Worst fish and chips in Blackpool review. We went undercover to test the chippy covered by Danny Vs Food, ordering fish and chips, scallops, curry gravy, mushy peas and meat and potato pie to see if he got the real experience.
Danny Malin rated this place, but did they serve him better food because they knew who he was? We went in like normal customers and ordered the exact same items to find out. From the fish and chips to the potato scallops, curry sauce, peas and pie, this is a full honest taste test with real reactions, real portions and no holding back.
Full honest taste test, real prices and a clear verdict from The Gourmet Lads. Is this genuinely the worst chippy in Blackpool or has this place been unfairly judged?

Good job he’s got a microwave!!! It’s a big NO!!! Old oil,sausage warmed up in microwave,pie warmed in microwave,peas,curry and gravy yuk and chips OMG. Total waste of money-risking your health!!!!! Brave lads 👏 Patt has joined the messy top club with Martin 😂.
You call this a food review, its obviously a launderette 🤷
Maybe he puts new oil in either old oil 😂. It’s all about the pre and temperature- and no microwave 0/10
Chef mike is the only chef in that chippy
Martin and pat,NO NO NO,shocking lol,must be up there as the worst one,people AVOID
Buy cheap buy twice😂😂😂😂 give it gulls
Feel abit sad watching this fellas. You were very fair and honest.
A struggling business amongst a lot of competition in that area. Owner cutting costs (no bain Marie on / old oil and oil kept cold because no trade) If the quality isn’t good, people will go elsewhere. Ever decreasing circle. 😢Shame but that’s business.
I'm really glad ye reviewed that place. I watched Danny's review and he gave the owner some really constructive feedback in a respectful way. But clearly the owner didn't listen. I get that he's doing it all by himself and his prices are low. But low prices don't matter if you can't eat the food. Now I know that oil is expensive and changing it every couple of days will cost a lot, but if he doesn't do it then his business will suffer. He'll eventually close as word will spread and no one will go there, not even if they're drunk!
The peas/sauces having to be nuked as he wants to save some money by not having the bain-marie keep them warm is just nuts. The mad thing is if he just changed the oil, kept the sauces warm and was consistent with the food that he could charge twice the price and get it. Cutting corners like that will be his downfall. I bet he won't listen to your feedback either which is a shame. Thanks for another honest review lads as always.
the oils not hot enough, thats why its dripping in oil
Trading standards visit??
all looks YUCK🤢🤮🤢🤮
Good video guys, what was the street called, so that I can avoid it when I go there for me holiday this year
I would never expect it to be good or buy fish and chips from an Asian in the same way I wouldn't by a Chinese from an Englishman
Hate to say it, but fisher's plaice in layton is shocking. They use some weird eco oil, and it makes everything taste weird. Had it twice and both times its made me feel awful aswell… about a yera inbetween visits aswell… shame becayse the people seem nice and they offer an extensive menu!
so undercover are you superman just glasses means no one knows who you are.
the fish looks so greasy it has not been stood for any time to drain off.
why would you need to MW the sauces are the pot there kept in not meant to keep it warm.
do you want to see if the seagulls want to eat it. and if there still alive in the morning heheheh
there was really nothing to give more than a zero.
he has loads of excusses
even the seagulls said no your all right thanks and just leave the dropped leftovers
No good changing the oil if you havent cleaned owt.
Worst experience you've had in a chippy? Bloody hell! Should try York on a weekend. Not because the foods bad – just it makes Blackpool look like the Ritz due to the people! XD
Gross
I bet this guy's using Steak on a Planes old oil he nicked out of those pop bottles you found 🤮
Both are prime candidates for Delhi belly.
Those aren't seagulls circling but vultures waiting for you to finish eating then they can have a cadaver supper 🤣
He didn't look happy but he definitely needed to be told.
I watched Danny's vid so it's good to see a follow up. He clearly didn't listen to his advice!
Another cracking review guys 😀
thanks for another great video
What is the name of this restaurant? I am so glad you guys made mention to him.
HOW?! 😂 HOW did you actually manage to eat that absolute crime against food?! You two had me absolutely gone, I was crying laughing from start to finish, proper UGLY face while I was crying! 🤣.Honestly, watching you suffer through that has cured any curiosity I ever had… consider me permanently put off for life 💀That review was pure chaos in the best way! comedy gold lads!
