With all the crap and misery going on at the moment on this planet, its a pure joy to put everything aside and watch your channel. Thankyou Gary and cameraman. Love it ❤
Agreed. "Let's give it a go" is such a great line as well, and I have it in my head if I'm feeling uncomfortable about something now. I just channel my inner Gary.
I have such huge respect for the channels that stray away from all the paid sponsorships. It's just overwhelming that every single channel you watch will advertise some bs products.
yip, usually by two 'graduate' engineers who were working for some big company, and suddenly came up with this ingenious product that will turn the industry upside down, blah blah blah, seems RU-vid allow this dishonesty to contine
Unfortunately RU-vid is paying out peanuts at the moment per view depending on the niche and seems to be getting worse so content creators have no choice but to add paid sponsors or affiliates to keep going.
Congratulations Gary!! A genuine man who deserves all the love and respect you’re shown. Your mother has raised you well, and your son ditto by you. Your warmth shines through, and your reviews are wonderful. Living in Australia, I save the reviews that interest me in a file, so I can “give them a go” each time I’m in the UK. Well earned is your popularity and growing base.
PS your son (the "cameraman") will be rightly proud of his dad. I am wholly confident your channel will grow and grow, such a nice, humble guy. I find with some you tube channels the success "goes to their heads", this will never happen with you Gary. Well done and very very happy for you. Nice guys can succeed.
Never knew cameraman was Gary’s son. Not gonna lie, whenever I see someone like Gary, knowing how great his relationship must be, with his son and his whole incredibly likeable, nice personality, always makes me wish I had a dad like this. All I got was anger and violence and even as a man, my dad is still kinda an angry monster. Always anger nothing else. I always knew it wasn’t my fault and there was nothing wrong with me but even now, I can’t understand why my dad was how he was. Of course, I’m not perfect and sometimes I think if I was, he’d have been different but then I look at the person he is and his personality and think it wouldn’t matter how I was, he is who he is and I just have to accept that. Although, if I’m honest, I’ve never felt like I am worth anything or special, apart from few friends I’ve had and past relationships but I got no love from parents and that really messes a person up. I often wish people like my parents, especially my father, either didn’t have children or get them adopted as babies. I guess maybe deep down my dad and others alike care but have too much anger issues But then I think, I can get incredibly angry sometimes and I can show love. Especially to those I love. I can deal with getting no love as a kid but can’t deal with how it’s shaped me as a person. Sorry for that but I just had to say it. Ps don’t worry I’m not depressed or anything juat when I think something important, sometimes I just have to say it.
@@grahamkelly8662 I am sorry to read about horrible father'I agree people like that should not have kids. Mine was a horrible monster to me especially I am female. Sadly fathers shown in movies and commercials who are fun,kind,loving. are not what we get in life. Others may do
To those whose dad's were not lovely to them I am deeply sorry. I hope in the present and in the future your find permanent love and permanent happiness
Gary you will get to the point of not being able to respond to everyone mate. Don't let it worry you - I'm sure I speak for the vast majority of people here that we will continue to watch you as we like you and the content.
I know Jason thank you, if it's becomes uncontrollable then I will just have to let some fall by the wayside but I don't like doing that... thank you :)
100K is just the start, the Gary revolution has begun ! Cod and chips is no longer a cheap meal so getting it right is so important. The batter makes the meal, not too much ( drain off excess ) and crispy is essential
The subs from 100k to 1 Million is a lot easier than from 1k to 100k. Gary is onto a winner and everyone likes him. All he has to do is carry on doing exactly what he's doing and he will get to 1 million, maybe only in 1 more year. This guy has all the ingredients (a pun? yep).
You know something Gary the reason you have got these fans in my opinion is cause you are one of the most humble genuine people out there. I truly feel you care about your subscribers. Keep it up love the content and more importantly you x
My nana who I looked after with dementia favourite saying fur coat no knickers,feel that about this place.. and congratulations on 100,000 you and your son deserve it and am sure your mum would be immensely proud of her son and grandson
Fur coat no knickers was a favourite phrase of my nana’s too among other choice and definitely non pc phrases. She wouldn’t have had a clue what woke was…….
