I Review HESTON'S £31 MICHELIN STAR FISH AND CHIPS!

I'm back at the Hinds Head after a long year and I've gone back to try their expensive £31 fish and chips which was a huge hit last time I visited. Will it be better than Anstruther? Let's find out!

It's all relative, Gary. . I paid about 17 quid in my local pub the other day for a bog standard fish and chips (with no more chips than you got!) No flavour to the batter, insipid mushy peas, and an 'ok' sized piece of fish. Yours was 31 pounds pounds for a beautifully cooked and inventively flavoured meal in a top celebrity chef's restaurant. Who got the better deal....? I'd rather pay the extra £14 and have your experience, one that you'll remember and tell others about, than mine which I forgot about as soon as I left the pub. Every week, of course not, but now and again definitely! Cheers!

So nice to see that Heston is still blooming after all of his mental health problems. This is definitely on my hitlist.

You pay for what you get and for an occasional treat this is right up there. I have been lucky enough to see behind the scenes at this restaurant/pub whilst working on a piece of equipment and I can say the standards don't stop at what you receive on your plate. Everywhere is spotlessly clean and you wont believe the amount of staff all working like clockwork to the highest standards. Another top review Gary, keep up the great work. 👍

You are a truly superb reviewer. Not since Keith Floyd has anyone delivered such clarity and honesty. I took my ex-wife to the Hinds Head for her birthday a long time ago and the only sour note was her. The scotch egg was exactly as you describe and has stayed long in my memory. Missing from the menu now is the real (suet) steak and kidney pudding which in your lovely words was "wrong" the flavours were so deep and delicious that I wish I had spent longer on it. Triple cooked chips are an issue: his are/were delicious. Every other place I have had them (the list is long and inglorious) they have been stale reheated spud and a huge disappointment. Keep doing what you are doing Gary; we love it and you are...wrong!

[@TheDesiStand]

"I took my ex-wife to the Hinds Head for her birthday a long time ago and the only sour note was her." 😂😂 Hope she doesn't see ur msg. 😎

[@GaryEats]

Thank you so much. To be compared to Keith is very humbling as I loved the man on TV, thank you and glad you loved it when you visited

[@CliffieVanR]

I left the UK in the early 2000s for a few years. At that time, triple-cooked chips were a rarity. I followed Heston's recipe at home, and they always turned out excellent. By the time I returned to the UK in 2017, every other pub I went to was serving 'triple-cooked' chips. I don't know what they are, but they are far inferior to the real thing. As for portion size. That looks to me like a decent-sized portion. The recipe requires fairly precise control over oil temperatures, so it's possible the portion size is limited to prevent over-crowding the fryer and reducing the heat too much.

[@KieKey]

The only sour note was her gave me a chuckle

I don’t know why some say £30 for fish and chips in a beautiful restaurant is expensive. If the haddock was served with a sauce, rather than in batter with a few new potatoes rather than chips and a bit of broccoli no one would question the price. Another genuine, trustworthy review.

[@GaryEats]

£30 for a bit of haddock and sauce, a few new potatoes and a spring of broccoli would still be expensive in my book, even if the restaurant is nice but I think you pay for the Heston effect in Bray.

Hi Gary! I was very interested to see your latest video, having visited The Hinds Head myself a couple of times. That said my last visit was over ten years ago now, but I can still remember how good it was, and would love the go back some day. It seems it has lost none of its magic over the years? Your meal looked fantastic, and also quite generous! I understand your comments about the chips, but I have to say I find Heston's triple cooked fries so rich, I'm not sure I could eat a bigger portion! It's all the little extras that really add to the experience - the sauces, vinegar, etc. It's certainly not cheap, but I really think you get what you pay for - this is a Michelin star experience after all! I will now have to make it a priority to return at some point this year.

Normally I would have issues about the cost. But when you’re paying for food of THE finest possible quality, I’m not complaining at all. It’s a special occasion treat, enjoying the food of one of the best chefs around. And so you’re not just paying for the food, you’re paying for the services of masters of their craft. Yes, a few more chips would help, and I think you’re justified by taking a fraction off the points. But I’d be there in a heartbeat, just to treat myself and my wife, to food we’d be unlikely to experience elsewhere. Fantastic review, as ever, Gary. 🙏🏻

Heston has a huge team of extremely good people behind him. They spend months, if not years, on designing stunning dishes always using the best of the best ingredients hence the prices. I watched a guy review a special Xmas menu with Heston at a £1000 a head 😮 It looked mind blowing 🤯 hope he manages to control his issue as he's an amazing individual

[@GaryEats]

Well said Chris, I would have loved to try that... maybe something for next year

[@richardpaine5923]

Apparently, chefs are encouraged to design new dishes but, Bloomenthal owns the rights.

Heston is like a crazy culinary scientist, a true master of his art. £31 Doesn't seem expensive when you consider the amount of man hours it probably takes to design his dishes.

[@GaryEats]

He is an absolute genius

[@Christine-il8nm]

Everything looked so delish gary wow..expensive but very very nice .thx for yet another great video..❤

[@GaryEats]

You are so welcome Christine x

[@kwas101]

The touch of the lemon being wrapped in a bit of cheesecloth, so that the seeds don't fall on to your fish - brilliant! This shows the attention to detail that means the meal is really worth £31

[@GaryEats]

I agree the attention to detail is excellent

Hi Gary, nice to see you again. That sounds good to me. I'm glad you mentioned snow inside 😆 🤣

Fantastic video, Gary. Really enjoyable banter, very descriptive and honest. Your enthusiasm about the taste was great. I thoroughly enjoyed that and yes, more chips!

