My local. Was there today

[@chrisphallheatlover9848]

Damn thats huge, looks great, good value for money too. Great review Lee

[@georgekaplan8839]

I am so pleased I found your channel I have a lot of health problems but am able to lose myself in your infectious enthusiasm and zest for life. I’m in a hospital bed but you divert my attention for precious . Moments in the day. You are such a genuine guy keep going we need you!

[@James-hd6ez]

You keep going George sending you good wishes and hope your health improves a little mate.

[@Doktor_Apokalypse]

@georgekaplan8839 here's hoping you feel better soon. 🙏🏼

[@heatherlawson3437]

Hi George, I hope that you're doing ok? So sorry that you're going through health issues. I too, am in a similar situation. I agree that Lee is fabulous, I can't get out and about, so watching Lee is like going out and about with him. You take care.🤗

[@juniourst3ven596]

BIGger isn't always necessarily BATTER 😃

[@karlm2k8]

Hey Lee did you ever consider bringing your own knife and fork permanently for eating outdoors? Hello from Tipperary Ireland

[@rhodaborrocks1654]

Murgatroyd was the name of a mascot on the UK TV series called Magpie which aired in the '60s and '70s and the name was suggested by a viewer, they invited their audience to write in with suggestions and Murgatroyd was the winning entry.

[@lucee2261]

How incredibly interesting!

[@robinharrison3907]

That looks really nice Bud ❤❤Watching at 7am on Thursday and now feeling really hungry 🎉🎉

[@Smiff1066]

Fish ( Cod ) and chips cost nothing when I was growing up in the 60's 18 quid for fish n chips is nuts.

[@soldierssoldier.1503]

Funny that, I remember chips at 5d a bag, then 6d fish was 10d rising to 1’ shilling, happy days.

[@Sergethehog]

We visit Murgatroyds every couple of weeks and our favourite is the fish bites and chips. In full agreement and would highly recommend this place. More expensive to eat in but staff have been excellent so far. 👍

[@michaelrobinson6074]

Don't agree with some comments fish looked well cooked I give it 10 plus

[@terencesaunders1357]

The largest cod caught was 212lb. They can grow to 51 inches.

[@DerrickWhittle-mm7jz]

Just posted cod can be 25 pounds fish is portioned. Chances of catching 212 again very slim over fishing.

[@emeretii]

A standard haddock and chips at Murgatroyds is more than enough for me. Highly recommended … with Mushy Peas and Yorkshire Tea of course

[@Eric_G65]

Fish looked good but the chips seemed like there were a lot of scrag ends and they looked a bit soggy.

[@markstramtrainbuscapades1729]

It's YOOORRRKSHIRE! Of course it's done in beef dripping!

[@Corinthian44]

Murgatroids is my favourite too ! For those unfamiliar with the area , it's in Yeadon , Leeds , and only one mile away from Leeds / Bradford airport , towards Bradford ; don't worry , still 6 miles from it .

[@leftin74]

Hi, glad to see the Premier in the back ground. The wife and I will be coming over from Oz and meeting up with the wife’s Brother and Wife coming over from the US and also her younger Brother up from London in a couple of weeks.We normally stay at relatives but after 50 years there are not many close ones left. So we are getting together for a week at the Premier before going our seperate ways again . we will definitely be paying Murgatroids a visit while there. We have to do some scattering of the Mother in law’s ashes in the river Wharfe at Burnsall that’s why we’re all together. Harry Ramsdens is also close bye,although my Mother said they didn’t go there any more because if had “ gone off” Keep up the good work Lee the Wife and I are keen followers of your blog.

[@liamt7589]

The Fish looked supreme and the batter sumptuously crispy.. Great Video Lee 👌🏻

[@alexmajor5070]

Would've of split that into 2 meals, but a big no no was sticking the fish on top of the chips and prefer the 2 separate so stays crispy and not wet and limp chips 9/10

[@johnsmith-rs2vk]

And the mushy peas in a silver dish .

[@peepshowtube]

£17 is still a lot - £13-£14 is reasonable. £1.20 for mushy peas is a rip off, as usual. I would have expected pickled egg/onion/gherkin to be cheaper.

[@atlantean114]

I've never been to Murgatroyd's but I'm certainly tempted to make the journey up there at some point to give them a go. To me, Upton coal fired chippy blows everywhere else away that I have ever visited, and some of those others have been excellent!

[@bentullett6068]

What they still use coal fired ovens. I thought they only existed in museums like Beamish and The Black Country Living Museum.

