I think that is what makes them a great team. If they were both excitable and just let loose then it wouldn't be as good as having the balance. It's the ying/Yang! 😂😂❤❤
Yeah, real people who will let their faces show you the joy they're experiencing at the food you've crafted. Instead of some pretentious rubbish that some snobs dribble out, thinking they must seem smart
But yeah but they need to temper their reactions. I've seen them react exactly the same way after reading taco bell and Popeyes. So you can't really tell if this is good or not. Not really compliments to the chef if the chef at Taco Bell got the same reaction.
@@davidz2690other European countries maybe. Every other continent flows with spices other than the EU lmao. Except maybe Canada, but Canada doesn’t really have its own style of food.
That vinegar spray is actually what I've been missing all my life, without realising. You want the vinegar, but you don't want your entire batch of chips to go all soggy. So simple it surprises you no one thought of it before. Which is the hallmark of genius, I suppose.
I really enjoy how they share the food with Duckie and Aiden, how perfectly Ollie describes every food in a matter-of-fact but metaphorical way, and how Josh savors every morsel of his food. More of this please!
You two young men bring so much laughter out of this 52 year old American Mom. These videos are brilliant, comedic genius. What sweet souls. The food looks delicious as well. It’s always a wonderful journey.
Yet people still say that British food is terrible! This is a great example to show them. Beautiful food in a beautiful historic pub, it doesn’t get any better that that.
You two are adorable! Almost 100% of the time, when trying the food initially, and it’s good, Josh closes his eyes and falls back in his chair, and Ollie looks at the ceiling. Love you two!❤️🇺🇸
You two are brilliant! I discovered you because of Ellen, I work at the fat duck and it was soooo lovely to see you two appreciating and loving the food ❤ this is why we-chefs are doing it! For that kind of enjoyment ❤
I wish people would stop slamming English cooking. I was in England in 1978 and still dream of the wonderful foods I ate there. English breakfast sausage, napoleons, sultans loaf, cinder toffee, beans on toast (seriously!), incredible baked goods, and huge slabs of cod wrapped in newspaper with chips and all dowsed in malt vinegar. Gourmet? Maybe not. But delicious? Absolutely.
I looked the place up online. It's not cheap, but it's a fraction of what I expected prices to be. You can get a scotch egg with a side of the triple cooked chips, and a beer to wash it down for 24 pounds. as far as michelin stars go, that's not too bad.

Josh’s every comment is laced with gratitude and appreciation, even when he doesn’t care for how something tastes, he’s always kind about it. Kudos to you, Josh!
This statement is so true! Josh is very aware of the feeling of others, and is more concerned about that over going for a punchline. Surprised I don't see a comment of this nature on every video

@@SilvaDreams It’s an over used phrase. And WW2 was hardly a good measure of British food.

Like the Scandinavian countries smoking and pickling is used too, that’s not bland. You get things like clove and nutmeg in sweet things and we have always used pickles, relishes and sauces to add interest to simple dishes, Worcester Sauce, Gentleman’s relish, piccalilli.

Thats on the UK bucket list :) I love the atmosphere in small pubs and while I bet this one is a little more upscale than the place we had a 3 pound lunch at in 2010, the character of the buildings all tell wonderful tales. Creaky floors, dodgy doors, small entryways (being short, I dont have to duck). And then theres the locals that tend to come together for a pint or chat. Love it.
This is my first time watching you guys, but I love the chemistry you have and the phrasing of everything. The passion for the food really shows and the production quality is superb. (Also love how you feed your crew too as you also want to share the amazing experience with others)
As a foodie myself I am sitting here, watching AND listening to this, and my mouth starts to salivate to the point of almost drooling. The crispy crunch of the breads are what sound engineers are looking for, trying to get them perfect, and here you are, effortlessly snacking away and creating THE perfect sound "bites" imaginable. 😂🤯🤤
What the feck is a foodie exactly? We all eat food and we all like good food so what makes someone a foodie? How and when did certain people try to elevate themselves above others for feckin eating? I personally call myself a breathy, I just love breathing more than the low life's.
