He’s a prick, for multiple reasons. I don’t like him, his politics, or his business practices. And he looks like Wurzel Gummidge after a heavy night on the scrumpy. So I am disinclined to patronise his establishments.

i said they were not frozen, just evidences how much people lie, and feel the need to lie, both on a publicly available film (which is even odder) and the walter mittys on here.

i can perhaps understand why those of low self esteem may lie on here about certain aspects of their life, like the famous chap whose fictitious garage was called out amongst all the 'gushing fools', legendary thread believe maybe?

but why lie about f&c ffs! what do people get out of that! i guess the denigrating of a 'celeb' perhaps? eg those saying his nasty chips are frozen and the bloke who claimed they were charging 50 quid or whatever amount he made up...like the crab sandwich price on another thread on here...i dont get it!
£30ea for Fish, Chips & peas... but that was a few years ago now.thumbup
yes you were called out for that made up bllx a few weeks back and failed to address any of the points put to you about it, well done for the repeat!

What on earth is "cultured" butter? Does it appreciate fine wine and the arts?
It will be an in-house ferment of cream, yoghurt etc made into butter, to be fair it does actually taste nicer than packet stuff.
depends on your taste, i don't mind some cultured butters but dislike the tang in many and much prefer the boring old sweetcream types, trewithen dairy being my basic go to or countrylife when not in the west.

isn't lurpack cultured?

Had fish and chips for the first time this year, didn't know what to expect due to the rampant food inflation over the past couple of years.

I choose a large Russ with mushy peas which came to £18 which I thought was quite steep when ordering but when it arrived it was decent value for money as couldn't finish it, will likely get the medium next time.




Pilot Inn on the beach front by Romney Marsh near to the power station, they have four different types of white fish which are meant to be fresh and not frozen.

The Britannia just down the road from there is pretty good too.

I trhink you mean Huss - Bull Huss/Rock Salmon/Nursehound, a member of the shark family. We used to go to the Britannia and Pilot quite regularly pre covid, both do good fish and chips.

Cheers, that was a brilliant video, great quality food for an unbelievably good price. I wonder if he is related to Peter Kaye?

He's like a UK version of Keith Lee - really hope that chippy gets the exposure they deserve.

Ling,

about half of a fillet and a handful of chips was eaten by the time I thought to take a picture, the fish was moist, crispy batter was seasoned and tasty and the chips were good, homemade tartar nice and creamy could have been a little more tart, at home I use plenty of cornichon so not much to do there.
€10.00