@@dubster8086 god yeah that generation of sayings they used being doing 20 to life in prison….the thing is they had something that’s missing in the modern world…hearts of gold and do anything for anyone and give to first and last penny..my mum 87 went into Newcastle with friend walking down Northumberland street which packed with people,drug addict hit her friend for no reason broke her jaw she 90 lost her husband last year same time lost my mum lost my dad…she not left house since and on liquids as jaw wired..guy won’t even get caught..
@@twomacks1 that’s just shocking, the poor lady. Must have shaken your Mum up also. The fact is these people have no respect, no morals & won’t give a flying fk that he has destroyed this lady’s life. Your quite right that the chances are he’ll never get caught and if he does then his lawyer will blame his difficult childhood, his adhd, his peanut allergy, anything to make him the victim and get away with it
Gary, the way you introduce this video, shows exactly why you’ve hit this milestone. Your honesty, passion and generosity go a long way and make a huge difference compared to all the lesser reviewers online. Congratulations 🥳
Gary as I’ve said pretty much from the beginning you are the most honest, genuine and informative food blogger on RU-vid in my opinion. I use to like a couple of others but they’re more bombastic and louder than they use to be. You have stayed classy, and deliver your reviews with a friendly integrity. You’re a credit to RU-vid, a credit to yourself and to your family mate.
Gary is a treasure. Says it as it is but politely and with the air of a gentleman. Lets the facts speak for themselves without the need of vulgarity or being overly dramatic for views.
As someone who has been watching for awhile, thank you for responding to people in chat and for making these videos. It's why you hit 100k you an incredible creator who brings great videos and great vibes. So thank you and I look forward to more videos in the future.
The premium they charge to eat in is ridiculous. £8.95 for a fish finger butty if you take away, but £17.50 if you eat in. Crazy. Congrats on the 100K!
Its London mate. Property prices are crazy, commercial rates, cost to employ servers, wait staff, etc. Takeaway foods doesnt require a lot of that, whereas eat in food does
Let me make a comparison: Where I live I pay about 1,50 € per can of beer in the supermarket but the same beer in a pub will set me back between 5-7 € and I think that it is fair if you keep in mind the exploding real estate prices in Vienna and the fast rising costs for energy and labour. You will need someone to serve it, get the used glass, wash it and so on, the same applies for restaurants.
The cost to have a shop in this location is the biggest factor. Limited seats mean they can’t have a cheapskate with a bag of £3 chips. It has to earn money to stay open - simple economics
Congratulations Gary - you and the cameraman deserve it. Well done. Look out for your RU-vid plaque delivery :-) Couldn't happen to a nicer gentleman. Well done :-)
It’s definitely a team effort Sharon, firstly my son who works so hard and I’m very proud and then to the best team ever, that’s all the people who support the channel, for that up I’m so grateful 💯👌
Gary, I have never seen so much joy, excitement and humble gratitude that you expressed on behalf of yourself and the cameraman on achieving 100K subscriptions. Your channel is a delight, and now all your hard work has been rewarded. Well done!
Well done Gary and cameraman - you thoroughly deserve it for all the hard work you put in. Here’s to the next landmark of 150,000! I know you will do it! Congratulations!🎉
Good, honest but still always polite. Obviously Gary's Mum & Dad brought him up right. Worth every one of those subscribers, keep 'em coming Gary. The people's Egon Ronay.
100k subscribers, in quite a short time, is impressive. Gary, you are on your way to a very successful RU-vid career. Well done and very well deserved.
@@GaryEats you are welcome, you really deserve the success that you have had, long may it continue. Please don't change anything about your style or presentation, it's spot on.
Congratulations on getting your subscribers to six figures Gary, there is no more deserving a channel to get to 100k in my opinion. Everyone one of your subscribers have benefited from not just the entertainment but the therapeutic good your videos have also. You are a top gent ! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Well done Gary and of course your son the cameraman. I've watched your channel with interest and what makes it different is how humble you are, very much a "man of the people" the videos are realistic and not over produced, you stay exactly as you are and I envisage further success. I know you pride yourself on spending hours and hours replying to all the comments, so feel free to give yourself a break and skip the reply to this one. Kind regards and many many thanks.