In the northern province of The Netherlands (Groningen) we have something similar to Scotch egg called: eierbal (egg ball). It's basically the same, but in this case the egg is wrapped in ragout, seasoned with curry spices. The eierbal is much creamier. It's my favourite deep-fried snack, really worth a try!
So this is my first couple videos I’m watching of these two. And they have just the right amount of comedic timing and English properness. Hahah love it. The reactions are the best. Keep em coming.
I adore how Jolly is slowing evolving to be a food show. I'm here for every second of it. Also Josh's reactions to food is everything. If I were in the kitchen cooking and got this kind of reaction, It would made my year lols.
That fish and chips looks absolutely spectacular. It is elevated, very inventive and sciency in the trademark style of Heston but without seeming pretentious or doing away with the charm of the meal in its traditional and simple form. I bet that was fantastic. Heston is truly one of the world's most exciting chefs and has remarkably stayed relevant for so many years. I still remember in vivid detail dining at Dinner by Heston in Knightsbridge (2 michelin stars) about 7 years ago.
Upon Josh mentioning the quaking pudding looked like a pokemon, I suddenly imagined Ollie do the "Quaking Pudding! I choose you!" scene in my head and it's hilariously entertaining!
Here in both Australia & New Zealand in our Fish & Chip Shops (Chippies) is that NOT Only we do have Battered Fish & Grilled Fish but also Crumbed Fish in which the Fish is fully covered with Breadcrumbs instead of Batter & besides we do also have Potato Fritters which are called Potato Scallops covered in Batter & being cooked like the Battered Fish of course.
I love when Josh and Ollie go to fancy restaurants. Ollie’s irreverence of the food and setting is hilarious and balances Josh’s ecstasy while he is eating the food. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I just love Ollie's reaction to the dessert! I bet all of the restaurants are just scared to provoque that face! Amazing videos guys, you really cheer a lot of us up with your videos and sincere and realistic friendship that is palpable on screen!
We went there for my birthday yesterday and we had pretty much what you guys tried in the video, it was incredible! The staff was the nicest I've ever experienced in a restaurant. Thanks for putting me onto this place.
You guys have NO idea of how much this episode means to me! I used to watch “Heston’s feasts” religiously when I was a teenager… that man is a true artist and genius… but his craft paired with your own master and genius is just my British dream content! 🤩
I’m British, but I’ve never met anybody who doesn’t love fish and chips. But definitely not fine. Dining fish and chips. Proper fish and chips preferably as close to the coast as you can.
That oxtail pudding with a glass of red wine (maybe some mash and veg too) on a cold day in the pub with the fire going. I literally couldn’t wish for more. ❤
I can't stop laughing at Josh's face. He looks high whenever he takes the first bite of everything. He rolls his eyes up as if he's going to pass out. Sorry Josh!😂
I love how their two different brilliant personalities pair together and bounce off of each other. Seeing josh calmly loving the food then look over to Ollie doing his little food dance makes my heart happy ! The perfect pair to binge watch 😊
I would love to try these kinds of places, the creativeness is something to behold. With that said, I just got back from Dorset and sat in a place that served their own catch. I had a lobster and oysters as fresh as can be, and it was heaven. When a 3 and 5 year old are digging into the lobster Tomalley, that's a proud dad moment. Edit: I need to try that oxtail pie. Now.
I'm not sure you really appreciated how much work goes into a Scotch egg that is perfectly cooked. The timing in the multiple cooking sessions is so hard to nail. No runny white and the yolk being runny is like a truly great accomplishment. It is like doing a double flip which is an accomplishment on it's own then catching the bar and doing a triple spin and nailing a landing.
I love how he just enjoys the flavor and the noise he makes is wonderful. I make noises like that when I have something that tastes really good. I get teased by friends and the guys are always just watching and staring at me while I enjoy the food. It's nice to know that there is a guy that can actually enjoy the food fully as I do. lol
Hi Guys, loved your review of the Fat Duck. 😊 Heston is an amazing man, beyond his years in regards to food. The crunch of the toasts and chips were the highlight of the video. You two are just the right people to review food.
