- In today's video I am back at Morrisons Cafe. I really enjoyed the Ultimate Breakfast here, but really didn't enjoy their Sunday Roast Beef.
How will their Ultimate Fish, Chips and Mushy Peas fare? They call it Ultimate, but will it live up to the name?

What did you think of this meal? Decent value, but a case of you get what you pay for in some respects?
True Greeno,
But at £7, good value,
£9.80 in total yep, 💯
@@davidjones6470 I would agree David, a decent enough meal with a nice brew for less than a tenner. Reasonable enough!
@@GreenoEats Definitely 👍👍
Hello Greeno! I was in Köln and got myself a BigMac which cost me almost 10 Euros. So this Fish, Chips and Peas to me looks good value!
Wow, 10 Euro for a McD burger? That’s a bit strong isn’t it!
I like the tip about the vinegar in the mushy peas. Its been a real game changer for me.
Yeah, works well doesn't it !
Your new subscriber loving your videos your definitely really good to watch.
Thank you.
ANN IN CUMBRIA. 😊😊😊.
@@user-fj5uf5hn9v thanks Ann !
Excellent Thumbnail
Excellent upload Sir,
That meal looked well tasty, 😋 the mushy peas looked a funny colour, but Hey Ho, I eat It,
Thanks pal! The mushy peas weren’t very green were they, although better like that than the fake bright green colour ones!
😂😂
I am getting the idea you really do like vinegar. I personally do not use vinegar on chips, I just like a huge heap of salt. The food was not bad at all for the price. Personally I never oven cook chips, even when the chips are specifically for the oven; they just never come out even, either some are overcooked and some are undercooked with no uniformity of colour or texture. I either use an air fryer or a good old fashioned deep fat fryer.
The peas looked like they could hang wallpaper over in Greeno Towers; I mean they were far too thick and stodgy, so you were right to add the vinegar; personally, I also like to add a teaspoon of mint sauce too.
And finally, yes, I think the fish was just cheap pollock but for that price, I am not surprised or concerned.
The peas were thick enough to be used as an adhesive for sonar resistant tiles on a submarine, let alone hanging wallpaper ha ha! Little bit of mint in peas does bring them to life, all kinds of peas.
As you rightly state, I am a BIG fan of vinegar on chips, got to be bog standard malt vinegar, nothing fancy.
Looked ok that to be fair Greeno. I’ve purchased the mushy peas from Morrisons before and they were 100% these ones… not great in my opinion but probably far better with vinegar!! Love a chip butty it’s been a while….
Got out of jail the weekend Greeno ⚽️ Gloucestershire wasn’t a pleasant day 🙈
That's the normal Morrisons mushy peas huh, think I will stick to the Tesco ones I normally buy then!! And chip butties, food of the gods that!!
We were very lucky to come back v Sheff Utd. Never seen a team time waste so much mind, at it from minute one. Saw your result, not great, thought you would get something there. Did you try any of their vegan food??
@@GreenoEats yeah there not great those mushy peas from Morrisons Greeno.
That doesn’t surprise me, Wilder tactics. No I can’t do Vegan food, I tried a sausage roll once and never again 🙈 I smuggled in a pasty in my pocket 😂
@@theabandonedhunter3604 ha ha, contraband Ginsters huh 🤣
@@GreenoEats 😂😂
The cup of tea looks nice and dark. I like strong tea. The fish and chips look good on the plate. Mushy peas do look light but I prefer them like that without the colouring. Definitely peas need vinegar. The fish looks really good. I would say that is better than the M and S one I had last week as the Morrisons fish seems to have moisture to it and the M and S one whilst being a proper fish and not fish mush is just a bit dry. Overall I am impressed. Once went to Asda for breakfast with my sister and brother in law. We ordered the full English and a cup of tea. The tea arrived and we waited and we waited even though there was hardly anyone else in the café. Eventually a young girl came and said sorry but we have no bacon and eggs left. So my brother in law said well go and get some off the shelves. She said we aren't allowed to!!! We were offered some dry sausages!!! We walked out after paying for the tea. I think they could have let us have that for free. Chicken curry made from scratch yesterday for me tonight. 👍 Pinky.
I'm not a fan of milk, so always have my tea pretty dark as it's not got much milk in it! It wasn't bad overall, I think 7/10 was about fair. Certainly better than your Asda experience by the sounds of it!! Curry sounds great... I am currently roasting a chicken for a Monday Roast (just means less trimmings than a Sunday Roast!) 😂
@@GreenoEats 🤣😅😂👍
@@denisemottley22705 good it was too, roast potatoes, stuffing, veg and gravy. Full as an egg now!