[@andybrace4983]

OMG.....that fish looks like the sole of a tramps shoe

[@davidworsfold6589]

[@eileenmclean1274]

Never mind a bigger boat, you need a bigger box 😂😂😂

[@samhodgson9928]

Lee,I live in Ilkley now but Leeds born and bred and hands down this is the best fish and chips around,not far from Leeds Bradford Airport if people want a land mark. I was here the other month with Dad and brother its great. Very busy with coach parties and older folk but just fantastic.

[@simong7539]

Just proves there are still big haddock in the sea despite what the conservationists want us to think.

[@popeyedish]

There are still big haddock in the sea because of the conservationists.....

[@neilgodwin6531]

They don't "want us to think" anything. They're just reporting facts. When reading Internet conspiracy theories ask yourself "what would they have to gain from lying about global warming?"

[@wildthing6668813]

Could possibly feed 2 or three people on that fish and an extra portion of chips.

[@simmosimmo100]

Our little local chippy does a large cod and small chips for £13. (Just gone up from £12) The fish is top quality and bigger than that one, and does us three adult meals. The chips does us four meals. And I am not telling where I live. (Not near the sea either.)

[@cmpyrah]

Meal was lovely nothing to complain about. I had big un partner had special. Fully agree with the review however. One thing I would say however is while we were sat eating waitress who seemed to be in charge was talking to couple next to us about a regular who was expected anytime and her table was ours. Wich felt a bit off as if she had booked it then we should not have been seated there. On our exit the queue was out the door and the lady who wanted our table came in went straight past queue and said to waitress is my table ready and walked straight to it. The people at front of queue said they had been waiting for there booked table but had to wait. I would like to say that they should not be prioritising to regulars if one person in queue had to wait then all should. Not just allowing her to walk past long queue and be seated b4 others.. Made us feel rushed. 1st come 1st served. No special treatment should be given

[@steevobarker581]

It's basically two portions of fish and chips in the one box. That being said did look excellent. For me though, I'd have opted for what we call the "kiddies cone" of chips, and I would have had the chips in a separate box so they don't "sweat". On a note about fish and chips generally, I tend to opt for a small portion. Not because of me being a light eater, on the contrary. But it's because I have a low boredom threshold, and it gets boring quickly. Everyone has their favourite, but I'm going to plug my mate Dave in The Craftsman pub in Qawra (Malta). Best fish and chips on the island, and it's cod too, on an island where cod isn't easily available. Read the reviews. First class.👍👍🇲🇹🇲🇹

[@Gus0898uk]

Eating that outside with NO seagulls! Heaven.

[@shyloq]

If your getting fish n' chips the only drink you should be having is Dandelion & Burdock. No if nor buts . It's practically law.

[@GaryYork-tk2ow]

I always have a D&B with my F&C.

[@timwilliams5046]

This is a great channel. Love the personality, but it is SO over produced it takes ages to get to the point. Major major fail for a channel that has real promise. I mean the shots on the picnic table. Really 2 minutes? Gotta get better

[@Northanteus]

Personal preference. Others like the extra stuff. 🤷‍♂️

[@polarfloyd5437]

@beardmeatsfood please do a colab with Macmaster 💪 that would be amazing

[@stuarthunter7559]

I live locally and we go regularly. Lovely food lovely staff clean and lovely restaurant interior. Always packed. I always go for the monster haddock. Never had a bad meal. People say it's pricey but it's excellent value especially compared to Gordon Ramsey's 😅

[@andywilson9614]

I'm a big eater not sure I would have finished all that well done Lee great video this

[@michaelwalton4118]

Looked good, great price to 👍

[@a1harrogate]

I'm living in the Philippines - flying back for a long vacation in September, and one of my first ports of call will be Murg's. Living previously in North Yorkshire and traveling extensively in the UK, I still hold Mugatroyds in the #1 plaice (😂) in the length & breadth of Britain. *CAN'T WAIT* ❗

[@Queenfan-kh1bz]

This place is the best, Yorkshire is definitely up there with the most best places to eat out

[@vincehassanwalia5539]

Hi Lee, I had a similar sized cop and chips at 'The Pump House' pub at Albert Dock in Liverpool once, the fish was so big it was served on a chopping board because they did not have big enough plates. The meal was lovely. I am stuffed just watching you eat 'Jaws'.

[@colinraine8245]

10/10 for me Lee ... looked fantastic ...with batter that good I'll bet they do fantastic " Scraps" 😋

[@Megavector2022]

Grey, dry looking fish, you can't get really get fresh fish so far away from the coast. And the batter had infiltrated the fish. The 'big papa' at Papas in Willerby, Hull is a much more appetising big fish. Very fresh (which is the key) & much better batter than that. Was thinking about trying Murgatroyds, but not going to bother now. Thanks for posting, saved me a journey.

