You have to realise, stein's fish and chips in padstow is just pretentious bollocks for london folk in their range rovers going to Padstow. We ate in and were also underwhelmed. A good indepedent chippie is ALWAYS the way to go....its just about ££££ for Stein

Rick Stein relies on tourists going to his fish and chip shop (once) just so they can tell their mates when they get home that "we went to Rick Stein's place" in other words a tourist trap and a very expensive one at that.If I were Rick Stein I would be very very embarrassed watching this, I guess the £££ rolling in matter more!!

I'm a trained chef and have worked an quite a few 5 star resorts here in the USA. May be I should not say this, but most of these celebrity chef restaurants are cook out of a bag. Meaning that things like the mix for the fish is pre made and comes out of a bag. Same with all the sauces probably the mushy peas as well. They are just made to the chef recipe. They do this for consistency. I 100% agree with you. Always go to the mom and pops restaurants. They are less likely to use out of the bag food stuff as the pre made can be quite costly. I never go to any of these types of restaurants or even chain as they cook from bags as well. I have even worked at some 5 start resorts that had classically trained chefs like myself cooking out of bags. Hell I worked at one where we used Stouffer's frozen Lasagna's for wedding buffets @ $50 usd per plate. So yeah don't fall for the big fancy names. You rarely get you moneys worth. And no I do not cook anymore the industry is a mess right now.

Around Easter 1974 I made a trip from Dover all along the English south coast with my parents. The drabness of it all still haunts me. We once made a stop at something called "Little Chef", an absolute horrific experience. What a joy it was when we finally got back on to the European continent. Seems that not an awful lot has changed after all those years, except for having to consume a Rick Stein cuisine in the vicinity of some Russian gulag building in the middle of a parking area.

Does Rick have more than one fish and chip shop?

Went to Padstein some years ago and had a look at Rick's place. The prices were astronomical. If you wanted to mug yourself even more, there was a display of purchasable souvenirs, cooking equipment and what I can only describe as bric-a-brac for equally outrageous prices. We got delicious fish and chips from a modest chip shop a stone's throw away for about a quarter of the cost. It was a shame, because I was a bit of a foodie in those days and had always liked Rick Stein's TV shows.

Me and my wife have really enjoyed this mini-series, watching each instalment. Very insightful, real-world experiences of an EV. Totally agree with your conclusions. We’ve all been taken for a ride (excuse the pun). One issue not addressed is the lack of generating capacity in the UK, which only has around 5% spare at peak times. How will we generate enough electricity to charge millions of addition cars, even if we had the infrastructure. Onwards…

Fond memories of Cornwall, greedy car parks, parking tickets outside hotel when taking luggage in. Lands end rip off and nothing much to encourage you to go again. Miserable pub landlords, resented you being there. Only good thing was the pasties. Absolutely nowhere to go without putting hand in pocket.

Live in Cornwall, got fish and chips once at Steins in Falmouth...never, ever again, it was the most over priced and fish less (all batter) meal myself and 2 friends ever had. What's more folks were queing for 45 minutes for a table. Hysterical! So back to Harbour lights or Sanders or Cousin Jack's, less cost, less grease and much nicer. Love Cornwall

£6 here in Newcastle that would cost and the amount you would get would Choke a Donkey or at least feed 2 Hungry Geordies. If there was no Stein name on the Door there would be no Queues🙈 Then again it’s our faults for falling into the Trap of Paying over the top for Celebrity Chefs Takeaway foods.

I’ve always enjoyed Steins fish and chips. But I’ll agree with your criticism. It is very expensive and the service is not exactly friendly, I’ve found. You should’ve taken a short walk into Padstow itself and eaten it by the docks. That’s what we always do after we’ve done the camel trail bike ride. I can’t believe the sachets of vinegar. That’s a deal breaker for me. It’s part of the fish and chips ritual to have salt and vinegar shaken on just before it’s wrapped up in paper. No more Steins for me if that’s what they’re now doing. Appalling. Another entertaining vlog Lee, great stuff.

What a disgusting price. For fish and chips

Just happened on this video and as my husband and I will be staying at the Land's End Hotel for a few days next month, and are very excited to do so. But not so much for the hotel, but also for the location. It's a gorgeous location but there are tons of things to do within a very close range. We'll hit the outdoor theatre to the east, small villages to the west up to St Ives. There's lots of standing stones and Penzance is not far. We'll be coming from Portsouth, where my great grandfather was born. It will be such fun! I'll let you know if we find issue within the Land's End Hotel, other than the cost. It's our 50th anniversary trip so we're splurging a bit. Haven't been to the UK in 15 years so am very happy to go back!

