On the other hand, a new entrepreneur would not stand a chance. Even if he just wants to make a decent profit, he or she could not compete. So, if even a modest living is not possible, no entrepreneur would invest his money in that neighbourhood... And why is it so expensive? Rent - labour - gas/electricity. Investing in equipment is also very expensive.

Hi Gary, I literally watched a documentary on KZbin not two weeks ago about life in Grimsby... One of the poorest areas in England & struggling with crime. This fish & chip shop featured in the documentary & the owner does his best to keep the prices as low as possible to help locals. The feedback was that it's a decent meal for a very low price. So cool that you stopped here! This place deserves a good shout-out. Personally, I would give it a 10... Not because it's the best fish & chips, but 10/10 because I don't think you could possibly beat that value, anywhere else in the UK, for what is still a good meal. 💙

[@excession3076]

Sorry but you are attacking the wrong people. Few people (other than the "celeb" names attached) start a business wishing to "rip people off" but councils, government and commercial property owners have no such scruples. Every town/city has the same problem. Start a business, have some success then watch it destroyed by local rate hikes, tax take and rent increases. Only the big corporate businesses (and "charity" rip offs) can survive. And then they have a monopoly.

[@DavidMeikle-ei7fr]

If I was a cynic I'd think that some chippies ( and other takeaways ) have used the cost of living crisis, energy price hikes and fish 'sustainability' issues to charge unreasonably high prices 🤔. The chippie is an important part of a community, 10/10 to Mr and Mrs Matthews

[@WeAreThePeople1690]

You are right, they all have. But so have their suppliers etc. It's all greed. And everyone has jumped on the bandwagon.

[@CBEEBLE]

I was having a gripe to my local chippy owner about the rising costs of fish and chips. He then proceeded to tell me that the last few years he’d been pushed to brink. He’s shut his seated restaurant - only opens 3 days Thur - Fri because he said energy costs (lighting, heating), council business rates sky high. He told me that cooking oil used to be £14 per vat it’s now £28, price of cod / haddock astronomical - esp if London based. He doesn’t have a fish market on his doorstep. He said cost of potatoes has also sky rocketed. He said he and his family have been in the fish a chip business for 50 years and he has never known it so bad. It’s not just about the fish a chips, it’s all the other overheads as well - rental, energy, staff, business rates, rising food and distribution costs. When someone who has been doing it for 20+ years wants to throw the towel in - you know it’s not good. I was so upset to hear it pushed him to such a desperate place. At the end of the day they also have to earn a living and support their families. ps he also told me that a lot of f&c owners had resorted to frozen fish / cheaper cuts to keep costs down but fresh fish was the one thing he would not compromise over!! This place is close to Grimsby - so probably far easier to get cheap fish. I am sure accessibility is a major factor in keeping costs down.

Thanks for visiting our town Gary,was once a thriving fishing port,but even now,most of the chippies round here will impress.This particular one is reasonable,but the price is astounding,and as it's situated in one of the most deprived areas of Grimsby,let alone the Country,it's much appreciated by the residents.Thanks so much once again for coming over(hope you saw nothing to shock you round there),and thanks for the promoting the chippy

[@GaryEats]

Loved it. Thank you for having me!

[@susanlindarice]

they deserve to be nominated for an award and go to the palace to meet the king!-heartwarming that such people exist

[@GaryEats]

Completely agree with you!

[@maccagrabme]

I don't get how fish and chips in most outlets are so expensive, its not as though we aren't surrounded by sea and potatoes are ten a penny, we are being mugged.

[@darylbrown3391]

I think Mr Mathews ought to get an OBE or MBE or something that highlights his SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY Well Done Mr Mathews! I don’t live anywhere near Grimsby in fact I’m on the opposite side of the country but I’m going to go just to visit Mathews Chippy! I just wish there were more community minded people like Mr Mathews. Very Well Done Sir!

[@kawaiilotus]

@@maccagrabme one issue amongst many is that we have plenty varieties of edible and tasty fish but we are so used to eating only 4 or 5 of the so called main ones no one puts them on the menu!

[@drankfrebin]

People like this deserve all the recognition and thanks they can. The owner is a legend He deserves a tip

[@GaryEats]

I completely agree with you

[@Tjk186]

Hats off to Mr.and Mrs.Matthews for helping their local community in such a practical way …well done for giving them a recognition shout out Gary 👏10+

[@GaryEats]

I agree, they deserve recognition and thank you very much

[@Michelle-bo5zs]

Absolutely incredible what these couple are doing for their community. I still don't know how they are even covering basic costs though. But hats off to them. Yes you are right - they deserve recognition and utter respect for their complete lack of greed and their community spirit. How amazing would it be to see far far more community focused businesses like this one. I really really think that they deserve a full 10, irrespective of it not being the best. The price plays a significant part in our judgement of all consumables and whilst we take into consideration ethical buying and environmental impact - what about community impact. They just scored top marks in my book. Well done. 🧡 Give me people like that any day over the likes of Gordon Ramsay.

