UK based YouTube Food reviewers worth watching

[Gord2]

Personally I am following Gary Eats, Greeno Eats, The Macmaster and recently The Fantastic Mr Schott. Any other decent Brit YouTube foodies worth following?

They’re not strictly UK based but I really enjoyed food insider uk food tours.

Harry has just posted a video on his personal channel explaining his situation and why there will be no more Food Wars or Food Tours. He is actually quite positive about his experience and what has happened.

Not strictly a Food Reviewer, but Beard Meets Food is entertaining. Goes to some interesting food joints and eats huge meals as a challenge! Adam (Beard), is a decent guy, the food is generally good, can't remember him giving a bad review, and his ability to consume vast amounts is seriously amazing! He gets recognised and is often challenged / invited by the owners, as he does get them a lot of free advertising! Worth watching. He generally posts a new video on Sunday evenings.

Eating with Tod. Cartoonist enthusiasm but very watchable and he has some amazing stuff in the UK and beyond

Harrison Webb.
Based in london, most of his videos are of him reviewing restaurants or locations around london. Be it best reviewed, worst reviewed, cheapest, expensivest etc.. He will also sometimes do ingredient reviews, trying things like £100+ watermelon etc.. and buying foods from the most expensive supermarkets/markets. Videos out every sunday

Loaded London, cockney fella going to different London restaurants, with chatting and walking in between, nice easy watch.

Only one I watch is Beard Meats Food.

I used to go to school with Only Scans I think hes called but cant say I've watched any.

[TIGA84]

Gary and Greeno are good.

Macmaster is dreadful.

Beard Meats food is bonkers with some of the stuff he puts away but very watchable.

Hannah Ricketts isn't bad, does hotels as well as restaurants if thats your jam.

Don't know why people keep suggesting competitive eaters/people who do food challenges when OP is looking for food reviewers.

Not exactly that much of a stretch to recommend watching someone on YouTube that eats food and has 6 million subscribers on a food forum is it, he’s the only one that’s been mentioned as well so not sure where your dragging that obtuse comment from.

Harrison does cooking as well as reviewing and Macmaster reviews EV’s and plane journeys. Shall we not bother with them either then?

His stuff is not food reviews it is basically advertising. Much like the controversy surrounding food review club he gets paid for every single video that he does but does not state that they are paid promotions.

[Resolutionary]

The Chicken Connoisseur and Harrison Webb are about the only two I actively keep up with.
A bit chalk and cheese but suits my tastes!

Indeed. He does good Vegas trip vlogs too (not sure if that's on a different channel).

[FWIW]

I find Gary irritating. The way he looks to the ceiling with every little mouthful is cringy.

[Vtekkers]

Only Scrans

First started watching this one when he would follow football team to away games but seams to just go around doing reviews now but i like watching

[TIGA84]

Danny and Gary just announced on Gary’s channel that they’ve started a new channel together.

I went school with him, hes just opened a place in Nantwich called GOAT.

I got pretty bored of the Rate My Takeaway content eventually (and his habit of just trying to be nice about everything even though it looked awful and was ridiculously expensive) but since that all went to crap I see he's now releasing similar content on the cringe "Mr & Mrs Yorkshire" channel:

I won't be tuning in but some might like it.

Not Youtube but if you need some short filler and have Instagram these two aren't as annoying as some of the other London-centric folks:

Another Instagram only one that has the potential to give good content but splits it up into too many short videos and doesn't create meaningful thumbnails to help you browse is Chef Jono - knows how to cook but also likes eating a lot of ordinary stuff and tends to be pretty honest.

Otherwise I think you've got all the UK stuff I'm served, the others are just people following those around and repeating stuff they've done but with a smaller audience.

A benchmark for me is who has reviewed the Ramsey x Burger King burger - those who loved it and rave about it are now pretty much off my list as obvious paid reviewers, the honest folk live on for another day.

Not quite UK but UK vs US content that I sometimes find interesting before it all gets a bit repetitive...



And Insider Food have their UK vs US series...

It's when you've watched a lot of this stuff that you realise how nice the Bourdain shows were back in the day.