Think this vid confirmed 2 things.. Never go to Rick Stein's chippy and never buy EV's...

Looked at Steins a few years ago - exorbitant prices and I won’t be ripped off, so we gave it a miss. Glad we did because we got some great fish and chips a lot cheaper elsewhere. Guess the weed was parsley, but it cudda been a stinging nettle lol. F & C musta been crap if you’re complaining of “greasy” that soon. You don’t usually feel like it’s greasy until you have finished and feel you don’t want fish and chips for a week or two.

There's a chippy just around the corner from there half the price 10x better

We holiday in Cornwall most years and I really noticed this year…August 2022…that they really know how to charge people. Car parking especially is a total rip off. I’ve had a quick look at going abroad next year and it’s not that much more expensive for 2 weeks all inclusive in a a nice hotel. The Cornwall holiday industry really need to make sure they are not driving people away.

Would never wast my money on these so called celebrities food outlets. Wiil always try to use local every time

Max profit for minimal outlay is how Ricky has such a healthy bank balance, we have a Harry Ramsdens in Great Yarmouth , always busy , now to be honest i have never tried them so can't really comment but have seen others eating them and see a lot of left overs where people have just left them to the seagulls, much rather use a good local business down a back street .

Cornwall probably the most expensive holiday destination in the world.

I am afraid I have to agree with you. Rick Stein should be ashamed - people will only be ripped off once like this. You were generous with a score of 2/10 I would have been more honest and given him zero. He deserves to go bust in my opinion no matter how good his TV shows are

£18 40 what a rip off !! I thought the fish shop on st Mary's on the Isle of Sicily was dear at £9.95 But it seems as though I got a bargain ?

Never seen 1 good review of this place! We took one look at the prices and went round the corner to a lovely pub called the Golden Lion…seems like it was a great decision

Hydrogen is the way to go when they wake up.

It is pretty bad when a famous celebrity chef puts out such bad quality food so over priced it's insulting to customers. If you're a celebrity chef charging a premium price for a common dish in England then it should be amazingly good. Chris must not care about his customers or reputation. As a businessman of 30 years plus, I'd never sell a shoddy product or provide a shoddy service to my customers that I value. You do your very best to meet and exceed customers expectations. No wonder his price is so high. Customers won't come back and he's relying on his name brand and tourist trade which is shameful really especially for a professional chef.

What a shame. The cod looked a little over cooked to me, I might be wrong but it looked on the side of stringy rather than flaky. The less said about the dribble of curry sauce the better, for a thimble I don’t think it’s unreasonable for you to expect a full pot. Chips cooked in beef dripping should be delicious so to see you not even find them good is pretty shocking. Thanks for taking one for the team, shame you had to though pal. Great channel, been watching for ages, only just realised I’d not subscribed though - that has been rectified! Cheers Al

We were at Padstow a few years back..went to fish shop in the centre of Padstow the fish was good but the chips were frozen chips.. go to any seaside resort in the north you'll never see frozen chips ..

I started following you for your Tenerife vlogs and then us vlogs I dip in and out of your other videos but generally I am interested the majority of your content, I was really keen on your electric car videos, because I’ve been thinking about going electric but so many red flags over infrastructure, I live on a residential street and sometimes I am not guaranteed to be able to park outside my house, so how am I going to charge my car so that I can get to work, I already get up at 7 to start work, am I going to have to get up at 5 or after a 12 hour shift sit around waiting to charge my car and what if they aren’t working like you have proven many times, I think you have done an excellent job of showing us that at the moment electric cars don’t work , I really want to buy in to electric cars but unfortunately they don’t suit our busy lives at the moment thanks macmaster👍🏻

Really enjoyed sharing the trip with you , although all that charging palaver would stress me out no end . Anyway , I’ll tell you what , when you come to Sydney , I can guarantee a cheaper feed of fish and chips , better quality and with a much better view at Doyle’s in Watson Bay . Happy travels 👍

Wouldn't feed that crap to the cat ... Disgusting

Hi macmaster. I'm from Mansfield and always leave the M1 at jnc27 I don't know why anyone would continue past. Also instead of keep talking about the poor ev infrastructure why not mention all the other things like. Lithium mines increase weight for vans. Depletion of council funds having to replace good vehicles with electric. Chinese power stations producing battery's. Chinese leaving thousands of new EVs outside on acres of land to rot. The list goes on and on. Every part of EV production is a scam that's doing more damage than any combustion engine.

