As an ex kitchen manager at Spoons, the fish comes in frozen, we defrost it in the refrigerator. It is floured and battered fresh by hand and deep fried when ordered. You’ll. know if it hasn’t been defrosted properly as the fish will curl in the fryer. Tinned mushy peas microwaved, frozen McCain chips. Good value for money

@Rondawwg Год назад

Thanks for the info.

@joncurtis199 Год назад

Its amazing how many people dont realise spoons actually batter the fish. Mind you, there are some who believe microwaves 100% of the menu

@dannyoneill939 Год назад

Seems pretty standard

@David-R-Hall Год назад

@@joncurtis199 oh there’s definitely a lot of microwaving, we had 4 industrial, high powered microwaves in our kitchen.

As an American in UK, I frequently eat at Wetherspoons. It is usually a solid hearty meal at an excellent price

@rogana5158able Год назад

In South Australia instead of mushy peas we have salad and coleslaw.

I was in Stirling Witherspoon one afternoon and the offer was fish and chip special.with garden peas and a drink for under five pounds......it was first class so tasty and well presented .l will be back ......yummy.

@michaelkobylko2969 Год назад

If you're ever in England (or more widely the UK), don't go to Wetherspoon's looking for fish and chips. You want to find a high quality fish and chip shop or cafe.

@DisneyMarkUK Год назад

You can’t complain at them, pretty descent and good value. Plus the app is a godsend. Cheers to you both.

@smithscreative Год назад

Yep the fish is proper Cod and is 100% made in freshly made batter before frying... and the pizzas are all handmade too at a proper pizza station... they do not skimp on ingredient quality as any savvy business knows you can't fool the public anymore... it's all buying power value and extremely well run as a business. No end of line beers just an awesome procurement team with a very large wallet.

Yes! I think they're great value 😊

At the end of the day you get what you pay for, but most meals are good value in this pub chain 👍👍👍👍

This sneering snob is just back from enjoying his pint of Doom Bar and scampi, chips and mushy peas. Terrific value at just over £8.

I distinctly heard the crunch. Looks good to me for the price. Never been in a Wetherspoons pub.

You just cant whack the value for money at wetherspoons. 1.25p cup of tea/ coffee With endless top ups and a warm place for the old biddies to hang out all day.

@bryonyo6858 Год назад

I used to work in a spoons kitchen yeeaarrss ago and I wouldn't wish that job on my worst enemy. Could have just been the one I worked at, but it was hellish. Hats off to anyone that sticks it out. Food is what you expect for the price, if not better sometimes. I used to enjoy fish Friday and Steak club because it was real raw food being cooked to order and not stuff in the microwave.

@nellyb2434 Месяц назад

Have to say I've never had a bad meal at Spoons over the years but I feel your pain - I've personally found that in pub/restaurant/hotel work on the whole. Hard slog for very little reward!

@theflossingfisherman7925 Год назад

We have a large Wetherspoons in Ormskirk and all the students from Edge Hill University can eat there every day and have one good meal that will keep the wolf from the door cheaper than they can cook back at their student digs. That's great for them and their parents knowing they are eating and socialising.

Good vid 👍🏼 Had Cod & chips with mushy peas at several Wetherspoons pubs all over the UK & I always enjoy the meal. The value for money is excellent in this day & age 😋

@alanmccoll7019 Год назад

I always expected the fish and chips at Wethers to not be high quality, not in a snobby way i just didnt see for the price that it would be that good until i saw one come out to someone and it looked amazing, i had it next time and it is some of the best fish and chips ive had recently, very impressed with it for the price, especially in that afternoon deal, not that i can get there in the afternoon!

@8807smoore Год назад

try Ryans in Caister, about time you toured Caister again. Plus there'll be a new cafe at the lifeboat shed soon.

I really enjoy your videos! When I had a home full of children, "home grown" and foster children, we made full use of a family railcard, and travelled all over the British Isles every school holiday! Your experience of the various places you stay in, reminds me so much of the variety of experiences we had!!!

@nellyb2434 Месяц назад

Love it! I can hand on heart say I have never had a bad meal at Spoons! Their pizzas are fab too! My son and I went to Bute Park in Cardiff at Christmas with friends to see the light displays and omg, the food village left a very bitter taste in my mouth. We had the equivalent of one large pizza (in single slices) and a small portion of McDonald style fries for £65!! No drinks, that was it! We went to Spoons the next day where the food was not only better but came to no more than £40 for 4 full meals and drinks!

@danielledewitt1 Год назад

Last time I had fish and chips at a local weatherspoons I noticed chips uncooked. Sent it back a number of times still got chips they hadn’t bothered cooking.

@iworkout6912 Год назад

Having fish and chips at various restaurants in the UK, I don't see much difference in what you get vs the American "Fish Fry". Fish fry's are I think, better in New England than say Florida or California where you don't see them as much.

@amandabrown3946 Год назад

What a coincidence,just come back from spoons with daughter had fish and chips,really good value,and great service in penzance.

@ttonypayne5077 Год назад

One thing to add? your last statement I.E "The chips were NOT chip shop chips" It's not a chip shop. thankfully they are better thn most F & c shops.

Canadian here, I really miss the good fish'n'chips drenched in malt vinegar with proper mushy peas I've enjoyed on my many trips all over the UK. Really good fish'n'chips here in our Maritime provinces (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and PEI) but sadly no decent mushy peas anywhere.