The pun game was on point! Lol That food looked divine! I love when I see people like myself that truly savor and enjoy food…the eyes rolling back in the head is a giveaway. 😂
My mother was a traditional English cook and made stewed oxtail which was absolutely revered across the whole family. This definitely used spices, black peppercorns, blade mace, allspice and dried chilli in a muslin bag, as well ss a bouquet garni. The amount of connective tissue in the oxtail made the wonferfully rich and unctuous gravy. The fat trimmed from the meat was first rendered down and the sections of tail and accompanying onions, carrots and celery were browned in the beef fat, sometimes with the addition of some beef dripping if necessary. The stew would be finished with a good handful of chopped parsley.
Josh at least doesn't dislike fish and chips - I watched a video where he and Gabby visited the sea side and he was craving them. It might not be his favorite food (and Ollie probably shouldn't eat potatoes, lmao) but he likes it. When they visited Scotland didn't they also eat some very tasty, fresh fish and chips? I'm trying to remember when they said they didn't like them and coming up blank
You both crack me up! Josh NEEDED to marry a chef! He practically has ❤️’s jumping from his eyes when he loves something. Bless Ollie, love him just as much for his “that’s not my cup of tea” faces. Always makes me laugh! You guys are a great team
Been binging on Jolly videos since the last two weeks straight, so much so that I don't watch any other videos in TH-cam, becauss that will ruin my TH-cam algorithm. Such fun videos, from 6 years ago to till date. You guys are such a joy to watch. Much love from India 🇮🇳 ♥️
OMG - I'm dying! I have never heard the phrase, ". . . conquered the world for spices but refuses to use any . . ." and no phrase explains their cuisine better! LMAO!!
The skills and patience of the chef are not to be underestimated but Britain seriously needs to up their taste palette and cooking game as well. After enjoying the scotch egg (dimer devil) in Kolkatta full of subtle spices the only thing left to appreciate here is aesthetics. Presentation is very good.
I can't believe they've never had suet pudding before. In the Northwest, I grew up eating steak and kidney puddings from chippies and I still love them to this day. That oxtail version sounds and looks amazing though!
Yeah, I mean I don't think I'm too far from them in London and have had suet puddings plenty of times in my life. Love a good steak n kidney pudding. Sometimes I wonder at these lads 😂 (in the best possible way ofc haha, love you guys)
Not being funny but it's hard to explain why kidney is great in a steak and kidney pudding. I mean lets face it kidney doesn't have the most appealing smell. let's be honest it does smell a bit like piss haha 😂😂❤❤
@@robertfraser9873 hahaha you're right tbh, I'm not that big of a fan on the texture of kidneys, although I like the flavour... Maybe a steak and liver pudding should be attempted. 🤔
@@bladepantheraI made that using Hannibal's recipe. I still prefer the kidney version, though, but then again, I love kidney. Butter-fried pork kidneys with salt and pepper are heavenly, IMO.
Eating and drinking beer in 500-year-old buildings is honestly one of the reasons I most want to go to England and Scotland. Also, I just love fish and chips so much, and that looked amazing.
So, I know the chef that selected and cooked your fish and chips that day…and he is 17 years old! Our favourite is the Mushroom Parfait and the Crab Soup & Sandwich. UNBELIEVABLE flavours!
Not been to the Hinds Head, but I enjoyed Dinner by Heston, where they take historic (as in even older than the 17th century here) recipes and recreate them. That would make a good video!
Watching Josh dip an open-face sandwich into a cup of soup in a Michelin-star pub without a care in the world is the most American thing I've ever seen him do.
I have no idea how to operate a camera (or do any other production job) but I'd really like to be on the crew just so I could have a taste of all the fantastic food Josh and Ollie get to try.
That all looked absolutely fantastic! I'm starting to plan a trip to London but I think we're going to go all over the UK, so it's time to deep dive into Jolly and find some more recs!