With current range and charging times, electric vehicles are a joke for anything but medium length journeys. Utter waste of money for what is at the moment an environmental hoax.

Another great Vlog Lee. £15 to have your photo taken next to a sign p@@@ o@@ lands end tourist trap. finally you agree Hybrids are the future, I drove round Normandy France in my Hybrid last month & it cost me £52 & I didn't have to stop & mess about waiting to charge, saw a lot of EV charging points though.And driving round those narrow streets in Padstow scary stuff. Got to say those Fish & chips looked good but I wasn't eating them. Onwards

£2 for a can of diet coke is simply shameful. At today's prices 24 cans in Tesco is £9. £0.375 per can. He'll be paying closer to £0.30. A six fold mark up is disgusting. I thought the fish was reasonably priced to be fair, but that curry sauce is a joke - I'd insist they filled it up properly before paying.

Having lived in Cornwall for 6 years I would agree with your comments on the fish and chips in “Padstein” Next time you are in Cornwall in the Newquay/ Padstow area, I would recommend the Port and Starboard chippy in Indian Queens. It’s just off the A30. Much much better value

McDonald's ice cream & shake machines are generally "out of order" because they take time to clean & the staff can't be bothered to do it. It was a former employee who let the cat out of the bag.

Back in the days before health and safety became azi bullies, fish and chips came in newspaper. What struck me as I watched you unpack your F&C, was the amount of packaging.All of that cardboard waste will end up in landfill. Going back to my first comment, fish and chips were a recycling product using yesterdays newspapers and a small piece of greasproof paper. Rick Stein in trying to be posh and putting sauces in tiny pots, is also trying to hide the miniscule amount of sauce you get and pay handsomely for.. Another reviewer rated Rick Stein fish and chips as very poor value for money. He complained the fush portion was tiny. More fish in a solitary fish fish finger ( my words, but you get the drift ). You have to remember that you are paying for that fancy packaging. On Oldham market you can get fish and chips for #4.95, cooked fresh in front of you without silly bits of parsley and a curry sauce to rip your tits off!!

£ 18.40 for a small take away fish and chips! Sounds like piracy.

The best fish & chip in England is the little shop over the swing bridge on the left hand side around the bend in Whitby North Yorkshire, they are absolutely delicious. It has won many awards for its food and is recommended by Jeremy Clarkson and James May, when they filmed an episode of Top Gear. Been to Whitby many times and always buy my food from there, I can recommend the fish cakes and the Scampi also. Wish I could remember the name of the shop, it's NOT the large chip shop in the centre of Whitby were the chef's wear the tall white hats. 👍🙂👍

I spend a lot of time in Cornwall and Padstow. I don't half laugh when I see the queues of muppets waiting to be shafted at his establishments.Two friends of mine got rinsed for £140 in his main seafood restaurant (just along from the toilets....) and ended up having a pasty to fill themselves up afterwards. Chips Ahoy for fish and chips, any of the three pasty shops opposite the Ship for oggies, the Shipwrights for Proper Job and the seafood stall outside the pub for crab sandwiches. Job done.

Lived in Cornwall for 26 years... RS fish and chips are over-priced rubbish to be fair.

Hi Mate, That's frightening cost for a couple of chipped up potatoes and a very small fish. In reality that's all it is. I'm stuck for words really. Chips are just that! cut up potatoes that cost very little to buy. I am friends with an ex Chip Shop owner in Fife and he got out of it. He says the days of fish and chip shops are numbered. Apparently it's the cost of the fish to them that's killing it and that's why there's less chips and smaller fish at inflated prices. He wasn't making any real profit with the cost of heating the expensive oil in the fryer. I don't think it's the chippies fault all the time. Were losing our traditions very fast here in UK. It's all cheap crap processed Kebabs and McDonalds etc now. Really sad. Steve in Fife.

I have learnt 2 valuable lessons from this video...1 ..never make the foolish mistake of buying an electric car !...2..never buy fish n chips from a rick stein franchise !

Rick Stein's Fish & Chips are very much like Padstow......A lot of Bullsh.t!

Was at Padstow a couple of weeks ago. It was crowded as anything, and not at all pleasant. Did not partake in the RS fish and chips though. We were staying at the Retallack resort just a couple of miles away.

What's wrong with getting a road-sweeper in to clear it up and take it away in 5 minutes?

Great series Lee, and I completely agree with the rip-off fish and chips. And having to pay to stand near a signpost and take your own photo?! As if visitors buying souvenirs isn’t enough for them. The greed of these places puts you off.

