Fish and Chips is one of the most popular British foods in the UK along with a full english breakfast, afternoon tea and roast dinner. But what is the best fish and chips? Is it a cheap budget version or is it an expensive version?
In this video I compare both to find out which is best.

I have to pay £15 for a large cod and chips. They do special offers for pensioners but generally it’s a case of ‘don’t want to pay it? then go without. I live in Essex so it’s not as if it’s London prices.

When a restaurant doesn't even bother to name the type of fish they use [in this case the expensive place], I steer clear. Pollock? Tilapia? Who knows, but I want to know what I'm eating for more than twenty quid.

For the price I think the Wetherspoons is good. The food is pre prepared, but they use premium food, a bit like buying a Tesco Finest ready meal, which I think is good for the price

Wow! Such a difference in price for essentially the same ingredients but the dearer one looks so freshly cooked and tasty, I'd willingly pay it. Down here in London you couldn’t even buy a portion from the chippy for the price you paid to eat the cheaper one in a restaurant, and we don’t get mushy peas either!

Looks like you got the small fish and chips at Wetherspoons and compared against a standard/ large at the more expensive place. In the afternoon after 2pm you can get their larger fish and chips ,pease and inc a large soft drink for £7.19...or £6.12 for the small one you had . I've had the regular at my local and a pint of San Miguel for £8.59 ... really tasty and with a premium lager great value .

I wasn't to sure when I saw the first one but as you were eating it it grew on me and it was a very good price. The expensive looked lovely but it was rather expensive. I don't think i would pay 21 pounds for it though. I would have to go for the cheaper one

The Best fish and chips is the one you can enjoy the most of it. Last year, on my London travel, after visiting the Tower of London, I ate a really big fish and chips dish which was around 15 pounds and I almost could not finish it because of the big size of the greatly battered fish and the incredibly crispy and big side of chips. But it was so delicious, I finished it and left with a big smile on my face. By the way, great video!

Hi, just started watching your videos, really well presented and informative. 👏 I’m just wondering when you do the comparisons between 2 different places do you have them both in the same day? (I know you’re always dressed the same) If you do them both in the same day you must have one heck of appetite, and I take my metaphorical hat off to you. 🎩👍

The first place being a Wetherspoons looked par for the course for them. The chips and peas looked nice enough, but the fish didn't look too good although you said it was nice. The second place for me had the more appetising meal and the fish was more meaty. I just hate the plate fillers that had the peas and chips in, I want all my food on the plate and not in pots. I'd have to go for the second restaurant here though. Nice video.

In Leeds for Fish and Chips it has to be Whitelocks but the chippie across from Stick and Trist has to to get a mention, Hook and Line. Then there is the Merchant £10 including a drink and the last place YOU WANT TO AVOID has to be The Ivy, a complete rip off. The Conservatory used to be popular but that was before the pandemic and last but not least, the Adelphi although I have not been there for a while

One way to look at it... Buy 3 portions of the less expensive meal and you will not quibble on value for money... The cheaper meal seemed to be punching well above its weight... Though sometimes on the flip side you did find the expensive meal tastier and if you are out and about and its the only option, from a taste point of view you are not losing out.. Given the choice... Cheaper meal wins

The expensive one is in the old city square post office and rather over priced as for wetherspoons it seems to depend on which one you visit for example the fish varies in size and the one I last had at Beckett's bank was rank as it tasted of curry

Homemade Fish, Chips, and Homemade Mushy peas are always going to taste better than Weatherspoons Cheap Nasty food. My apologies for the negative on Weatherspoons but I am not a fan of the company. Really try to find a Greene King as their Fish and chips are outstanding. The Mushy peas from the expensive place is Pea puree thicker which looks like Pea soup but it's definitely worth it.

You would class both places as a restaurant. But you cant beat a real chippy. The first one may have filled the gap, the second one very over priced. I am a Londoner and they cant do F&C. Oh but wait a minute there is a small chain of three places, I am told the fish is spot on. Small Cod £17.50, large £21.45. Small chips £4.50, large £5.50. Curry sauce £3.50 It maybe the cost of rent etc. Passed by 5 years ago with my son, bag of chips mate. There was resentment, from the old boy behind the counter that we didn’t want F&C . Well you can keep it for the Tourists, we walked away. And when we do visit the area , me thinks they are still having a Giraffe.
