Fish ( Cod ) and chips cost nothing when I was growing up in the 60's 18 quid for fish n chips is nuts.
I am so pleased I found your channel I have a lot of health problems but am able to lose myself in your infectious enthusiasm and zest for life. I’m in a hospital bed but you divert my attention for precious . Moments in the day. You are such a genuine guy keep going we need you!
You keep going George sending you good wishes and hope your health improves a little mate.
@georgekaplan8839 here's hoping you feel better soon. 🙏🏼
Hi George, I hope that you're doing ok? So sorry that you're going through health issues. I too, am in a similar situation. I agree that Lee is fabulous, I can't get out and about, so watching Lee is like going out and about with him.
You take care.🤗
Murgatroyd was the name of a mascot on the UK TV series called Magpie which aired in the '60s and '70s and the name was suggested by a viewer, they invited their audience to write in with suggestions and Murgatroyd was the winning entry.
How incredibly interesting!
Hey Lee did you ever consider bringing your own knife and fork permanently for eating outdoors? Hello from Tipperary Ireland
BIGger isn't always necessarily BATTER 😃
My local. Was there today
That looks really nice Bud ❤❤Watching at 7am on Thursday and now feeling really hungry 🎉🎉
Damn thats huge, looks great, good value for money too.
Great review Lee
We visit Murgatroyds every couple of weeks and our favourite is the fish bites and chips. In full agreement and would highly recommend this place. More expensive to eat in but staff have been excellent so far. 👍
Hi, glad to see the Premier in the back ground. The wife and I will be coming over from Oz and meeting up with the wife’s Brother and Wife coming over from the US and also her younger Brother up from London in a couple of weeks.We normally stay at relatives but after 50 years there are not many close ones left. So we are getting together for a week at the Premier before going our seperate ways again . we will definitely be paying Murgatroids a visit while there. We have to do some scattering of the Mother in law’s ashes in the river Wharfe at Burnsall that’s why we’re all together. Harry Ramsdens is also close bye,although my Mother said they didn’t go there any more because if had “ gone off” Keep up the good work Lee the Wife and I are keen followers of your blog.
The largest cod caught was 212lb. They can grow to 51 inches.
Just posted cod can be 25 pounds fish is portioned. Chances of catching 212 again very slim over fishing.
As someone who used to work in a fish and chip shop this didn’t look like the best fish and chips. Batter looked burnt and the chips were terrible. Greasy and soggy with lots of scrag ends. I wasn’t there though but for what you paid I’d have expected much better.
Don't agree with some comments fish looked well cooked I give it 10 plus
Mate that looked amazing. I've heard a lot of people praising Murgatroids on Facebook groups and I'm not surprised. For the first time ever on your fish and chips vlogs, I'm giving a 10+. I really need to visit here. Thanks for sharing the video mate. 👍👍
Murgatroids is my favourite too ! For those unfamiliar with the area , it's in Yeadon , Leeds , and only one mile away from Leeds / Bradford airport , towards Bradford ; don't worry , still 6 miles from it .
It's basically two portions of fish and chips in the one box.
That being said did look excellent.
For me though, I'd have opted for what we call the "kiddies cone" of chips, and I would have had the chips in a separate box so they don't "sweat".
On a note about fish and chips generally, I tend to opt for a small portion. Not because of me being a light eater, on the contrary.
But it's because I have a low boredom threshold, and it gets boring quickly.
Everyone has their favourite, but I'm going to plug my mate Dave in The Craftsman pub in Qawra (Malta).
Best fish and chips on the island, and it's cod too, on an island where cod isn't easily available.
Read the reviews. First class.👍👍🇲🇹🇲🇹
A standard haddock and chips at Murgatroyds is more than enough for me. Highly recommended … with Mushy Peas and Yorkshire Tea of course
I'm living in the Philippines - flying back for a long vacation in September, and one of my first ports of call will be Murg's.