MORE OF THIS MADNESS PLEASE 🙌
Come to st helens mate. Town is a sh1t hole. I should know its my hometown but we have so many good gems one of them Is chipshop called chipmunk there's a few and they are amazing but you have to figure out which branch is the best. Luckily the best is only a 5 minute walk from where I live
Another Great Episode .. Simpley the Truth
Its not OIL its his ball sweat… welcome to Blackpool !!!
Grease is the biggest bug bare, the feeling of sickness is never good.
0 maybe 10 points too high and yes telling him about your experience was a good call, sadly i think your comments to him fell on deaf ears, i would wonder who actually owns the place and is that guy under orders
from another, its possible corners are being cut to make as much money as possible, leaving a bad taste in everyone's mouth.
Yet another cracking video guys, thanks for making me laugh, oh and just for my piece of mind have you been checked by the doctor? 🤣🤣
Hey Handsome Pat and the Beautiful Marigold aka Martin 🤣🤣🤣🤣 thanks for another Amazeballs video you Guy’s are awesome, especially for going to this chippy there was so much grease in all the food you could have bottled it and sold it as the latest hair product 🫢🫢😆😆. I hope you both have as Handsome rest of the week as you both are, take care much love to you both xx
Patt needed a bib this time 😆
The food wasn't even worth dropping down your clothes lol.
Its just a hollands pie thats been microwaved
👍👍👍
Looks heart–attack food!
More oil on that fish than oil in Iran 😀
Fair play lads! No one wants to hammer a business but when they treat the customers with contempt (throw in the mushy peas you promised on the front window, maybe?) and the food is barely edible then they can…you know! Always funny and fun. Keep doing it chaps! Best Regards, Robbie from Dublin
I agree its absolutely terrible in there but to go online just to embarrass him isn't cool, yeah his foods sub standard but making a video just to rubbish him….a bit unfair lads
Food reviewing should just be about highlighting good places. The guy obviously doesn’t care about the product but it seems like bullying for reviewers to deliberately go to shit places and start a pile on.
The price of Oil has increased lol, N for that reason P GG Ethnicity’s want to save more money by not changing cooking oil, Its about less spending and more profit for those P Take away owners Greedy BSd, the lot of them have the same intension, Not Quality or quantiy, Just Profits they think of
Good video lads. Hopefully the owner will take on board your advice, but I’m not so sure.
That oil can fill a swimming pool
I don’t ever have to worry about takeaway muck, I make all my food at home from scratch with healthy ingredients 😂🙋🏻♀️🇬🇧
You no why that is about the food is boss don’t spend any money on the shop or nothing don’t blame the young lad why don’t you go and try frankly on Lytham rd
Their idea of changing the oil is just to filter out all the bits
To all chippies. Stop using oil and start using Beef Dripping. Stop using pre-battered frozen fish. Stop selling Kebabs, Pizzas, Fried Chicken etc. Keep your menu based on fish. Go old school.
I was brought up in my dad's chippy through the 60's and 70's. I started off as a Saturday Boy peeling and chipping spuds when I was about 10 years old and worked my way up to frying by the time I was 14. But not as a fryer of the fish. Back then a fish fryer was a craftsman in his own right, with years of experience.
Shits on the way
Hi lads that looked rank so greasy too 🤢
At the risk of sounding parochial, I want my curries prepared by Indians, because that's what they know (if they're chefs). Similarly, I want my fish and chips prepared by British people, who know that stuff. These asians are producing only crude imitations of the real thing, with mass-produced microwaved pies, for example, where the look is there but not the understanding. They're glorified reheaters, not cooks or chefs, and it's ruining our own food culture.
I don't even think the seagulls would eat that
Shut that scumbag down
Its so important everyone that we have such Great Food Reviewers come to these places to give us a true reflection of these bad places.I know they sometimes feel sick afterwards but good thing is at least we don't have to😂😂. Cheers guys you are doing a great job showing these food establishments for what they are… Utterly disgusting x
The bloke doesn't want to know. His Business is untenable.