@@GreenoEats Yum. Roast chicken and roast potatoes are great together. I sometimes have Yorkshires too. 👍
@@denisemottley22705 if we have a roast at the weekend it’s always with Yorkshires, irrespective of what meat it is 😀 Often if we have a cheeky midweek roast too, just couldn’t be bothered to make them today ha ha!
Thanks for the review nice looking fish xx
I appreciate the kind words, the fish was indeed decent on this meal!
Their fish is actually pretty good and for a supermarket cafe to freshly batter the fish is good aswell chips are abit suspect though mine were really soggy when I went
Yeah I was impressed with the fish, easily the star of the show… thanks for watching 😀
That’s the colour mushy peas should be me old pal
You should soak grey peas overnight to make proper mushy peas
Cheaper the mushy peas the better lol
Try a bit of pepper sauce and mint sauce in them
Better if they are home made than tinned. However, as I recall these were closer to a pease pudding consistency
Really enjoying a wander through your videos. The bread probably saved the day in one way, as chips of that variety tend to go cold rather quickly and a chip butty was probably the best way out. Salad cream on chips - a common enough thing in the 70s, particularly among those who had been abroad and eaten chips with mayonnaise but could not at that time find mayo on the shelves. A little ketchup might have made the sandwich easier to eat too; I don't mind tartare sauce on the fish and something else on the chips. Good value for money but surely Morrison's do a chunkier chip that could be used to make a proper meal? The real star of the show was the fish, which might so easily have been "the piece of cod which passeth all understanding". The mushy peas were at least not mushy-rooms but yes, it was pease pudding, which has a place but is too heavy for this use.
As a child of the 70s that’s probably where the chips and salad cream came from. We ate some strange things looking back. Any time we had a salad it would have a dollop of cold baked beans on it 🤣 Glad you’re enjoying having a little trawl through the archives!
@@GreenoEats That sounds like a similar thing - adaptation to approximate something we would have more authentically with today's bean salads. In the Welsh Valleys during the 70s the lettuce in a salad would be dressed with sugar and vinegar, which today sounds bizarre. The other thing is that shops here were pretty conservative until well into the 80s - a lot of products you would see advertised on TV just didn't appear, even in supermarkets. Heinz Curried Beans were as exotic as it got... Yes, really love your videos.

I have this meal in Leek Staffordshire. Always great for supermarket. Recommended your channel by Gary Eats. Enjoying the reviews.
I think Morrison’s cafes are about as good as it gets for a supermarket cafe aren’t they? Glad you are enjoying the content 🙂
Yours looked yummy! Went to my local morrisons today after watching you eat this yesterday, & was so disappointed 😂 Batter was soggy and fatty, chips well... 😅 mushy peas was the only thing that was ok!
Yours looks so much better than mine did today.
Oh that's a shame. The fish was the best part on mine, crispy batter and nice white fish. My teenage daughter makes better chips than Morrisons does 🤣
I had the ultimate Fish and chips in the Brecon Morrisons the other day. The fish was large and crispy batter and had flavour. The chips were undercooked in my view, wife would not touch them. Tried curry sauce for the first time. Sauce on its own was quite nice but lacked rice and a curry as it certainly does not belong to the fish and chip family. Mushy peas were ok. Needed seasoning. The garlic bread was brilliant. For the price it was good value. Chips spoilt it. But i have had good chips in the past. . Thanks for review.. Like you the fish was first class. My wife a retired chef and a fish foodie found the Fish first class for a change. Thanks again.
Thanks so much for your detailed comment. Lots of people think curry sauce does not work with fish and chips it seems. I love it myself!!
I'm new to your channel and i really like it. I am hooked and i love your accent!❤
Welcome to the channel :-) Glad you are enjoying it !!
If only I could learn how to make genuine fish shop mushy peas at home... That fish looked excellent for the price and the canteen was comfy and stylish. Good effort by a supermarket.
*Little edit and not a dig Greeno, the background music is distracting and not needed during the review. Not seen you do that before but don't over-produce the videos, they're great without it.
Yep, as supermarket cafes go, I think its a good one, spacious, nice seating areas. And the meal was decent !! Agreed on the background music, it was an experiment, and one that's not been repeated !!
I found. Morrisons ultimate fish and chips and mushy peas really good in Letchworth Herts
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching 😀
May try Morrisons cafe in Pontefract sometime 👍
Yeah they’re not bad Sarah. I think some of the larger ones up north have a proper food court type thing in them too.