Congratulations on the 100.000+ Gary. No RU-vidr deserves it more than you ! You treat your subscribers with respect and don't take us for granted, by answering the comments as you do. Your videos are always done with such enthusiasm and are a joy to watch. I think we'd all like to have you as a friend. Well done to the camera man too...a great team !
Gary from this Northern Canadian elder. == Followed you and your son since day one.== Well deserved numbers proving we your virtual family love your honesty and food!!!
That’s so very kind to say Rosie you know me and the cameraman really appreciate the support you give the channel. Take care and have a wonderful weekend. X
If you like to travel - try Thurrock in Essex please. .... Mr Chippy in London Road, West Thurrock. ... People come from miles around to this place. ... The best fish and chips ever in my opinion, and large portions at a great price !! ... I would like to know your thoughts. ... Cash only - take away only.
Hi Gary, this is my wife and her friends favourite fish and chip chop. But the most important thing today is congratulating you and your son with reaching 100K subs. I couldn't he happier for you guys, you deserve every bit of that success and much more. Been here since 300 subs and now seeing 100K, really makes me happy. It's just proof of what a good job your doing as a team! I won't even comment on the restaurant as I can't eat fish, but the only thing I know is that the wife and her friends meet up there once a month. Have a wonderful rest of your weekend and congratulations again with 100K subs and the silver button. Email sent yesterday and speak to you soon, mate! Today is a day for celebrating you and your son's fabulous and hard work!! 😊
Frank you're a top man. Thank you for sticking with me for so long and I really hope you're still enjoying the channel as much as you did when you first started watching. I will be sure to head down to one of your recommendations soon!
Congratulations! This is a channel for which RU-vid was developed. Easy watching, enjoyable, and the effort you put into your subscribers is off the charts.
Gary, I am by no means interfering on how you conduct your channel. But what I will say is your commitment to reply to each and every one of us must be taking up so much of your time and this will only increase. And you will be playing catch up. You will be devoting an entire day or more to reply to us all A generic reply would suffice to take the pressure off giving you more time to look after your Mother and spend precious time with your Family. Am sure all your subs, those from the very beginning (like me and Tel) and others that joined at a later date would fully understand. Just a thought. Take care. S
I really appreciate you including me in your comment Sharon, very kind 😊 Yes, I also believe the day will come where it will be impossible to answer every single comment, what some may not realise, there are still 100s of comments daily on the older videos, that people are watching & commenting on for the 1st time, & Gary is also answering as many as he can of those. All the time Gary can reply I know that he will Sharon, as you know it's part of the channel & something he really enjoys doing....Although time consuming. Thanks again & have a lovely week ahead! 😊
Thank you for your lovely comment Sharon. Sometimes it is a little bit of a struggle but really appreciate everyone watching subscribing and commenting. I try my very best to reply to everyone but it is very difficult both you and Tel supported the channel for such a long time both me and my son are very grateful. One day it may become too difficult to reply to everyone, but I will do my level best I hope you have a fantastic week and hopefully see you soon
@@TelThePower You are more than welcome Tel. You truly deserved a mention. I know Gary is very very grateful to you. I recall Gary's first video,25th July 2023 - easy for me to remember, as this is my birthday - though I would rather forget now! Lol! As you say Gary loves to interact with all of us, but as you say one day it may not be possible. The way his channel is sky rocketing is amazing, but there again he is such a genuine man and humble with it, that it is no surprise he has gained so many subs within a short period of time. And this will flourish on a great scale. You have a lovely week Tel and take care. S
I just want to shout out to my fellow Gary Eats subscribers - you are all awesome. We all credit Gary for his wholesomeness, but you guys all make it worthwhile too. I think I've only read two troll comments after maybe about 35-40 videos? That is very very rare in the land of RU-vid.
What to expect with prices in Mayfair. The menu on offer was excellent. The "dry" chips have sauces to go with them. The mushy peas mashed with fresh mint, seasoned, with a splash of Sarsons should be the way. The food and service: 9.5. Business rates: forget it! I wouldn't pay that much for a meal, fantastic that it was.
Every single subscriber is so richly deserved, you’re amazing Gary and Camera Man. Wishing you all the best in the world and can’t wait to see what is to come.
