The BEST PLACE to EAT in BENALMADENA You WON'T find BETTER FOOD in The Costa Del Sol I GUARANTEE YOU

[@derrickdavidson8872]

We here n Tenerife because of u big guy all the way from Cincinnati Ohio I’ve meet Daniel n Sarah at Tenerife first excursion N booked 3 excursion that were bloody amazing Mate My holiday has been everything with your help 😊

[@TheMacMaster]

Have a fantastic time. Hopefully back in the USA very soon. 👍🏼

[@davidmalarkey1302]

Best plough man's lunch at Potters Lodge. Walked passed one of our favorites Palm 5 Beach Bar.

[@paulcole4902]

I'm only just after 3 minutes into this video of yours so a ploughman's in the day and try the pie in the evening when the weather is a bit cooler 👍

[@jonathanroberts1696]

Frozen pastry, frozen chips, frozen veg, pre buttered bread. Usually you deduct points galore for these things. But not this time!

[@samboyle4779]

totally agree maybe lee has had to much sun.

[@codyjarrett9685]

I hate frozen chips

[@codyjarrett9685]

Perhaps he's on an earner?

[@TheMacMaster]

LOL! I wish I was!

[@rob9994]

Loved at the end your chip and mushy peas butty, go for it lad! As my gran used to say “a little of what you fancy does you good” A wise woman. Enjoy Lee xx

[@barrycruttenden7544]

Dave and Rose owned the bar for many years and built a fab trade and loyal customer base. Glad to see it still open and doing well with new owners.

[@margaretnadin8030]

Oh dear Lee, as my Mum always said 'puff pastry for desserts, short crust for meat' and I agreed with her and still do. I would not have ordered that but the ploughmans looked fantastic. Jim N

[@richardhorry]

As someone who has an appetite of a small Sparrow, that chip butty alone would keep me going all afternoon. Enjoy!🙂. Benalmadena is a firm favourite destination of ours.👍

[@stephenwilliams5178]

If you’re not trying local places in Arroyo, you are missing out. Never understood why people go abroad and don’t eat local dishes. English breakfasts, Sunday dinners etc etc, you have in the UK, go abroad and sample the produce.

[@yamaha.rider11]

I like it when you give us a clip of how you film👍. Always love your content as you know. Keep up the good work 👍👍

[@ROGERPIC77]

Lee..it's great to see you enjoying Benalmádena, I think now you will know why I have been coming here for 31 years without a brake.. before the pandemic and during it.. I hope you walk around in the evenings and partake in some of the Spanish social life.. its an outdoor life here ... I keep trying to bump into you but you keep avoiding me 😅😅😅😅.. the Bonanza area above the Chippy you went to is very lively.. I'm there now.. untill about 1 am 🎉🎉🎉🎉😂

[@davidwil58]

It’s not a pie, it’s braised steak with some puff pastry plonked on top. Chips didn’t look home made. Am sure it was ok but I think you went with the intention of giving it a ten so that’s what it got! Anyone else notice the lady in the background not eating but hogging a table? Go, and let someone else have the table when it’s busy!

[@ImAtLevel53]

That ploughman’s looks lush Lee, get back for the ploughman’s get some Tabasco sauce on that lush steak pie! Lovely chip butty a la mushy peas and tomato de la ketchup

[@garycadle5487]

Looked spot on Lee

[@robtitheridge9708]

Agree Lee the food did look fantastic worth th 10 plus you gave it.

[@cynt1111]

great traditional spanish food.

[@mariavandenbosch2723]

10 out of 10. Already started looking for a plane to Malaga 😊

[@lee10330]

Go to a Spanish restaurant and have the Menu del Dia, 3 courses and a drink for roughly 12 Euros, between 2 and 4, an absolute bargain.

[@mikepowell9326]

Great video once again Lee so love Costa del sol ❤

[@richardgetlevog3123]

Hi mate. That looked lovely. The pastry and the filling seemed mouthwatering. I'm not a huge fan of carrots or mushy peas but i will still eat them if they're on the plate. I always put gravy on my veg too. I'm still going to give it a 10/10 just hecause of the pie and the price. I've just got back from Rhodes by the way and defeated my fear of flying i was telling you about. Lovely place. I think you'd like it over there as the weather was great and the food we had was fantastic. Especially the lamb, beef and Kofta dishes. Thanks for sharing mate as always👍🙂

[@HelenHoward-o1g]

Was great to meet you in the drunken sailor food was brilliant ... thanks for putting us on your vlog and taking the time for a chat Helen Wendy and Matthew

[@TheMacMaster]

Hey. Was great to meet you. 🕶️

[@ianthomas1060]

I'm in the group of people who don't get the idea of going abroad and eating the food you can eat in the UK anytime? I'm not saying eat Spanish all the time, but come on folks...When in Rome as they say. For example that food looked pretty rubbish to me and I really enjoy a good pie. 3.5/10. The main thing is that it's another top vid and I'm loving this series, yesterdays vid on the cable cars was brilliant, watch it if you haven't !