@@GreenoEats ah ok 👍
You need to do a swirly with the last few chips to get all that mushy pea goodness out the ramekin Buddy
Good point! Thanks for watching 😀
I had a meal in Morrisons with chips it was good , much better than Wetherspoons . Take your own buttered bread rolls . What more could you ask for . Dont mean to say the chips are going to look or taste the same every time you go .
I think I just got unlucky with the chips, lots of other folk have said that they got decent chips at Morrisons. If I could have had that piece of fish with Wetherspoons chips I would have been a happy boy 🙂
I agree with you Greeno, regarding putting Salad Cream on a chip butty! 😊
Can't beat it can you - so much better than ketchup!
@@GreenoEats I know! I used to love ketchup on a chip butty, but ever since the recipe was changed, I stopped putting it on my sandwich, or anything else!
Greeno,that looks really good! Not a big fish fan, but fish and chips is always nice. A slice of lemon would be fab. The vinegar bottle looks exactly like my wick medi night medicine bottle 😂 Love the sweater, what a happy colour! Never had mushy peas, what a shame, they always look to yummie to me ❤
I think cod and other white fish are ones that even non-fish fans can enjoy as the taste is mild, that’s why they are so popular as fish and chips I think! And thanks about the jumper, I think it’s great too😀
Greenager got jokes 😂. Looking forward to this one.
She certainly *thinks* she is funny 🤣🤣🤣
Those chips look like they need some ketchup. Morrisons was always hit and miss for me. Ranging from decent for the price to quite bad depending on the day. They did do the best warm sausage rolls though.
I think that's the case with all the supermarket cafes isn't it... I f you have someone working in the kitchen that day with a bit of pride in what they're doing you might get something decent. If you don't then you won't !
We don't get fancy teapot and cups up here I find the mushy peas pretty awful the chips are bad too Are fish are a bit smaller up here too
Teapot just for us posh Southerners huh 😂 I have definitely had better mushy peas, like I said it was more like pease pudding. Chips were by far the worst part. Thanks for watching 😀
Fish looked ok rest no chips rubbish peas funny colour. I do like vinegar on mushy peas
That pretty much sums up my feelings on the meal. Thanks for watching 😀
REAL MEN WEAR
PINK, NICE ONE SIR,
Absolutely David!
Where did you get that sweater? I want one!
@@FossaBooks it was from the Adidas website, bought it in one of their 50% off sales 😀
OK daddy pig. I do not think I have ever bothered with butter and bread,
think its only to bulk up the meal so you are more full.
All the food from what I have seen is took off the selves in the supermarket.
really chips in bread just carb and more carb.
Yep, bread and butter is just a cheap way to fill you up. I guess it developed in tougher times when portions would be smaller. The chips and peas definitely had a supermarket food vibe to them, but the fish was definitely hand battered before frying.
Love the nickname daddy pig
Ha ha, part of me is already regretting mentioning that in the video 🤣
@@GreenoEats I love peppa
I know the peas were part of your meal but I am not sure what all the fuss is about mushy peas 🤔
Every reviewer says the same, disappointing 😂
Fish and chips are fine by themselves 😊
But good mushy peas are a thing of wonder, just not that easy to find
the meal looks lush, sorry bout your mum
Thanks Susan 🙂
The chips won’t be hot with all the talking !!!!!!
That is the peril of making videos, some food does indeed get cold. But there is no way those were hot when they came to the table!
The fish looked okay but the chips and mushy peas were a bit meh. Not too bad for the price, but probably one of those things that is miles cheaper to cook yourself.
Yeah, I think the price was ok, but to get oven chips was a big disappointment. The fish was good though, clearly hand battered which I guess most people wouldn’t bother doing at home. Apart from that it probably wasn’t any better than the fish and chips meal I knocked up,for under a quid at home.
I mean, let's face it. They just have ordinary food and add the word "Ultimate" in front of it.
I think in this case Ultimate just means the largest portion of that meal they do!
Just use your hands,,,,
I could have used my hands to put those chips straight in the bin 🤣
Sorry but music distracting and too loud.
Hi Janette, thanks for the feedback. If you check my more recent videos you will note that the music is used a lot more sparingly, I learned from the experience 🙂
Had this in the Reading store got to admit it was banging
Did you? Did you get something closer to proper chips? That would have made a world of difference to me.
@@GreenoEats No afraid not but I’ve had a lot worse but like yours the fish was huge really nice and white and it was hot can’t go wrong for the price
I know the peas were part of your meal but I am not sure what all the fuss is about mushy peas 🤔