Living previously in North Yorkshire and traveling extensively in the UK, I still hold Mugatroyds in the #1 plaice (😂) in the length & breadth of Britain.
*CAN'T WAIT* ❗
Lee,I live in Ilkley now but Leeds born and bred and hands down this is the best fish and chips around,not far from Leeds Bradford Airport if people want a land mark.
I was here the other month with Dad and brother its great.
Very busy with coach parties and older folk but just fantastic.
Great job Lee! Next time I am in Leeds I will definitely give those guys a try - looked ace to me and I would scoff that lot in a heartbeat 😋
£17 is still a lot - £13-£14 is reasonable. £1.20 for mushy peas is a rip off, as usual. I would have expected pickled egg/onion/gherkin to be cheaper.
I live locally and we go regularly. Lovely food lovely staff clean and lovely restaurant interior. Always packed. I always go for the monster haddock. Never had a bad meal. People say it's pricey but it's excellent value especially compared to Gordon Ramsey's 😅
The Fish looked supreme and the batter sumptuously crispy..
Great Video Lee 👌🏻
The best fish and chips ever thank you for going best best best
Question When are you going overseas again I like Tenerife but Could u try a different canary island and compare it to Tenerife
Would've of split that into 2 meals, but a big no no was sticking the fish on top of the chips and prefer the 2 separate so stays crispy and not wet and limp chips 9/10
And the mushy peas in a silver dish .
Fish looked good but the chips seemed like there were a lot of scrag ends and they looked a bit soggy.
Yeadon, nr the airport?
While you were eating outside, a big red lorry went past in the background, possibly containing more fish for Murgatroyd's... but there would only have been room for two or three such fish.
I do love Irn Bru with chippy tea. Next best thing to dandelion and burdock which is the ultimate dream chippy beverage... :)
Hi Lee, I had a similar sized cop and chips at 'The Pump House' pub at Albert Dock in Liverpool once, the fish was so big it was served on a chopping board because they did not have big enough plates. The meal was lovely. I am stuffed just watching you eat 'Jaws'.
I've never been to Murgatroyd's but I'm certainly tempted to make the journey up there at some point to give them a go. To me, Upton coal fired chippy blows everywhere else away that I have ever visited, and some of those others have been excellent!
What they still use coal fired ovens. I thought they only existed in museums like Beamish and The Black Country Living Museum.
Oh my dear ...have you tried Marco's in Arbroath....one can sit outside the shop and watch the fish being unloaded in the harbour !! There is a restaurant yards away as well as the takeaway. So fed up I am in Yorkshire BUT blessed to have family close to this place ! Still I belong in Yorkshire and Whitby is just a couple of hours away !
Heard great things, looked epic, I don't know where you put it all!
It's YOOORRRKSHIRE! Of course it's done in beef dripping!
I'm a big eater not sure I would have finished all that well done Lee great video this
Amazing fish and chips MacMaster, when I’m up there next will definitely try my friend. I
Onward’s to the next one! 😎❤️xx
This place is the best, Yorkshire is definitely up there with the most best places to eat out
If your getting fish n' chips the only drink you should be having is Dandelion & Burdock. No if nor buts . It's practically law.
I always have a D&B with my F&C.
Took my wife to Saltburn by the Sea yesterday afternoon to try and get a table at the Seaview Restaurant but failed....massively popular since telly visited (Fred Sirieix visited with Nadya Hussain). Fall back position was takeaway from their chippy downstairs. Had Haddock n Chips and Whitby Scampi n Chips and went and scoffed em on the pier. I don't know how they do it but the fish tasted nothing like fish from an inland chippy. It was buttery, white as white can be and the batter (incl scraps) was perfect with perfect chips n peyz on't side. Definitely going back but will book a table next time.
10/10 for me Lee ... looked fantastic ...with batter that good I'll bet they do fantastic " Scraps" 😋
They are the best I've had in my life, I take my brother there when he comes up from Devon and he would come up here just for their fish and chips. I find the standard portion more than enough for me.