[@ThePorkypete51]

You do know most of our fish is caught in Iceland/Faroes Is. Doesn't really matter how far from the coast you are, its all been frozen weeks before. Papa's is good though.

[@Megavector2022]

Yes Pete, I realise it's all been flash frozen. Some independents buy their fish regularly from Grimsby fish market (Pollards Plaice, Hull is one of them) therefore it cuts out the wholesaler and gets on your plate more quickly. Like any other foodstuff the longer it's frozen, the more it degrades. @@ThePorkypete51

[@peterblease2566]

No porkies Lee [Ernie] but did you eat all that if so well done but half size half price will do for me . by the way i think beard would get a clean plate in less than 10 min and had a pudding.

[@cwcw4805]

100% the very best,without doubt........

[@samhodgson9928]

Totally agree,kicks the whaler into touch in my opinion

[@michael6401]

Waffer thin mint sir ? Lol, great looking fish n chips again though served on top of the chips 😵‍💫 give the chips their own box lol 10/10

[@lucee2261]

True. It steams the chips & can make them unnecessarily soggy. I've only recently discovered this - ask for the chips boxed separately.

[@sharonellis8776]

Just when you thought it was safe to go to the chippy ! That is insane, enough there for a family xx

[@millek3111]

I do love Irn Bru with chippy tea. Next best thing to dandelion and burdock which is the ultimate dream chippy beverage... :)

[@simongrego4231]

I took some of my Polish colleagues there the other week, i had a fantastic piece of cod, one of my colleagues had the Giant Haddock, which beat him.... not cheap, but you get what you pay for....top job!

[@johnsmith-rs2vk]

Skal !

[@robhallam8047]

Took my wife to Saltburn by the Sea yesterday afternoon to try and get a table at the Seaview Restaurant but failed....massively popular since telly visited (Fred Sirieix visited with Nadya Hussain). Fall back position was takeaway from their chippy downstairs. Had Haddock n Chips and Whitby Scampi n Chips and went and scoffed em on the pier. I don't know how they do it but the fish tasted nothing like fish from an inland chippy. It was buttery, white as white can be and the batter (incl scraps) was perfect with perfect chips n peyz on't side. Definitely going back but will book a table next time.

[@lucee2261]

Got to admit; i agree with you - it's my favourite chippy, too. We were there recently, prior catching a flight, from the next-door airport, & struggled a bit even with the standard size portions. That fish batter is to die for. Just try to avoid Sundays - the Blue rinse brigade, invade the place.😂

[@markriley5863]

My advice to them would be to get some bigger boxes.

[@jglasernyc]

I'm not an expert but it looked a bit over cooked and the chips looked awful. A 7.5 for me.

[@johnmackintosh3952]

Been before it's not that good for me it's a 7.5

[@jay-lm4we]

Are you crazy, that's a 7.6 all day long!!

[@MrBaronCabron]

"overcooked fish and terrible chips, 7.5/10" Do you understand how ratings work hahaha, how are you hypothetically rating something well above average when you've said it looks overcooked and awful

Thought the fish looked like it had been left out too long. Bet it would be amazing when fresh. I hope you took some of the fish home for the cats?

[@75WW75]

There is but one truly great chip shop in the UK. So much so I drive 250 mile round trip to eat there every 2 weeks. Ok, I visit family, but i go for the chips. Ocean Boat Fish & Chips, in Stourbridge. Featuring the Black Country delicacy of Battered Chips. You will find no better chips than here, fair trek from Mansfield, so give the Porsche a decent charge😉

[@robhallam8047]

Have people never seen the size of a cod?? This is just a fillet from a large cod just not cut in two for standard sized cod portions.

[@marynorth7988]

Oh my dear ...have you tried Marco's in Arbroath....one can sit outside the shop and watch the fish being unloaded in the harbour !! There is a restaurant yards away as well as the takeaway. So fed up I am in Yorkshire BUT blessed to have family close to this place ! Still I belong in Yorkshire and Whitby is just a couple of hours away !

[@matthewgodwin3050]

Crikey, I've never seen so much food on one plate in all my life. That amount of fish and chips would last me for four meals. Can't believe you managed to eat so much in one go. I'd have been happy with a quarter of that. Looked really good, but I'd need a few friends, and a couple of labradors to help me eat all of that. Please tell me they sell smaller portions. I'd quite like to try it out myself when I'm next in Leeds, but I simply couldn't eat that amount of food. It redefines the meaning of the term overwhelming.