[@Val-h4d]

Mr and Mrs Matthews you are the kind of people this country needs more of no greediness selfishness just utterly kind hearted good people Thank you Gary for bringing them to our attention they deserve a medal

[@GaryEats]

Completely agree, it's amazing value

[@apollonia6656]

👏👏👏

[@shirleymclean5895]

Remarkable. One portion could feed a family of four. Incredible compassion.

[@GaryEats]

Completely agree with you Shirley

[@stephen_donnan]

Folk like that are an absolute inspiration. Thanks for highlighting Gary - we need good vibes like this.

[@GaryEats]

I completely agree with you Stephen. Thank you!

[@sueburns9851]

I’m was born in England and live in Australia now but love to drool over the fish and chips you review there, I miss them so much, this was an amazing place to put on your page and am so glad that you go there to support them I certainly applaud these people and wish there was more like them in this world to help the needy these days, they certainly do it tough. Well done them, and you for showing us that there are such wonderful people around.

[@GaryEats]

I agree with you, Sue. I think the owners are doing wonders for the local community.

[@neilloveitt6233]

That's the best value review ever , never to be beaten

[@GaryEats]

I cannot beat that for sure, this will go down in history lol

[@MarlynMeehan]

It really does lift your spirits when you hear of such good and kind hearted people as this. Okay it wasn't Michelin star but portion wise and price it must be a God send for local families on a very tight budget. I bet a lot of people have paid an awful lot more for a lot worse.

[@GaryEats]

I completely agree with you Marlyn

[@Novaera89]

A very heartwarming video, I'd imagine that for people in Grimsby they are thankful that someone is looking out for them and making sure the occasional treat isn't out of their reach. This is why I like Wetherspoons. We may not all like the owner, the quality may not always be great, but it gives people on a limited budget a chance to eat out once in a while without breaking the bank

[@falafel4618]

most of the fish that lands in Grimsby these days sadly comes in by lorry

[@GaryEats]

I really appreciate that, thank you

[@matthewturley352]

I live in a town called nuneaton in the midlands and all of a sudden all of our chippies have gone up £10+ for a large fish and chips, its outrageous. You can imagine being nowhere near the sea also means most of them have frozen dry fish so you go to the better places with fresh fish and you have to get out a mortgage 😂 The owner of this chippy deserves mega recognition. Thank you for the video Gary, really enjoyed it!

[@GaryEats]

You’re welcome anytime Matthew

[@patrickwong4824]

Madness is right, a non-profit fish & chips shop. £8 for all that food, simply amazing.👍👍

[@GaryEats]

You got that right!

[@andycrockett6301]

That's a proper trip down memory lane - the chippy on the estate where I grew up would do you a bag of scraps for nothing too, even if that was all you went in for - well done Mathew's Chippy for bringing it back!

[@GaryEats]

Completely agree with you, stunning and spot on

[@adyback7994]

We need this Lady and Gentleman's postal address.....I say everyone send them a 'Thank-You' and 'Best-Wishes' cards from all around the UK!!!!.....Truly amazing people and Staff...thank's very much Gary for this review...and obviously (again) to Mr and Mrs Matthews too. @ 14:55 SECONDED.

I have two major compliments to share after watching this! Firstly, Mr Mathews for being so thoughtful and kind in putting his community first, and secondly to you Gary for being so supportive and by promoting honesty and the integrity of people like Mr Mathews. Gary, hope your channel grows exponentially, you certainly deserve it. Best regards, Rob.

[@Rowan-d2y]

The two words you said, honesty and integrity a very rare commodity. Mr Mathews and Gary have both in spades. Nice to know it still exists eh. Let’s hope it catches on.

[@GaryEats]

That is a really nice comment to make and really appreciated thank you very much, Rob

Superb!

[@bluemoon7371]

Best in the country in terms of how many good fish and chip shops there is in Grimsby and Cleethorpes.

[@edwardapostolides5360]

Your absolutely right Gary, all the awards given out to people who make a fortune doing work they love. Yet this fantastic selfless couple are ignored. Perhaps it's time we democratised awards. Excellent review as always 😊

[@GaryEats]

Thank you very much, Edward. Let’s hope they get recognition.