Hi Gary, late to this..... and again having to disconnect the "How Much?!!" alarm due to location. The scotch egg looked OK and I'll take your word for the quality. The prawns were a good size..... but that really should have been a tempura coating them, not chippy batter. Marie Rose is easy to make (even I can do it), so it was at best OK and nice idea but maybe a waste of goof materials. The Cod looked dry..... so if not, it wasn't fresh..... fresh Dod goes milky (get up closer to Lowestoft!), The chips weren't "the greatest"...the sauces, chip-shop curry... hmm, mushy peas not good, tartare sauce can be cheaper to make than to buy-in. £23.95 for so-so fish and chips? Not for me. Still, how the other half lives, eh?
@@GaryEats embrace it bro! And yes, you’re a “bro” now for sure! You don’t come across as arrogant in the slightest, your opinions are entirely honest and based on what the rest of us think. No delusions of being better than any of us either. Just a nice guy whose come out of his shell and is very engaging with what he does!
Hi Gary, All your episodes are of the highest quality with your charming English voice and you plow through all the details that really make one hungry and interested to visit and taste for yourself, keep it up it's really honest and entertaining, keep up more restaurant visits, would like to see more typically English restaurants, skip the foreign ones, they are everywhere
How wonderful for both Dad and son! Congratulations on the fantastic milestone. it is much deserved. I know, as all of us subscribers do, that we can look forward to many more amazing reviews in the future. Cheers for Ontario Canada!
Absolute legend Gary. Followed for a while, and many more years to come. Also Mayfair, potentially the most prententious part of London when it comes to food managed to even put together a good fish and chips. I'm so glad they served you what in my opinion is a FANTASTIC portion and not the dregs that you got in Harrods (which wasn't exactly kindly priced either). Sod the price, Mayfair is 40-60 quid a head guaranteed if you go out to eat, you accept that and it's very fair when you remember how much running a restaurant in Mayfair costs. I thought what you got charged was alright. Bloody spot on, Toffs. Also I never realised that was your son behind the camera. That has increased the wholesome energy of this channel tenfold, time spent between a son and a dad is truly a beautiful thing and I'd imagine he's trying the food too. I love going to eat with my Dad.
Not only are your reviews consistently entertaining and engaging, but your support and championing of family run businesses, and what they represent, is a credit to the channel. Having just started my journey as a father, the fact you and the Cameraman are doing this as father and son makes it all the more special. Congratulations on the 100k both of you, you deserve every single one 😀
I like that you're fair and objective, and realistic about price. As you said, you're in Wayfair, so it's going to be expensive. But you're paying for the atmosphere and the area. Your humbleness, sincerity, and honesty is what makes you successful, IMHO.
I knew when I mentioned you to my husband and he said his friends at work talk about your channel that you’d go far. Congratulations on 101k subscribers. You and your cameraman deserve it.
The food looked very nice and pricey, but to be honest today is about you (and your son) You deserve all the accolades and praise you are receiving you are the most genuine, and honest chap on youtube you have no gimmicks or flash sponsors, you are just yourself doing a fantastic job,with the great help of your son, this is I believe just the start of a very long and fruit full career in reviewing, well done and congratulations, 150k here we come , cheers mate.
Ma! Here riginally 15 f n chips sgops, today none. Problem is that fish usully sogy, arreting chips. Why, I rechon do othr countries not indu;lg4 in hw dish? Rest should be internally white, no salt, ;eper or sauc on table.. Now to London may eat in resto facint ROH. Ecco have travlles half thge world eating foreiggn food. I know exactly best food, 2 hours from London. Mostly here i eat chez moi..Fish is a grave problem in my opinion. Auguri signore.
Congratulations on hitting the 100K Subscribers, you deserve it Gary....onwards and upwards!!!😃Bloody expensive but when I'm in London next I think I will definately be 'Giving It A Go', especially the King Prawn Cocktail....Fantastico!!
Some people (especially in Mayfair) have more money than they know what to do with. The cocktail sauce looks like Thousand Island. Cocktail sauce here for prawns is ketchup, horseradish and Worchester...Haddock Scotch egg - only in Mayfair? LOL, glad the chips were cooked in beef drippings (see misnomer in previous post). We prefer our chips/fries a bit on you dry side but crunchy. You are are real picky about your mushy peas (and tartar sauce is dead simple to make). Aren't there any chippies in Knightsbridge? Do you have halibut in the UK - it's our number one fish on the Pacific West Coast. And BTW - how do you not weigh 20 stone!?