I love how the way Ollie speaks he just says whatever he wants without hesitation whilst Josh is a bit more proper 🤣
*More reserved*
@@Adamkhan012 I wouldn’t say reserved lol I mean he does actually talk 😂
I think that is what makes them a great team. If they were both excitable and just let loose then it wouldn't be as good as having the balance. It's the ying/Yang! 😂😂❤❤
@@robertfraser9873 that’s a great way of explaining it 😂

So this is my first couple videos I’m watching of these two. And they have just the right amount of comedic timing and English properness. Hahah love it. The reactions are the best. Keep em coming.
I love that they’re diversifying their Fish and Chips videos. It’s nice to see them be WFH Dark Academia but in an actual restaurant outdoors.
WFH Dark Academia :)) that's an accurate description of their Michelin Star restaurants reviews tbh
I adore how Jolly is slowing evolving to be a food show. I'm here for every second of it. Also Josh's reactions to food is everything. If I were in the kitchen cooking and got this kind of reaction, It would made my year lols.
Love how josh looks fancy and dapper and Ollie looks like an old school professor
Love the fact that you guys always share food with the camera crew, that’s sweet!
I love seeing the crew enjoying the food too 😊
That fish and chips looks absolutely spectacular. It is elevated, very inventive and sciency in the trademark style of Heston but without seeming pretentious or doing away with the charm of the meal in its traditional and simple form. I bet that was fantastic. Heston is truly one of the world's most exciting chefs and has remarkably stayed relevant for so many years. I still remember in vivid detail dining at Dinner by Heston in Knightsbridge (2 michelin stars) about 7 years ago.
Just love how honest Ollie talks and we never know what’s going to come out a joy to watch you two
LMAO “It’s like if Beethoven did a techno track!”
Never change Ollie-😂
I read this right after he said it! 😂
Ollie’s reaction tells me what he thinks before he actually tells us!!! ❤❤❤
The crunch at 8:08 was heard in the US. I was sitting on my couch and the whole house shook.
Would love to see UK through Jolly’s eyes. A good tour around the country culinary and off beat, traditional destinations 🤍🙏🏽
Upon Josh mentioning the quaking pudding looked like a pokemon, I suddenly imagined Ollie do the "Quaking Pudding! I choose you!" scene in my head and it's hilariously entertaining!
I love how you guys feed the camera crew. they deserve it.
Here in both Australia & New Zealand in our Fish & Chip Shops (Chippies) is that NOT Only we do have Battered Fish & Grilled Fish but also Crumbed Fish in which the Fish is fully covered with Breadcrumbs instead of Batter & besides we do also have Potato Fritters which are called Potato Scallops covered in Batter & being cooked like the Battered Fish of course.
Yummy
Yummy
I love when Josh and Ollie go to fancy restaurants. Ollie’s irreverence of the food and setting is hilarious and balances Josh’s ecstasy while he is eating the food. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I just love Ollie's reaction to the dessert! I bet all of the restaurants are just scared to provoque that face! Amazing videos guys, you really cheer a lot of us up with your videos and sincere and realistic friendship that is palpable on screen!
Just hearing the sound of that fish batter makes me want to book a trip to England.
Nice to see British Cuisine come to life with innovative twists,
Brilliance indeed!!
We went there for my birthday yesterday and we had pretty much what you guys tried in the video, it was incredible! The staff was the nicest I've ever experienced in a restaurant. Thanks for putting me onto this place.
Damn, Josh and Ollie are exactly who I want to be eating fish and chips with, if I had my pick. This episode will do!
I want to eat Josh !
wait what@@fairamir1
we all do! @@fairamir1
Josh smacks his lips so much. It’s obnoxious
You guys have NO idea of how much this episode means to me! I used to watch “Heston’s feasts” religiously when I was a teenager… that man is a true artist and genius… but his craft paired with your own master and genius is just my British dream content! 🤩
It's 8:30 am here right now, and I've never wanted fish and chips this early before. My American mind is listening to those chips crunch...mind blown.
Same, except it was 9:30am here and I had to go rummaging through my freezer to microwave myself some tater tots.
