat around doing nothing and also worrying about customers filming and being impartial with their opinions by filming events, to me, it shows a distinct lack of confidence in ones products and service. Its not somewhere I would use on principal alone.
Perhaps the staff didnt want the owners to see that the staff sit around chatting all day.
25:45, The Macmaster hears sirens and think that the Whitby fish police are coming to lock him up
With you with the magpie overpriced fish and chips and I queued up as well certainly had better
Yes never ate at the Magpis fish @ chips passed it at times but thanks for what you wrote about being overpriced and long wait.
Another brilliant one Lee, I could barely watch when you got busted. I have to say that fish and chips looked amazing. I cant believe that was a medium, the fish was massive! The chips looked the perfect chipper chips. 10/10 from me.
The ingredient in the Mushy Peas could be a splash of Vinegar or Lemon Juice I reckon.
Off subject but superman's glasses have a perception filter on them like the TARDIS
Yes Lee FYI, there is a Papas on Blackpool front and we are very happy with the quality and value from this establishment and also find the staff really friendly and helpful xx
Wow, I liked the essential details like menu, prices of items and so much things that you have shown.
Remeber when fish and chips was a cheap meal
Looked really nice. Will definitely consider a visit next time we’re in Whitby. We usually go to The Board Inn or Duke of York for lunches.
Definitely a ‘solid’ 10 😁
£16 ,you’d get two fish and chips and get change in my home town. Well over priced .
Love whitby 💙💛💙and leeds united
Dang! This was more stressful to watch than your endoscopy video! Brilliant stuff.
Whitby, Just rows of over priced car parks for gullible fish and chip eaters.
Everyone goes to the Magpie once, then if they have any sense never again. Liked the Quayside pre covid then was dissapointed post covid. There was a time when i would drive to Whitby just for fish n Chips. Now i can get the same mediocrity on my door step.
Mate all fish and chips everywhere is the same now. Honestly I think it's all just frozen ready chips and frozen fish, all fried in cheap vegetable oil. Nothing fresh, no dripping; just all ultra processed stoge.
@@Ricky-oi3wv unless your lucky...so easy too make at home though once you sussed the batter your laughing go fishmongers ask em when the fresh is coming in n your sorted
I've been to Whitby a few times when I was a kid 35 years ago. I remember my parents remarking it was expensive even back then...Whitby is one giant tourist trap!!
I live about 20 miles from Whitby & when I go there I only go to Mr Chips,best chippy in Whitby by a mile 👌👌
2:06 oh mY the way you said death threats 🤣🤣🤣 serious patriots up there lol
I would have said, I can record where I want, does the owner have something to hide??)
Unfortunately it is not legal to film wherever you want. In private property, and that includes restaurants, you need the permission of the property owner to film. You are OK in public places but with certain caveats, for example you must not harass people and you can be on thin ice if you film places that could be regarded as potential targets for terrorism, and filming children might lay you open to all sorts of accusations.
Personally I think it was quite sneeky of the staff member to go looking you up on TH-cam. If they have nothing to hide, or worry about, then what is the problem?. I still think Whitby needs to raise its game more, before it can raise its head.
Great shots of Whitby. Abbey side of the bridge definitely the best, the streets remind me of York a bit. Never tried Mister Chips but always liked the look of the shop, always busy even in the off season aswel which is usually a good sign 👍. We like the railway chippy a bit further on the road.
You had me jump back in surprise as well ! Elbow deep in the bikkie jar !…Heresy for some, personally I adore either slatherings of either Worcestershire, tomato sauce, or vinegar.
Haha wanted dead or alive. Reward large fish n chips on the house.
Mr Chips is where we take our Irish friends who love Whitby when they come on holiday never had bad fish and chips staff always pleasant they got a job to do and do it well 👨🏻🏭
Under the circumstances it beggars belief that you did not go for a takeaway and save yourself all the aggro.
Lol agree, it does ask the question was he invited!!!
Great video Lee. I was more nervous and I was watching on my telly. Got to admire you for going back to whitby. I don't think I could have done. Always welcome your opinion because you say it like it is. Food looked good definitely a 10. You do however have to work on the american accent lol.
'ERE I AM LUD 3am on a Friday morning suffering with UTI, in and out of the bathroom about 10 time so far, and watched your vid. EXCELLENT as were the fish n chips. We are down south in Bedford. I must tell you we went to Whitby especially to revisit a certain fish and chip restaurant before covid days only to fine they were shut for referb!