Meal was lovely nothing to complain about. I had big un partner had special.
Fully agree with the review however.
One thing I would say however is while we were sat eating waitress who seemed to be in charge was talking to couple next to us about a regular who was expected anytime and her table was ours. Wich felt a bit off as if she had booked it then we should not have been seated there.
On our exit the queue was out the door and the lady who wanted our table came in went straight past queue and said to waitress is my table ready and walked straight to it.
The people at front of queue said they had been waiting for there booked table but had to wait. I would like to say that they should not be prioritising to regulars if one person in queue had to wait then all should.
Not just allowing her to walk past long queue and be seated b4 others..
Made us feel rushed. 1st come 1st served. No special treatment should be given
Hello Lee.
I was super excited you were going to Murgatroyds. And that fish was massive it's madness. I can't believe you ate all that food. Your eyes are bigger than your belly. I have to say I was very impressed with the taste and price. Great vlog. 10 time 2.30 pm 😊😊
Banging,easy 10,nicely polished off Lee
Always call there after flying back from holiday to Leeds Bradford airport. It’s something I look forward to. Fish & chips are spot on
Our little local chippy does a large cod and small chips for £13. (Just gone up from £12) The fish is top quality and bigger than that one, and does us three adult meals. The chips does us four meals. And I am not telling where I live. (Not near the sea either.)
Hi Lee another cracking topical upload that looked fantastic I’ll give it a ten out of ten and I’ve never been there 😂 my favourite fish and chips ever is Yorkshire Fisheries Blackpool I have never tasted such well cooked fish and the chips are mind blowing to not mention the mushy peas and Curry sauce and I have tasted hundreds of different fish suppers during my life I’m 60 lol. I have to say tho that establishment must do a roaring trade it looked fabulous and weep cooked . Can’t wait I’m going to Blackpool on 21 sept till 25th for the Annual family weekend there me and the wife watch your channel regularly and really enjoy it .

Well cooked I meant typo sorry lol
Love Murgatroyds fish&chips not been for a while but they are delicious 😋
ok you got me convinced. i am to drive up form london, get this big fish,, des,
1) bigger is always better guys. 2) tell us more about the filters you use to make things look bigger, please Macmaster
Murgatroyds is one of my faves. Heading to Tenerife 2nd week of October will you be there?
Just proves there are still big haddock in the sea despite what the conservationists want us to think.
There are still big haddock in the sea because of the conservationists.....
They don't "want us to think" anything. They're just reporting facts. When reading Internet conspiracy theories ask yourself "what would they have to gain from lying about global warming?"
@beardmeatsfood please do a colab with Macmaster 💪 that would be amazing
Loving your TH-cam channel and your video lee
Yes I have seen this and it look amazing, was thinking of you lee while watching it and wondered if you will go. Now you have. ❤😂😂😊
Wow what a fish. You bloody legend mate
No porkies Lee [Ernie] but did you eat all that if so well done but half size half price will do for me . by the way i think beard would get a clean plate in less than 10 min and had a pudding.
Could possibly feed 2 or three people on that fish and an extra portion of chips.
Amazing size and a great price.😋😘
I had a much bigger cod in Scotland. I was doing a road trip 25 back and stopped at a chippy recommended by locals. ( Somewhere near Stirling). It was minimum 2 foot long and much broader than Murgatroids. The staff tried to warn me however I thought I could eat it. I ate just over half and was fit to explode.
I think i have mentioned Steels Corner House in Cleethorpes marketplace before Lee, The jumbo haddock and chips is fantastic and more than you can eat BUT that beats it, mate. If i am ever around Leeds i will definitely give it a go. As always stay safe mate.
Looked like you really enjoyed it Lee, on looks and your reactions its definitely a 10 + 👍
There you go hanging out the box.
Reminds me of last nite with my mates mum😂
Spot on. We love Murgatroyds. Normally eat in and for us they're the best Fish and Chips in Yorkshire 😊
Waffer thin mint sir ? Lol, great looking fish n chips again though served on top of the chips 😵💫 give the chips their own box lol 10/10
True.