Hello Gary, this is Gary here, just wanna say congrats on your success here on you tube, and all these hundred of thousand of subscribers can’t be wrong by being just like yourself by let’s give it a go on these restaurants you visit on our behalf. One question I have though is do ever ask if the seafood is farmed or wild ? Here in the pacific northwest of America most seafood is wild caught. Just thought I’d ask, and wishing you all the best for the future and more utube videos the better. Thanks 😊
Congratulations 🎉 on 100,000 subscribers. I recently subscribed so I helped with that. I am from the U.S. and I do like tarter sauce occasionally but I really like Malt Vinegar. I have never had a Scotch Egg 🥚. This video makes me Really Want One! Hahahahahahahaha 😂!!!
Yep I think 🤔…Excellent Gary! Especially for the location Gary. Very good review! Scotch egg was cracking, as the prawns 🍤 but the fish n chips were lovely 😊 sauces ok. Price was OTT. 9/10 Cheers
I’ve just come here after seeing your Rick Stein’s Fish and Chips review, which seemed like it boiled your blood a bit… and just the prawns alone (I am typing this before I see the mains arrive) it’s like night and day. They look gorgeous and make you not regret you pay the money.
I loved this review Gary. What a beautiful location. To be honest with you, given that it is in the heart of London I was expecting it to be more expensive. When I consider a recent visit to a similar Chip Shop, here in Belfast there is not a huge difference in price. And the choice is also limited compared to Mayfair. Yes, the takeaway in Mayfair is much cheaper than 'sitting in' but personally with the views I would be happy to pay that little bit extra. Especially for a treat. All three meals presented beautifully, especially the prawns! Also the majority of us would not be ordering 3 meals so this would reduce the bill somewhat. I agree with the first two markings but overall, taking everything into consideration I would give the overall marking an 8 and a half. Oh and I see since 9.32 yesterday morning you have another 1k subs!! Amazing. Take care. S
I would never spend that kind of money on one serving of food and its astronomical price especially a 'Chippy'. At these prices, i would bring my own sandwiches from home. I worked in Mayfair many times. It's a lovely area with incredibly expensive properties.
Omg congratulations Gary to you and the cameraman on reaching 100k. Wow happening so quickly just goes to show that us people really enjoy your content and your honest no bull reviews. I really am pleased for you cause you are such a nice guy and as I’ve said before so respectful. I thought those fish nd chips were a ridiculous price. If I paid that in 🇦🇺 I would want someone feeding me lol. The prawns looked amazing though have to say would be well pleased getting those. Good overall score. Thanks as always Gary. Never change. Take care. Love to you and your son
Well done Gary! Great and fair review, scotch egg and prawns amazing fish n chips average, the fish looked a little thin? If I win the lottery I’ll pop in with the wife😂 keep em coming mate!
As you said Gary. You're in Mayfair, you're going to pay Mayfair prices. Looks really nice as a one off treat. And that crispy beer batter looked tasty. Are you going to try the guinness batter in ireland ?? Enjoy. And well done with your subscribers.
I thought the prawns looked excellent, and the fish looked good. The cod seemed a very decent portion, although given the price it should be. I would go there if I were nearby and fancied fish n chips, I have certainly paid more money and got worse food. I enjoy these reviews, kind of enjoying British food by proxy.
Maybe Gary, if you'd eaten the batteted prawns 1st. They may not have become soggy ? Like if you put vinegar on your fish they also become soggy . Just a thought l. Keep up the great work squire 😊
Not going to rush down to LOndon to visit this place. As you say the business rates must be astronomical in Mayfair so no wonder the prices are very high. The prawns looked the best part of your meal by far. Interesting video, thanks Gary. Pleased you made the 100K - many more to come no doubt.
Congratulations on a well deserved subscribership number Gary. Honesty, friendliness and a wide choice of eateries make your channel what it is. I hope you get a little package from RU-vid contating a plaque commemerating your viewership ! 😁