[@Cayres9]

I remember even the best Fish N Chips shop in Beaconsfield called Smiles used to be £5 for Cod and Chips 😮 now only 2 years later it's £14 what justification is there for these high price increases? We need more like Matthews Chippy to help struggling families eat good food 🙏

[@Matt77125]

They want to make more money. They have to be making money because people barely go there anymore and they still have enough cash to stay open

[@Cayres9]

@@Matt77125 Aha 👍 cheers for explaining this and I guess the rent prices in Beaconsfield are very expensive nowadays, The govt did not help small businesses by allowing staff to claim Furlough for 2 years and not show up to work where as people like me who work in the care sector had to turn up everyday during the Pandemic

[@davesy6969]

​@christineayres7199 Everything has shot up in price since covid. Gas, electric, wages, food. Businesses don't get their energy bills capped, unlike household bills, either. At £3, they are no profit at all and i hope they survive.

I have no doubt that many local people and families depend on these low prices. 10 Stars to Mr. and Mrs. Mathews and 10 stars to you Gary for highlighting these wonderful and kind people!

Thank you for understanding Nick 👍

[@moonchild666]

"Are these the best fish and chips I've had? No." Wouldn't it be embarrassing if they were? Well done Gary for calling out other retailers are highlighting this legend of the Grimsby community. 👏👏👏

It would’ve been embarrassing. Have they been the best, but well done to the owners for what they are doing for the local community

Amazing price-quality ratio. What a lovely thing to do for the comunity. These people deserve recognition. Hopefully they will be nominated for an award. Well done Gary for making the trip to Grimsby.

[@GaryEats]

Thank you very much, Christine. You fully understand why I did this video that is really appreciated.

[@hilarydaly8111]

That's lovely...that families, who wouldn't normally be able to, can have a fish and chip supper from time to time. A shame there aren't more places like that.

[@Methusala555]

What a wonderful example of real community spirit

[@GaryEats]

Completely agree, the family have done a wonderful job here

[@karenward267]

Fresh fish, smoked by the owner, skin on, and battered and fried to perfection. Great mushy peas and chips, all for £3.00. Unheard of. Kudos to Mr Matthews, who values the support of the community and gives back in return. The crunch on all of the food was great. Any sausage is better than the one served to you at the Waitrose cafe. The Spam song comes from Monty Python. For the prices, this is great value for money. Great job, Mr Matthews. Great job, Grimbsy. Great job, Gary.

[@GaryEats]

Really appreciate that Karen, thank you. Super value

[@cynthiapresley9481]

Love your enthusiasm. It's nice to see people who are looking out for the community.

[@GaryEats]

Thanks so much Cynthia

[@theirishvideos]

Thank you Gary for bringing this little diamond to public attention. I had fish and chips from it a couple of years ago and to be honest, I'd have to give the food quality at the time ten out of ten. I couldn't believe the low prices and how friendly the staff were. OBE for sure because I believe they are genuinely looking after their community.

[@GaryEats]

Appreciate that a lot, thank you and agree with you

Gary, this video was honestly one of your best. So positive and cheering in todays world. The fish n chips was insane, portion size and quality, I thought you might get a goldfish 😂 I thought you'd get bought in frozen onion rings, not homemade ... wow. The owner of that shop has a huge community spirit. What an absolutely joyous video 😊

Thanks so much Steven, puts a smile on my face you saying that

Ten stars for this review Gary. In your own way you too are providing a service to the community and fair play indeed that the owners get a tip of the hat. I always enjoy your reviews, good bad or indifferent, but there is no question that a happy Gary makes for a better video. Good on you for shining a light on the shop and the owners. Cheers from Canada sir

[@GaryEats]

Thanks so much for that, means a lot

[@sallyjones4557]

Fantastic that Mr and Mrs Matthews are providing this at such incredible pricing and for what they do for the local community, .. the portions are incredible and was blown away by those onion rings for £1!!!!!!!! and haddock looked lovely too. incredible for £3 fish and chips!!

[@GaryEats]

Truly sensational value Sally

[@AndyO-f7k]

Your 'rant' is about as totally spot on as it could be because this kind of value for money, aimed at feeding the community rather than lining the owners' pockets, is about as rare as hens teeth. I'd have given it 10 out of 10 across the board, not because the food was 'the best', but because at those prices it's accessible to almost everyone when so much else isn't. Oh, and spam fritter? I haven't had one of those in about as many years as you, but when meat is a price you can't afford, even a greasy one is like caviar!

[@GaryEats]

Thank you very much

That review almost made me cry. So rare that people like that exist anymore. What a treasure they are to do that for no reason but to help the community and families that need a treat now and then. What a portion for that money as well. I think your rant was deserved, calling out the price gougers and giving kudos to that gentleman and his wife. Thank you for that great review.