[@DrFrankLondon]

If you're in Spain, why don't you proper Spanish food? Seriously Lee, I don't see the poin of going to Costa del Sol and eat British food. You need to open your horizon and go where the locals go, that's where you find the best food. UK and British tourism have tried to colonize parts of Spain by opening and serving British cuisine. But as half British and half Spanish, I have to say you're missing out on a lot of delicious food.

[@TheMacMaster]

Lol. 😂 I filmed a vlog today Tapas in Malaga and mentioned about people saying eat local. 😂 I couldn't even look at half of it. Made me feel ill. Looking back at me. 😂 check out my Community Page. 😉

[@DrFrankLondon]

@@TheMacMaster there is no remedy for you is it!! ❤️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@johnoconnor7536]

Lee, Don't think you tried very hard. Tapas is just a series of small dishes and can consist of anything. There is usually loads of choice even for someone as fussy as you. Come on get a grip.

[@andyramsey2794]

Some people don’t get this channel 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@TheMacMaster]

LOL! ;)

[@jockyboy5887]

To answer your question about the tivoli it went into recievership two years ago had my first holliday abroad in 1999 went there with the family it was an amazing place

[@davidnm21]

I once had a steak and ale pie like that with a flakey pastry top in a pub in York I can always remember it as I had a pint of Cameron’s Strong Arm with it. Sadly I’m not into my real ale anymore, I’m more of a cider/lager drinker now, but that steak pie did look good. What an excellent place to eat and drink. Those Ploughman’s looked the real deal it ever I saw one. Proper English grub abroad this place. Incidentally I use my iPhone 11 for filming and making videos. Nice vlog Lee.

[@amp1]

That looks fantastic. Wish I could travel again.❤

[@TulipB89]

Lee you are a closed book when it comes to food 🤣 I don't even eat “British” food when I am in the UK. I only watch due to curiosity about how much unhealthy food people consume. The best places to eat when abroad are where the other diners are the locals

[@iancrawley4009]

Meat looked nicely slow cooked but I despise those frozen puff pastry tops. Shortcrust or suet pastry top all day long. Gravy looked bit iffy

[@Richard-gk3kq]

I wasn’t expecting the pie to be like that with a piece of puff pastry on top of the meat. My mum used to make her own pastry (not puff pastry) and it really made the pie, just to die for. I would score it a 7 or 7.5 out of 10 due to the puff pastry.

[@nickgolding5786]

Looked nice but that’s a cheats way out just plonk a sheet of frozen puff on top ,a pie is shortcrust top and bottom ,or shortcrust bottom puff top, 6.5/10

[@Stewart.T]

Or you buy in those pie tops pre-prepared and frozen. I used to be a brewery area manager and that's how we did it. The pie filling came in a jar.

[@montyf3594]

If any pub in the UK has a Ploughman's, a proper spicy chilli con carne, black pudding, or a cheese board it gets at least an extra point ..

[@shyroneridley2162]

Go for the Ploughmans Lunch today! 😅🍛🍻

[@richardlong6789]

Sheffield Wednesday fan??? Should've chucked him in the sea 🤣🤣🤣

[@markmangan845]

Excellent lee, you've convinced me to book for next year, even though I'm terrified of flying and have never been on a plane before, the place looks great 😊😎👍

[@philnotley5138]

I’ve been a Benidorm fan for years and had many trips there however your latest extravaganza in benalmadena have made me want to re visit soon I used to rent an apartment there years ago with my kids when they were little it was great looks even better now 20 years on , thanks mate.

[@petecromvillful]

Enjoying the videos Lee keep them going we will be there in two weeks time, a must for us when in Benalmadena is a visit to Paloma Park, it is just up the hill towards Arroya from the Windmill roundabout, the park has a lake with turtles,and has a vast array of free roaming wildlife rabbits chickens peakcocks some goats and many more, the beautiful park has amazing gardens and even has a canabis growing area, a massive cactus garden and all sorts of wonderfull species, also a few coffee bars for refreshment including beer🤣🤣

[@georgemartin9618]

He passed through the park but was too busy licking his magnum to notice the attractions. Didn't know about the cannabis area will investigate when I'm there mid October.

[@Law24809905]

You can't beat a bit of escapism. Great vlogs lee.

[@RickW..]

If I’m honest I wouldn’t have either. My pals Phil and Janice would agree 😂. Still watching though Lee, keep em coming 👍👍

[@rosiewoodss]

Omg that looks the best Lee presentation was so different to the jacket potato and steak you had the other day plus the pastry on that pie was just how I'd like it and the filling that's what I call a pie 🥧 😀 😋 I defently think of going there if I visit the place

[@unysis212]

Not a bad video Lee. Constructive comments would be you spend too much time in Benalmadena neglecting other places & there are too many good restaurants to review without going to the same one twice (or 3 times as it will be soon).

