It's impressive how fast your channel is growing and that's all down to your no-nonsense, no gimmicks approach to your reviews. I've watched a lot of food reviewers and there comes a point where you tire of "zany" challenges, loud music and fast editing. I've just realised......you're basically the food reviewer equivalent of comfort food! And I mean that as a compliment :)

I've been subscribed a month but only just come across this review. I used to visit Chez Fred once a week with a friend before he passed. We had the lunchtime special and I agree with your review mostly. The fish was always the highlight, so fresh and tasty. the chips were OK, but never seemed like proper chip shop chips, more like chips I would do at home, though perfectly fine, and they always put up the name of the potato variety being cooked. And I always took advantage of a second plate of chips with the meal. There was also the option of unlimited sparkling water which I made ue of.The mushy peas were also fine, I'd rather thick mushy peas than thin. Great value and great fish. Thanks for bringing back some happy memories of visiting there.

The unlimited chips is very much like in many Belgian restaurants. I worked at a plant north of Gent for a while and we ate regularly in Ertvelde at what is now De Gouden Kroon (might have changed, it's so long ago.) On eone occasion, the three of us had different main courses and our Belgian man had something that didn't need chips, but being a growing lad he helped himself to a huge plateful we had, more than enough for the three iof us anyway. We still hadn't fully finished when the waitress noticed the empty chip plate, apologised and without a word from us ran off to get us yet another huge plateful. The Belgians are proud of their frites! Might go to Bournemouth again sometime and if we do, I'll look out for Chez Fred.

[@GaryEats]

Very nice. Enjoy it!

[@geoffjoffy]

Unlimited chips: makes a big difference from those posh places that struggle to put more than 6 chips with the fish. Looks good. But I agree, shame haddock wasn't on the menu. Cheers.

Well done for hitting 30k. Very well deserved. Proper reviews with no nonsense or showboating. Lunchtime special seemed a good choice. Wish you had the Rock. It's my favourite. That looked a super meal for £12.95. And a pot of tea too. Reminds me of fish and chip restaurants when I was a kid 50 years ago. The fish looked incredible. Lovely big white flakes is always a sign of good fish. I'm a tartare sauce man, but my favourite is to pull the batter back, add Worcestershire Sauce and replace the batter to avoid the soggy batter syndrome. I think that's a very fair score.I would be happy to have a meal there.

[@GaryEats]

Another great video. I’m not British, so I’ve never had curry sauce with Fish and Chips. But I do like a generous dousing of cider vinegar. If you like your tartar sauce, you need to come to Japan. They make a really interesting tartar that actually has cut up boiled egg in it. Really nice with fried food.

Love this place Gary, whenever I go for a British holiday to Bournemouth always make sure I have at least one meal here.

I'm not fully Vegan, but am lactose Intolerant/allergic to Whey so can't have full dairy-but I sometimes do have their Banana Blossom Fish with Chips!

Tartar sauce is my favourite. I travel all over the Uk and Ireland and have tried many fish and chip shops. Have tried chez fred in Bournmouth and it’s safe to say chez fred ranks as one of the best for taste.

Ok re Chez Fred, i must admit as soon as i saw the place and the food i thought oh we have a ten here, but like i said before us watchers don't have taste vision, so i support your 9 score 100% due to the peas and chips, but i must admit for the price i was very impressed indeed. Re condiments i think British law says you must have mushy pes with fish and chips, but i love tartar so much i really do. Chris.

You are not obliged by law to have mushy peas. It is a northern thing, like Greggs, that is advancing down south like crabs on Christmas Island, during the mating season. Mushy peas laced with Sarsons' vinegar, spiced with some chili, is great with your fish n" chips. I, like you, prefer sauce tartar, or even Belgian mayo on mine.