...Not the same 😂😂
10:30 here. I've just had a bagel and haven't reached the chips yet, but based on this, I can say ",same"
I’m British, but I’ve never met anybody who doesn’t love fish and chips. But definitely not fine. Dining fish and chips. Proper fish and chips preferably as close to the coast as you can.
What is wrong with plates? Bring back plates.
That oxtail pudding with a glass of red wine (maybe some mash and veg too) on a cold day in the pub with the fire going. I literally couldn’t wish for more. ❤
These two make me genuinely smile more than any other food show. The chemistry is amazing.
Ollie should never play poker. His true feelings are always written all over his face, and I love every minute of it. LOL!
I can't stop laughing at Josh's face. He looks high whenever he takes the first bite of everything. He rolls his eyes up as if he's going to pass out. Sorry Josh!😂
He's having foodgasms 😂
lol was just thinking this, by the 3rd appetizer (devils on horseback) his eyelids were getting a little droopy
Ollie’s facial expressions are EVERYTHING!! 😂
I love the sense of humor displayed by the staff. It just seems to add so much to what must be an already awesome experience.
11:30
Can we appreciate that the choice of the background music is sooo good.
It fits the theme so well.
I love how their two different brilliant personalities pair together and bounce off of each other. Seeing josh calmly loving the food then look over to Ollie doing his little food dance makes my heart happy ! The perfect pair to binge watch 😊
Love that Ollie keeps Gabie in mind, even though he means it as a second wife 😂
I would love to try these kinds of places, the creativeness is something to behold.
With that said, I just got back from Dorset and sat in a place that served their own catch. I had a lobster and oysters as fresh as can be, and it was heaven.
When a 3 and 5 year old are digging into the lobster Tomalley, that's a proud dad moment.
Edit: I need to try that oxtail pie. Now.
I'm not sure you really appreciated how much work goes into a Scotch egg that is perfectly cooked. The timing in the multiple cooking sessions is so hard to nail. No runny white and the yolk being runny is like a truly great accomplishment.
It is like doing a double flip which is an accomplishment on it's own then catching the bar and doing a triple spin and nailing a landing.
I love how he just enjoys the flavor and the noise he makes is wonderful. I make noises like that when I have something that tastes really good. I get teased by friends and the guys are always just watching and staring at me while I enjoy the food.
It's nice to know that there is a guy that can actually enjoy the food fully as I do. lol
Hi Guys, loved your review of the Fat Duck. 😊
Heston is an amazing man, beyond his years in regards to food. The crunch of the toasts and chips were the highlight of the video.
You two are just the right people to review food.
I love that the suits always come out whenever anything fancy or michelin star is on the table😊😊
5:35
has me dying 😂that is an inner child if ever you needed to see one. That little juggle of two items that were too good to explain.
The pun game was on point! Lol That food looked divine! I love when I see people like myself that truly savor and enjoy food…the eyes rolling back in the head is a giveaway. 😂
My mother was a traditional English cook and made stewed oxtail which was absolutely revered across the whole family. This definitely used spices, black peppercorns, blade mace, allspice and dried chilli in a muslin bag, as well ss a bouquet garni. The amount of connective tissue in the oxtail made the wonferfully rich and unctuous gravy. The fat trimmed from the meat was first rendered down and the sections of tail and accompanying onions, carrots and celery were browned in the beef fat, sometimes with the addition of some beef dripping if necessary. The stew would be finished with a good handful of chopped parsley.
Considering how many times they’ve said they don’t like fish and chips they sure make a lot of videos about fish and chips 😂😂
They know their audience 😂
Josh at least doesn't dislike fish and chips - I watched a video where he and Gabby visited the sea side and he was craving them. It might not be his favorite food (and Ollie probably shouldn't eat potatoes, lmao) but he likes it. When they visited Scotland didn't they also eat some very tasty, fresh fish and chips? I'm trying to remember when they said they didn't like them and coming up blank
@@T.Florenz I actually forgot that Ollie is potato-intolerant 😅
You both crack me up! Josh NEEDED to marry a chef! He practically has ❤️’s jumping from his eyes when he loves something.