@WalkWithMeTim Год назад

@maddoctor99 Год назад

Here in BC, NO-ONE knows how to do traditional fish and chips. The locals seem to think it’s great here but the batter is almost always yellow, smooth and chewy - much more like tempura than the real stuff. Plus it’s never fried in lard or shortening like it is in a proper English chippy. Also, the fish portions are always extremely stingy as they use offcuts which resemble short, stubby batons rather than a whole side of the fillet. So they tend to give you two or three pieces which just means pounds of chewy batter and not a lot of actual fish. A couple of expats have recently opened a “traditional British chip shop” nearby which I’m going to try at the weekend but I’m pretty sure the chips will either be skin-on (wildly popular here for some reason but always taste of soil if you don’t bother to peel the spuds) and too thin. Whenever I go back home to the UK, fish and chips from my old local chip shop is the first meal I have! Don’t forget the “non-brewed condiment” too - no respectable British chippy uses malt vinegar! :)

@cheriedodd9358 Год назад

Cup of tea with chips everytime for me too ☕. In fact last night my girls and I got a takeaway of fish and chips, I made a cup of tea and we had it on the beach. Perfect 👌

@mgthestrange9098 Год назад

If using those salt sachets, Pour a bit of the salt in the palm of your hand and pinch it onto your food with your fingers to spread it more evenly. I’m sure Spoons used to have salt & pepper shakers though.

@pearlkelly6337 Год назад

I really like spoons food, I always go for the bbq chicken melt, the pizza from there is actually really nice, the curry is nice too, you cant moan for the price when you can get a drink with it and usually pay an extra £1 for an alocholic drink

Fish n chips n mushy peas need to have Good batter crunch meaty fish chips need to be square cut crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside mushy peas no hard bits and not too dry so all in all the food looked pretty good well done spoons!! 8/10 fer me!!!

@janetterose2886 Год назад

Had fish and chip with mushy peas at Wetherspoon Velvet coaster Blackpool, it was dreadful, I would of asked for a refund but was tired, the batter was like eating a rock and when I finally got to the fish, there was only a small amount there, chips were good, and the peas to. Going to try again soon, it’s lovely on the top floor with a fabulous view. ❤️❤️❤️

@Tenerifelover Год назад

In recent years Wetherspoons has improved their fish and chips alot. Never beat a proper chippy however, esp the chips. I usually have chicken tikka masala when we go to Wetherspoons, you can't beat it. I've eaten it in many places over the years and ready made ones from shops and cooked my own from recipes and shop bought pastes. But no where has ever beat a Wetherspoons chicken tikka masala, I absolutely love it.

@NotForHire42 Год назад

Mate. Wetherspoons curry is better than it really ought to be. For anyone not a fan of spice, I'd ignore the chilli rating as it's complete bollocks. Very delicious though!!

@roonrider11 Год назад

Vinegar first on your chips followed by the salt this way the salt will stick to the chips

@IvoryWhites Год назад

I use the Weatherspoons app on my phone Tim! It's great being able to order & pay for your food from the comfort of your Table especially when you are sitting upstairs & great for anyone with mobility problems. I like Weatherspoons as the buildings are usually old buildings although not always restored expertly. There's all damp on the ceiling in my Weatherspoons local. The Mushy Peas looked nice! The chips in my Weatherspoons aren't crispy enough for me. And it's not first class Fish but for the price you pay in Weatherspoons it's fine. The plates you & Gaby were eating off had just the same design on them as the plates in my local Weatherspoons! Your were absolutely right Tim the Fish isn't the best & The chips aren't Fish Shops Chips! Glad you & Gaby enjoyed your Fish & Chips!

@brianfretwell3886 Год назад

I'm glad they fixed the two coffee machines behind you, the flashing yellow lights were distracting. It looked like the used coffee grounds containers were full and were emptied. As for the chips, I have seen boxes of McCains chips being delivered at one Wetherspoons when seeing them unload the lorry when I was having breakfast (The Mile Castle, Newcastle).

@betagombar9022 Год назад

Using the salt, pepper etc sachets is better, how many hands have touched the condiment shakers/bottles and haven't been cleaned 🤢 I've not had fish and chips in 9 months and have been craving it so bad, I will give in to that craving at some point I'm sure!!

@number6ix929 Год назад

Can't say I, nor anyone else I know have ever made such a fuss over sachets and packets such as this. Just tear off a small corner, it's really not so difficult is it?

@townicus5908 Год назад

Can't go wrong with it really for the price and looks very tasty indeed. I've not had the Fish and Chips in Spoons but very keen to try now although the best Fish and Chips I've had in a pub would be The Murderers in Norwich which sets a very high bar! Spoons for food there's good stuff on the menu, I've always been keen on their Pizzas, also enjoyed the Large Mixed Grill, The Half Chicken with Chilli Sauce or The Empire State Burger.

@Dan23_7 Год назад

For a spoons that didn’t look too bad. The usual generic bag chips but I was impressed with the fish. I had chippy for my dinner (lunch… I’m a northerner 😂) and I had to have a cup of tea with it. I think it’s an old school thing to do but it does feel right haha.

@Blahshog Год назад

I have this meal about once a month, my only criticism is that on one occasion my wife's fish was a little cold in the middle, the staff were great, they apologised and cooked her a fresh meal, which was fine. I have the large meal with a pint of bitter and I think it's about £8.50 on the weekday meal deal, when you consider that a pint is around £2.70 in 'spoons, you're getting the large meal for about £6, which is an incredible price. Glad you both enjoyed your meal.

@brusselssprouts560 Год назад

That is because the morons in the kitchen failed to read the cooking instructions properly when they chucked it in the microwave for you. They didn't cook her a "fresh meal", because they either re-cooked it or just threw another frozen offering in the microwave for you.

@G.0. Год назад

Being that you prefer your peas extra mushy, you could easily use your fork to mush them up some more. I know it's not ideal to have to do some extra work for food that you're paying for, but it is a pretty simple solution.