I watch loads of restaurant review channels, but this is quickly becoming my favourite. So many focus on clever transitions and artistic shots of the food, and while entertaining, you get no sense of what it would be like to go there for a meal. I love the fact that we get to see the exterior, interior, service, food as it actually is. Chez Fred looks amazing for the price - the cod alone will have been a decent chunk of that. Love the portion sizes on the sauces. Love that they remembered the lemon. I go for tartare or curry sauce normally. Love mushy peas but 90% of places serve them unseasoned. I reckon you should award them a Gary Score™. Thanks for another great review!

[@colin1729]

Hi Gary, Enjoyed your video as usual. Just one point if I may. You mentioned on several occasions that the chips were not crisp. Having crispy chips is not traditional with fish. When I was a lad you could watch the potatoes cleaned, peeled and chipped while waiting in the que to be served. When the chips were drained and thrown into the fryer this would create a light golden colour of soft chip texture. A few chip shops would turn the fryer up after a few minutes after submersion. You could hear the burner roar while the fat heated to the next level. HMMM. When frozen chips were introduced we started to have crisp chips. Don't get me wrong. These chips are nice But compared the the original eaten while walking home on a frosty evening they do not compare. Any way just popping down to the chippy.

[@GaryEats]

Thanks Colin. Of course, I think they were still a little bit under done for my liking even though they're not supposed to be very crispy like other chips you have with meals. Enjoy the chippy and have a good weekend!

[@simonbaker5972]

Fantastic review! Absolutely perfect portion size for me. Have to admit in a chippy, I prefer softer chips. In a restaurant they've got to be crunchy. With the mushy peas, I put lots of vinegar, salt and white pepper on them, so perfect consistency for me! I totally agree. A 9/10. It's funny - we all have our different ways of eating food. For me, I pull the top batter off the fish and pour lots of salt, vinegar and ketchup on the fish. The last to go is the batter. I honestly love it more than the fish!

[@GaryEats]

Yep. We all have different tastes and opinions which makes food so interesting. Have a good weekend Simon!

[@mattysowls]

Fantastic value for £12.95, looked a top class meal, agree about the tartare sauce Gary, it makes fish and chips, sadly not many chippys in Doncaster sell it so have to get a jar from the supermarket, it is the best condiment by a mile to have with your fish.

[@GaryEats]

Absolutely Matty. The best one!

[@domcole]

First of all, sincere congratulations on the 30,000 mark! A great find today, and unlimited chips is a certainly a big draw I would say. As ever, thank you for the entertaining and honest review!

[@GaryEats]

Thank you Dom. Very kind of you :)

[@KellyMiller-f8o]

It may have already been mentioned but it’s actually in Westbourne, just outside of Bournemouth. There are also some very good traditional shops and a beautiful old arcade to walk through.

Thank you very much for putting me right it is indeed Kelly my apologies

Fish and Chips is one of my favourite meals. Your reviews always great and see you are one of the top food channels on youtube with your honest reviews.

[@GaryEats]

You are too kind Nick - have a good weekend!

[@GeorgeN111]

Been going here for 20 years with my family, always been incredible food and value.

[@GaryEats]

It’s absolutely brilliant

[@SgtSteel1]

Tartare sauce every time. Not sure I would consider mushy peas a sauce. From the look of it, I would not have needed more chips - possibly a sprinkle more. I for one have never had curry sauce with fish and chips and probably never will. Thanks for the review.

[@GaryEats]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@geoffreymcdonnell9869]

Gary this video takes me back 15 years when as a family of 5 we stayed at my middle brothers large bournemouth house and dined here.All 5 of us enjoyed it and had a typical cod and chips and really enjoyed it .The place was packed and the quality very good , BUT Pricey! Still when you hear John Major and Cliff Richard have had take aways from their i guess that pushes the price & reputation up.No comparism to weatherspoons we gave it a solid 9/10 and memories of a packed and noisey resteraunt but good😅

[@GaryEats]

So good to hear Geoffrey, some great memories for you, an excellent fish and chip shop and as you know worth a visit 😊

[@paullee5449]

What another amazing video and great meal. What generous portions. And unlimited chips too. Am I dreaming ! I have to plum for the tarta sauce I'd happily put it on anything. Great touch the fresh lemon slices. Looks like a great place for a family night out without breaking the bank . Well deserved score 9. Thanks Gary. Superb .

