Reviewing the FAMOUS CHEZ FRED in BOURNEMOUTH!

I'm at the south coast today and as it's a Friday, I've headed down to Chez Fred in Bournemouth as loads of you have recommended that I come down and give it a try. The catch? They serve unlimited chips!
Please don't forget to like and subscribe to the channel as that always helps.

Another great review Gary. I reckon it won't be long that you'll have so many comments on your videos you won't be able to respond to them all. But well done! 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 :)

They don't have a seated area but we always go and eat them at Mudeford Quay just around the corner. Thanks Gary I need to take a trip down now asap 🤣👍

[@pippin1ful]

@@GaryEats Now't wrong with a nice fillet of cod.

[@WolfmanWoody]

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.

Very nice. Enjoy it!

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.

[@GaryEats]

Thanks for subscribing. I really like Chez Fred - superb F&C. Take care!

[@SimplySheilaB]

Chez Fred! Brilliant name ❤ Looks great, yummy looking mushys, I hate runny mushys. I think I’d want just good old sliced white bread and butter so you can make a chip butty. 🥪 😊 Beautiful thick piece of cod. £12 for all that is amazing, I’d pass on the curry sauce. Have a great Christmas everyone ❤

I've had a takeaway from there a few times now, it is always very tasty, could not fault it to honest, the best I have tasted. I always have cod too, the chips are not the crispiest but are very tasty and I am happy with them. I also have the stodgy mushy peas, but that is how I like them. For those looking for it, it is located in Westbourne, not the main Bournemouth centre. Great review. 👍

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.

Hi, dude. I'm a chef and I've never heard of that. I'll have to look it up. Japanese tartare sauce. Sounds interesting. 👍

[@andrewroberts4736]

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.

[@Mat-eq8mk]

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!

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!

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.

[@GaryEats]

Cheers Chris. I feel to hit a 10 now on the channel, everything has to be spot on. Peas and chips were good but not great... the rest was excellent. Thank you mate and all the best.

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.

[@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!

[@anneperry9014]

Should have had the rock, delish. Curry sauce, no bits in it, wonderful!. Great review again. Thanks, love them!❤

[@GaryEats]

Thanks for watching Anne. I’ll get rock in the future 😊

[@heidifogelberg3544]

I ask myself. WHY on God's green earth am I compusively watching a relatively mild, unassuuming British man eat fish and chips, steak, poached eggs, curry, and Sunday roast like it's required by law? I do not have an answer. I do not. But I sit here and smile, and I look for his new video. Thanks, Gary. You seem like a lovely bloke. Enjoy your meals - for some reason, you're fun to watch.

[@GaryEats]

You're extremely kind Heidi. Thank you :)

[@brianjonas4654]

Another wonderful review. Good size cod. Three condiments, pot of tea. Spot on rating. Truly enjoyable channel. Blessings from Texas,USA. 👍😊❤. P.s., cod is my favorite fish. 😊😊

[@GaryEats]

Thank you kindly and good choice

Umm - unless they moved it, Brixham is in Devon, Gary! (Devon born and bred, know the beautiful English Riviera well!) That food looked beautiful. It makes me really crave good, English fish and chips! It's been a long time since I had that delicacy! (close to 25 years now!) Thank you for branching out a bit and moving to different towns. I know the travelling can be tedious, but you're doing a brilliant job! Loved your York visits and now, down "Saath"! xx

[@GaryEats]

Already been corrected Liz. I read the menu incorrectly 🤣 thank you! No problem.

[@lizg5574]

@@GaryEats It gave me a chuckle - and with over 400 comments before mine, I didn't fancy going cross-eyed to see if someone had moved the county-line back! At least it wasn't as big a whoopsie as some make, placing cities in whole other countries! Love your channel - thank you for the high standard and hard work involved!

[@GaryEats]

Haha. Made me laugh that, thanks and all the best.

[@richardhinchliffe1678]

Excellent looking fish and chips and the mushy peas and curry sauce looked absolutely lovely one again gary top quality review as always ( curry sauce all day long for me )

[@GaryEats]

Glad you enjoyed it Richard!

[@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 .

[@GaryEats]

Didn't know you were a Liverpool fan Paul. We're winning this weekend mate!! Cheers for the kind words.

Indeed Christopher.

[@jeanallan8106]

Hi Gary 👋 Excellent video! I’m from Vancouver, Canada and curry sauce with fish & chips is not a thing here. It’s always served with tartar sauce and I love tartar sauce ❤ Some places will have mushy peas on the menu as a side, but it’s not very popular here.

[@GaryEats]

Thank you Jean and hello to Vancouver!!

[@39doddle]

The fish looked very nice! Always a good sign when you have to actually queue for a table.

[@GaryEats]

Very true!

[@christyzack204]

Just started watching your videos, I can't put my finger on why but I prefer your channel to a lot of the other food reviewers.

[@GaryEats]

Thank you very much!

Super awesome price, Super awesome review too. ✌🏻🎅🏻✌🏻 Christmas come early . ✌🏻🎅🏻✌🏻

Thank 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.

[@GaryEats]

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

[@GertjanZwiggelaar-mo4tz]

The more I watch you Gary, the more I like you and how you have approached food reviewing. I wish you great success. You are a refreshing new face on the internet. I think I'll go cook up some fish n' chips for supper now. Cheers from Alberta.

[@GaryEats]

Thank you so very much and I hope you enjoy your fish and chips Gertjan 🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@GertjanZwiggelaar-mo4tz]

@@GaryEats Thank you, Gary. They weren't too bad, but a little dry and chips could have used a bit more crisping. Alas, I had run out of tartar sauce. As for mushy peas, I've never heard of that before I met you. That and the curry sauce are an English thing, methinks. In the Netherlands I used to enjoy pickalilli on my chips.

[@eamonnleyden7040]