It steams the chips & can make them unnecessarily soggy.
I've only recently discovered this - ask for the chips boxed separately.
Love it mate I know the plaice 😅 I live not far from there and that fish needs a police escort 😂 its a top chippy if you don't mind the queues.... making me hungry watching 👍👍👍
Great video my friend it looks amazing
We're gonna need a bigger box.
I see what you did there 😂
you mean bowel
After 15 days of Vacation and the ESC2023 Congress in Amsterdam it's time for catching up with the MacMaster.
Video nr. 1: A 10 +
I was in Leeds uk in 1983 Best fish n chips in my opinion.
There is but one truly great chip shop in the UK. So much so I drive 250 mile round trip to eat there every 2 weeks. Ok, I visit family, but i go for the chips. Ocean Boat Fish & Chips, in Stourbridge. Featuring the Black Country delicacy of Battered Chips. You will find no better chips than here, fair trek from Mansfield, so give the Porsche a decent charge😉
Got to admit; i agree with you - it's my favourite chippy, too.
We were there recently, prior catching a flight, from the next-door airport, & struggled a bit even with the standard size portions.
That fish batter is to die for.
Just try to avoid Sundays - the Blue rinse brigade, invade the place.😂
I love haddock Lee and with skin on 😊 that looks gorgeous, enjoy ❤😋Xxx
Eating that outside with NO seagulls! Heaven.
I took some of my Polish colleagues there the other week, i had a fantastic piece of cod, one of my colleagues had the Giant Haddock, which beat him.... not cheap, but you get what you pay for....top job!
Skal !
I didnt know those old 80's Scottish Irn Bru adverts were shown in England too, thanks for acknowledging them!!
On the way back from the Yorkshire dales we stop off to this superb delight.
Hi lee hope you well there are electric vehicle charging units at aldi at woodhouse xx
100% the very best,without doubt........
Totally agree,kicks the whaler into touch in my opinion
You should try mother hubbords fish shop in baildon and mark them out of ten I find them really nice and reasonably priced give them a try I watch your you tube videos all the time
Love fish but couldn't eat two pounds of it covered in batter.
Never mind a bigger boat, you need a bigger box 😂😂😂
In New York our haddock is smothered in ketchup and tartar. Curry and peas 🫛 sounds strange but I respect differences in culture
From England best fish in Cincinnati have to stop them covering it in mustard! and ketchup.
Thought the fish looked like it had been left out too long. Bet it would be amazing when fresh.
I hope you took some of the fish home for the cats?
I had a fish about the same size as that at papa's in skegness when it first opened not sure they still do em that big but worth asking.
You could feed 3 with that just about. Fantastic Lee
Lee you are quite right we live in Harrogate and often eat there both the restaurant and takeaway are brilliant along with the price
that is good and the price?so reasonable.pity weve not got them in oxford.
Loved that you used the jaws music & clips . Me & hubbie in Lymington hants & keep hearing the clang of the bouys … reminds us of jaws .. got to be a certain age I think 🤔
Looked good, great price to 👍
on average,... how many times a week do you get fish and chips?..... I MUST try this place (not plaice!)
I am originally from Bath now living in Melbourne, the one thing I miss is Cod and chips.
That looked like a monster meal. I'd have given it a good old go
Just when you thought it was safe to go to the chippy ! That is insane, enough there for a family xx
"You're gonna need a bigger gob". 👍
Was it cold by the time you got stuck in..?
We don't have fish and chips very often, but a couple of times a year we come here since we are 15 mins away. We usually sit in the restaurant and yes the meal isn't cheap but every time the fish and chips are outstanding.
Me and the wife go and get the over sixties meal deal for £15 the fish is amazing. We’ve be going for years and never had a bad meal yet fantastic fish and chips
My advice to them would be to get some bigger boxes.