I have been on several Occasions and it’s been excellent and the fish has always been super fresh and fantastic chip shop

[@GaryEats]

Great to hear!

[@Now4wheels]

The venue looked really upmarket and lovely inside. The cod was exceptional so white flaky and fresh looking and batter crispy. I also thought Gary the chips needed to be a bit crispier but otherwise the whole meal was very good value. I quite liked the mushy peas thicker and the curry sauce looked good for dipping unlimited chips in. That’s definitely on my list to visit.

[@GaryEats]

Was an exceptional restaurant!!

[@BachTantra]

Great review unlimited chips. I wonder if they keep the chips soft to taste as their clientele seemed to more elderly

[@GaryEats]

Thank you!

This I highly recommend Malcolm fantastic value

[@davidthomas477]

Hi Gary, I'm a regular viewer of your reviews and always enjoy them. Have you thought of putting a short guide book together referenced by town. I live outside the UK and it would be very useful to have to know where some of these great eateries are when traveling around. There may be plenty of guides already on the market but you strike a cord with so many of us who the same classic British tastes as you.😊

[@GaryEats]

I'm thinking of potentially making a website in the future for all the best eats.

[@davidthomas477]

I'll watch out for it. I think it would be a roaring success.

[@David-ce1nh]

Good well balanced no nonsense review. That meal was fantastic value. The next time I am down Bournemouth way I shall definitely be making my way to Chez.

[@GaryEats]

You should! Thanks David :)

[@OuterSpaceOwl]

That looked superb, you made me crave a chippie tea now, haha. Nice value for money too although there's only so many chips I could scoff. I love tartare sauce with battered fish but do also love my mushy peas. Keep those subs rolling in and maybe you really will have people calling at you from passing cars, most likely your catchphrases, LOL.

[@GaryEats]

Lol, I thought that was pretty funny. He was not a happy chappy.

[@tonyfletcher7524]

Again another super review Gary. Wish I had a chippie like that near me! Just want to say as we are getting close to the end of the year and as a big you tube watcher your relatively new site is already one of my big favorites. Well grounded down to earth reviews that are totally honest. Also I am already using some of your sayings in my day to day life subconsciously! The other day a mate asked me if I wanted to try my local Carter and Millers (haven’t been before)and I said let’s give it a go!

Thanks Tony. Haha, that's great to hear mate. I'm sorry if it gets a bit annoying after a while!

Great fish and chips and video Gary......I like some salad cream on my fish with tomato sauce on the chips 😀

[@GaryEats]

Sounds great!

[@Deadman1957TEB]

So a visit to Westbourne, and a place I've actually eaten in, several times, that piece of fish didn't look particularly big, but it certainly looked bright and fresh, maybe it was the camera angle? They don't mess about with the other portion sizes, they appear to be soup bowls with the peas and curry sauce in. Peas I like, take or leave the curry sauce. Did you ask for more chips? Did you go back home, or are you staying down here for a while. One place I would like you to try is the Cat and Fiddle in Hinton, just outside Christchurch. It was a Harvester, but now has been poshed up as one of their Vintage Inns.

[@johngibson3837]

Remember it was a lunch time special befor saying cod wasn't size of a whale

[@Deadman1957TEB]

No it's not that, I have eaten their, and remember the fish being a little larger, but like I said, could be the camera angle! @@johngibson3837

[@GaryEats]

Wasn't the biggest bit of fish but I ordered the cheapest lunchtime special just to show everyone. I'm back home but I'll be all over the place soon don't worry! Thanks :)