[@GaryEats]

That is very kind to say, thank you, Paul

[@Quaker521]

For Michelin starred food, in a fantastic place, I don't think that those prices are too bad. For most of us, I suspect, it's not the sort of place we'd go to every week so it then become a treat and what a treat. Great to see you back there Gary and thanks (and the cameraman) for the video. Cheers.

[@GaryEats]

I think the food was excellent, thank you

[@ThreeFiddyChannel]

In today's high prices a legit Michelin star establishment asking for £31 for a fish mains is very reasonable! There are mediocre non-Michelin starred restaurants and fast food outlets asking for around the same amount or even more, only getting away with it with price gouging given their location and tourist footfall ...

[@Anitemare]

Great re-review!! Went there last summer as a result of your first review. Superb! Before I went, I had sampled lots of 'triple cooked chips'. When I left I realised I had not..... those were were the best and I have never sampled any as good as these since. Skin-on Haddock was the gorgeous and so were the sauces. I think I will go back again this summer. Cheers and keep up the good work, Phil

[@GaryEats]

That is truly wonderful to hear thank you for letting me know, Phil

[@derekmillar5407]

So sad how Heston's health has gone downhill. He has always been an exceptional Chef. ❤❤ Great Review as ever Gary. 👍👍

You are completely right. I hope he gets better very soon and thank you, Derek.

Brilliant review once again Gary. Thankyou. I have eaten at the Hinds head, but it was many years ago. I can’t remember how many triple cooked chips I got, but I had beef and oyster pie that was extremely tasty.

[@GaryEats]

Thank you very, very much, Amelia

[@josephodonnell8649]

Now Gary that truly is a wonderful skill for a chef to cook a scotch egg with a runny middle, perfection. The crunch of the fish n chips magnificent to my ear. Vinegar deodrant spray now thats you all smelling good too for the journey home, comedy gold 😂 I agree price is on the high end but for a one off you wont leave unhappy, great review yet again and delighted you enjoyed your fish n chips.

[@GaryEats]

Many thanks Joseph, the scotch egg was absolute heaven!!

[@butterflydiva1]

I was only talking about this venue and the chef today and here you are . The quails scotch eggs look delicious. You have to praise the chef because as you know, quails eggs are small and fiddly so that would take skill, patience and light fingers to achieve those results. I love haddock and always with the skin on, so much more flavour. The fish, chips and the rest of the extras looked top notch. I'd pay that price as a treat, definitely. Super review our Gary and Son. Thank you for sharing sweet x 😊

[@GaryEats]

Well said Maria as always, I think you've completely nailed this. The chefs deserve a lot of praise and credit! Hope you are doing well x

[@butterflydiva1]

@@GaryEats Thank you our Gary. They sure do and they're clearly trustworthy to be left to run the venue and keep to the high standards that Heston expects. He's managed to gather a brilliant team together who clearly have pride in their career. I'm still not right but I've hospital Wednesday and I'll be given more meds to hopefully help . I'll be rattling soon with all these meds lol. Thank you for caring sweet . Have a lovely evening x 😊

[@stayhumble4ever]

Love your video's Gary! I just wanted to point out that it wasn't Heston who came up with the multiple frying technique for chips. It originates from Belgium, where they have been doing that for decades. Heston took it from there and popularised it in the restaurant scene. I am not Belgian, but just wanted to give the lovely people from Belgium their credits. All the best to you and your cameraman, and please keep them coming!

[@GaryEats]

Thanks for the info!

[@heshamelnadi]

Gary it’s great that you’re supporting such a great chef such as Heston during his recent diagnosis. He is a true innovator of great British food!

Hearing that crunch while you ate the fish. I have a craving! Fourtunately even though I live in Sweden my missus likes home made fish and chips! No prozes for guessing what we are making on Saturday!

[@snapdragon1194]

I'm so jealous after hearing the sound of the crunch on the batter and the chips. Heston has certainly won you over with the quality of this food and to hell with £31 for the fish & chips cos they looked amazing. I sadly can only imagine it for myself. 😭😭

[@GaryEats]

This was excellent quality

[@hughphillips1427]

I went to this restaurant a year ago for my 60th birthday, their was a lunch time special for three courses at £50.00. Of course I had the scotch egg for the starter and fish and chips as the main and to be honest I can’t remember exactly what I had for the pudding! What I do remember is I enjoyed every minute of being there, the food was fantastic, the best meal in a restaurant I have ever had. Glad to see you back there Gary and thank you for the great video you have given us all.

[@GaryEats]

Brilliant!!

[@Jegiro]

Hi Gary, I just can’t get enough of your wonderful reviews. I always enjoyed watching Keith Floyd’s programs, which were interesting and informative, with lots of laughs. You certainly have a different approach, but I believe it to be more entertaining and diverse, also with some good humour and honesty. You have the ability to make everyone watching, desperately wanting to be part of the experience! That was a truly beautiful piece of battered fish! Of course when you mention the cost of each part of the meal, it just seems so expensive, and that’s because I live in South Africa. However, I have to acknowledge that it’s an issue which isn’t completely valid as in the UK, the money people earn has more buying power. Keep up the great work Gary, and all the very best to you and your son, take care and best regards, Rob in Durban, S Africa.