Our fav side of Whitby is the JADE SIDE where you could buy genuine jade jewellry and we fell into a 'high street' F&C restuarant - to far back to recall the name but surprised at how few customers were in as the food was better than that you had at Mr Chippy! I think.
I was in Whitby last week and paid ten pound for two ice cream cones. NEVER EVER go to Whitby without a sack full of cash.
We paid £10 for two ice creams in Rugby last week, they were certainly not worth it 😱😱😱 first and last time in that shop
Those looked good Lee.You got rumbled but it turned out OK. Been going to Whitby for many years and
like everything else in life we all have our favourites. I remember your review of the Fishermans Wife and
they did look diabolical. Never been to Mr Chips as i have always gone to The Quayside.
Maybe i will try there next time.
Thanks for the vlog.
Where is the tea plantation in Yorkshire?
Many awkward moments but added to the entertainment but the fish and chips on looks alone a 9.5
That's the most on edge I've seen you..I felt on edge watching lol
Ice cream wars now fish&chip wars lol
OK, Lee. That one's done to death. The haddock looked exceptional, incidentally.
The Magpie is overpriced and over rated. I have been once and ended up throwing up. Greasy and horrible. Never again
That pirate bloke looked like Bernard Hill dressed up like Captain Jack sparrow 😂😂
Tell you something, when the lady asked you to stop filming, l thought you were very nice and respectful, seen so many that refuse to stop as they think it’s their right, well done to you 🙂
Funny review! Thought it was staged at one point!😂 I live about 12 miles from Whitby and used to go to Mr chips years ago and they were spot on! Looks like it's changed owners and gone upmarket but the food looks quality! 👍
5/10, 1, menu too busy for a chippy, 2 chips looked like oven chips but fried. 3, the batter on the fish looked shop bought, 4 pestering from service, 5, the cheek of asking you not to film and the audacity to say she’s looked you up on TH-cam, nosey and bored at work in my opinion
Despite it been 20 degrees outside and everyone is having a BBQ, I really fancy Fish and Chips
Nice little cafe, price ok for dine in. Pleasant girl served you, she was probably acting under instructions from the 'boss' out the back in kitchen when she asked you to stop filming. I don't know what they are frightened of. The fish and chips and condiments looked fine to me, fresh, tasty, good portions. So an 8 from me, point or two deducted for their silly attitude to filming.
Another enjoyable video mate!
Loved when you said about not being spotted, and she heard some of your chat 😂
With the other waitress though, you should of just kept the same story as what you said before as you did mumble a few times lol
Also she might still of known who you were even if she didn't watch your TH-cam videos personally. but someone showed her your pics and what was said/read about you what happened!
Also I got your other message wrong as I read it too quick. And thought it was MRI then realised it was a colonoscopy so edited my message 🤦🏻♂️
Anyway when will you be going to Wimpy my friend-Onwards to that classic place!
Wimpy soon. 👍🏼
@@TheMacMaster Looking fwd to it mate 👍🏻
"We're right. You're wrong. Yorkshire, Yorkshire, Yorkshire."
This meal was good the magpie was shocking
@@mattfreeman124 I just meant generally, not in relation to the food. I'm quoting the 'Welcome to Leeds' sign.
I imagined the chef appearing from the kitchen with his knife after she recognised you lol
As an ex chippy owner until retirement in blackpool area , can i say that was a very fair review overall ,there are many grease holes around the country .. One of my pet hates was un eyed spuds & on spuds every chippy surch s for good potatoe s on a year around basis, good size spuds are hard to come by , on fish my local fish market was fleetwood but the quality was rubbish and I used to have scottish fish sent down for both the flavour & quality plus a good size, Whilst since retirement prices have gone up greatly I found that place overpriced for what you got and i noticed large fish £13-95 ?????? , simple pea s all come dried in a bag , soak overnight , keep em whole or mush them up a little , the curry also comes in a bag with fruit or without , and even the batter again comes in a bag but the owner adds his art to the mix, my favorite oil was frymax veg oil kind of upper quality over some of the cheaper smokie oils . The owning of a chippy is not an easy life how ever much the chippy hours are open the back prep area is double that time or more and on the day your closed its change the oil day and major pans cleaning. If they have 5 star ratings that at least says they are clean which is a good start. When in a strange area sneak around the back door -- is it clean and tidy , if not walk away fast .