The bonus clip at the end when you near had a heart attack at the sat nav,I'm in tears😂😂great video though,I would say the only thing with cars with big batteries, they take longer to charge obviously, I have a small battery so less waiting,but agree they are not suited for long journeys, unless you get a tesla with their charging infrastructure.

Curious if you will tell us the grand total cost for charging for the whole journey and the actual cost per mile. Are the costs the same for Gridserve vs. Ionity vs. the Porsche dealer? When you went to the Porsche dealer, was there any lines to use their chargers? Aren't there enough Porsche dealers throughout the country to just charge there, especially if they charge faster than any other charger? Once again, wonderful job!

Lee, Regarding Rick stein! I bought fish and chips from him over 10yrs ago. My experience was the very same as yours. Over priced fish and chips, fish was saw dry. I still remember that experience to this day. Please anyone watching and reading these comments, stay away from Rick steins fish and chips. Over priced robbery and crap food. As Lee mentioned save your hard earned money, and buy from a family run chipy.

Rick stein owns Padstow... literally.... and local businessman don't like him

The commercial side of Lands End is shocking, not a chance in hell Id pay for having my photo at that sign, that charge is shameful and just disgusting. Was really good hearing you say about how friendly us Scottish were when you were up this end, we are a friendly tribe. I was down at Ascot races back in 2019 for my 50th and most of the cab drivers were grumpy B's When me and my daughter were getting off the plane at Heathrow we were saying thanks to all the cabin crew which is just natural to some of us, you could see how surprised they were at hearing two people say Thankyou as we left the plane, as all the others said nothing. All the Uber drivers we had were all really friendly, one was from Somalia and when he heard we were from Scotland he wanted to shake our hands when we were back at Heathrow to return back to Glasgow, he said every Scottish person that's been in his car have all been so friendly and chatty and always shake his hand, he said he was learning from them so that's why he wanted to shake our hands like he had learned some new custom. Thankyou for sharing your journey with us all Lee, all the time effort and dedication you put in really is very commendable, full credit to you as I for one know just how time consuming the process can take. Cheers Lee!

Looking at what you got on the day, too much batter and not enough fish. The best battered fish I've had was in a fish & chip cafe at Brighton Marina. Lovely thin and crunchy batter and the freshest fish you've ever taste. Glad we gave Steins a miss during our holiday in Cornwall this year.

So glad you have exposed Stein for the mean man that he is.

There should be twice the number of chips, the fish should not be greasy, the batter should be crisp and light. The fish does look flaky. Totally agree on the sauce and peas. The fish and chips should come served in paper, not boxes. 2/10 for quality, 0/10 for value

We gave up at Steins for the reasons you mentioned. Nowhere to eat them, all the areas were full. Funnily enough, I didn’t fancy walking around eating an £18 dinner (madness given that you’d pay less than that for fish/chips in a good gastropub).

Enjoyed seeing your journey. I started watching your channel for the reviews you give on living with an electric car. Earlier this year I gave serious consideration to going electric. But after seeing some of your past reviews I brought a hybrid. My wife is is on her 4th hybrid car. She has given serious consideration to going electric. But after seeing your reviews has ordered another hybrid. For your journey from the top of Scotland to the bottom of England would have required us to stop just once to refuel in either of our hybrid cars. Keep up the good work and great reviews.

Welcome to Rip Off UK.

Love your editing , you keep doing it mate. far better and honest too.

I've just purchased a brand new Toyota Camry Ascent. I live in Australia now and I made damn sure I got a petrol one! Coincidently I lived not far from Padstow (RAF St. Eval) for nearly eight years in the late fifties and sixties. I use to ride there on my bike just to smell the beautiful aroma from a cake shop there. I saw 'Singing in the Rain" when it first came out there. Re-visited Padstow a few years ago and persuaded my sister's old boyfriend to take me for a flight in his plane over Port Isaac (Doc Martin fame). Had a Cornish pastie there, but wasn't impressed with it.

Amazed the seagulls didn't have your meal out there in the open with the fish perched on the box lid. Who buys from a 'named' outlet, can't believe the queue, you've just proven the folly of the sheep that are drawn in by the personality name and marketing.BTW I'm from Blackpool and am well versed in avoiding the hype of the seaside food chains as they never live up to expectations of price and quality. You are on point telling folk to support a local business, go where the locals go at home and abroad is always good advice.

husband and I went for a " treat" ..was terrible and to be honest we both had the greasy burps for the rest of the day. what a shame but then Padstein is such a disappointment now he's taken over most of it