[@TheMacMaster]

I film 3 vlogs a day, so I've not left Benalmadena yet on the vlogs. Filmed in Fuengirola, Malaga and off to Gibraltar on Monday. It may appear I haven't left, but I have. :) It's cos the last 5 days vlogs have been filmed in 2-3 days.

[@unysis212]

@@TheMacMaster Busy man. Keep up the good work.

[@travelinman41]

There are plenty of great places to eat at in that area. I'm heading out there this week and definitely need to try this place!

[@weddison]

It’s got to be ploughman’s my favourite

[@hazelb7218]

Lol....that ploughman's looked lovely....you gotta go back for it x But also go back to that restaurant you passed with Spanish people in it....always a good sign to eat where locals eat!! x

[@fionakennedy8465]

I loved how you were trying to squeeze more out of the gravy😂😂😂

[@darrenwilson8042]

That flaky pastry crust reminds me of a Fray Bentos tinned pie except more upmarket in that the flaky pastry was actually cooked through

[@RobbieB2024]

Mac u need to do bacon n cabbage in Ireland , when u think about about coming back to Ireland , get someone outside Galway !

[@millek3111]

Looked delicious! Already looks like a very popular restaurant but this and many of your other videos are a great advertisement for the type of small, family owned business we should all be supporting :)

[@livinginromania]

Pie looked fantastic Lee, easy 10. Can't wait for your video on the Ploughman's, which looked extraordinary. Absolutely right about the small Spanish bar: give it a go for some Tapas. I live in Romania and my wife won't go into a restaurant/bar unless it is full of locals!

[@paulgibbons6170]

Nice one Lee - walked past the drunken sailor a million times and never called in. We'll try it out when we go in a few weeks time. Benalmadena is the best place in the world - have a walk around Cariheula while you're there!

[@jakenicholls9914]

Filling looked really good but I can’t stand puff pastry on a pie. I can hear mi mother spinning in her grave at the thought 😂

[@Fullmoonhowl101]

I do like the "frey bentos" style pies with no sides sometimes. That looked amazing

[@jethrokatt5113]

That place looks amazing and we will defo be visiting. Quality food and great service by the looks of it. A winning combination. Best of luck to the owners, not that they need it as I'm sure that place will remain a success for years to come. Loving your videos as its cheering us up in cloudy depressing England.

[@diannehardwick950]

That looked delicious. I can’t wait till you go back for the ploughman’s lunch. What a plate full!

[@samboyle4779]

the best pie you can ever have is one you make yourself.

Excellent video, (as usual) and I'm really surprised that you do them on crappy iPhones😉

[@TheMacMaster]

Oy! Lol. 😉

[@Tidybitz]

Yes, I too liked the look of that restaurant and meal and I'd certainly try it if I were to visit there. The bread and butter to mop up the gravy is not just a Scottish thing, I'm English and grew up doing it as did many others, and still do, yum yum. I'd have needed more gravy on the meal though I think.

[@EvilSie]

You should try the steak house where all the locals were mate. Might be a better compromise than eating all the food that looks back at you 😁

[@helenshort2000]

Steak pie looks so delicious we will be going there next May , thank you Lee for your amazing recommendations .

[@missliverpoolcatlady]

Yum ❤ seriously thinking of going there next year on one of my girls holidays xx

[@Neil070]

Pies without a base or sides are called pot pies or deep dish pies, or as we called them Fray Bentos!😂 Mary Berry says they are pies and that's good enough for me 😊 Looked delicious but I would have had ploughman's at lunchtime, steak pie in the evening, when it's cooler

[@dianeshepherd7913]

Looked a fabulous lunch, generous portions 😊

[@richardgelber2740]

What do you mean I won't find bitter food? I don't think I would like a chip butty anyway, but adding ketchup and mushy peas pretty much seals the deal. That Ploughman's looked like a Scottish bento box... but it could be good... If those chips are lined up like railroad tracks, I'll see you on the 1658 to King's Cross.

[@haze4307]

It amazes me how much you eat. Its like man Vs food Lee lol I'm off there in Oct with my grandkids so will deffo try this place and we are staying Sunset beach Club so not far to walk and the Mrs would love the ploughman's.

[@christinehodge3608]

Food looked delicious, 😊

[@lparky4409]

Ploughmans (or should it be ploughpersons) looked good. When I was a child back in the olden days of the 50s a school friend went to tea with another friend, they were sent to the local chippy with 6d for a bag of chips and were given some bread and marge to make chip butties. That was the first we heard of doing that, her parents were not impressed from what I remember. Have done it since though.

[@ashman4357]

Looked great that pal 👍 i love a chip butty with peas and ketchup on. ploughman's looked good too win win

The Mac back on the singing ginger and the meat pies. Who could have guessed it? Looks decent mate - look forward to the Ploughman's.

[@TonyOReilly]

A pie is pastry on top, a flan is pastry on the bottom and a tart is between 2 sheets of pastry!! A pie can also have a bottom and top!