Bless Ollie, love him just as much for his “that’s not my cup of tea” faces. Always makes me laugh!
You guys are a great team
that ASMR moment when they bite the first chip - even hearing it make me wants to order fish and chips
Been binging on Jolly videos since the last two weeks straight, so much so that I don't watch any other videos in TH-cam, becauss that will ruin my TH-cam algorithm. Such fun videos, from 6 years ago to till date. You guys are such a joy to watch. Much love from India 🇮🇳 ♥️
I feel high class watching this
OMG - I'm dying! I have never heard the phrase, ". . . conquered the world for spices but refuses to use any . . ." and no phrase explains their cuisine better! LMAO!!
have you been to the uk?
Nigel NG/Uncle Roger did make a jokes about that tho
The skills and patience of the chef are not to be underestimated but Britain seriously needs to up their taste palette and cooking game as well. After enjoying the scotch egg (dimer devil) in Kolkatta full of subtle spices the only thing left to appreciate here is aesthetics. Presentation is very good.
@@AW-lq9bfthat's like the most overused joke of all time how tf have you never heard it lol
unless this is sarcasm
15:17 This is the most English face I have ever seen 😂😂😂
I can't believe they've never had suet pudding before. In the Northwest, I grew up eating steak and kidney puddings from chippies and I still love them to this day. That oxtail version sounds and looks amazing though!
Yeah, I mean I don't think I'm too far from them in London and have had suet puddings plenty of times in my life. Love a good steak n kidney pudding. Sometimes I wonder at these lads 😂 (in the best possible way ofc haha, love you guys)
Not being funny but it's hard to explain why kidney is great in a steak and kidney pudding. I mean lets face it kidney doesn't have the most appealing smell. let's be honest it does smell a bit like piss haha 😂😂❤❤
@@robertfraser9873 hahaha you're right tbh, I'm not that big of a fan on the texture of kidneys, although I like the flavour... Maybe a steak and liver pudding should be attempted. 🤔
@@bladepantheraI made that using Hannibal's recipe. I still prefer the kidney version, though, but then again, I love kidney. Butter-fried pork kidneys with salt and pepper are heavenly, IMO.
Same, i was shocked at that too. It was a thing i had growing up down in the South, atleast once every couple weeks. It's a great comfort food.
Eating and drinking beer in 500-year-old buildings is honestly one of the reasons I most want to go to England and Scotland. Also, I just love fish and chips so much, and that looked amazing.
As someone whose favorite meal and fish and chips it was hands down the best fish and chips I've ever had. The triple cooked chips are something else.
So, I know the chef that selected and cooked your fish and chips that day…and he is 17 years old! Our favourite is the Mushroom Parfait and the Crab Soup & Sandwich. UNBELIEVABLE flavours!
Really, this is it? You have no idea about this could be much better.
Not been to the Hinds Head, but I enjoyed Dinner by Heston, where they take historic (as in even older than the 17th century here) recipes and recreate them. That would make a good video!
Tasting History is another
Ollie's comparisons and puns are hilarious! I've never had a Scotch Egg and now I want that one!!!
Anyone else watch Jolly-food videos whilst eating a boring piece of bread or something and dream of eating Michelin star food instead? 😂
Watching Josh dip an open-face sandwich into a cup of soup in a Michelin-star pub without a care in the world is the most American thing I've ever seen him do.
"This is basically a Pokemon" had me quaking. 😂 Jolly is literally how I feel watching all your videos. Thank you.
Would be funny if, in the future, Ollie challenged Josh not to say “the best ______ I ever had.”while doing another video akin to this one! 😂
They should always order some for the people behind the cameras. Their reactions are always great, too❤
I have no idea how to operate a camera (or do any other production job) but I'd really like to be on the crew just so I could have a taste of all the fantastic food Josh and Ollie get to try.
That all looked absolutely fantastic! I'm starting to plan a trip to London but I think we're going to go all over the UK, so it's time to deep dive into Jolly and find some more recs!
9:20 was the moment my mouth watered.
I love very much that Josh and Olly can't not share the good food with their crew. And the Foodgasms are hilarious!!
