Theres a chippy in Newcastle Under Lyme called Shaws that sell fish and chips fried in Beef Dripping they are fantastic

Great video Lee. This is how all fish and chips were cooked when I was a kid in the 1960's and 70's. Sad to think that this is the only shop in the UK that is still carrying on with this tradition. Beef dripping makes all the difference.

Coal won't change the taste at all!! They are cooked in dripping like many places. Looks nice but I can get the same local.

There's something so special about childhoods that as adults we keep trying to replicate it whether its food, sweets, games, music, films or whatever.....anything that takes us back to better times!!

It’s not the only coal fired one in the world. Beamish museum cook their fish and chips on coal fired fryers in beef dipping and they are delicious.

Correct. They came to Upton to learn how to fry on a coal range when they decided to install one a couple of years ago.

That looked absolutely stunning. It's always good to see a queue forming before a place opens and combine that with proper Beef Dripping AND cooking over Coal as a heat source and you just know that you can't go wrong.

Appreciate all the content mate, especially all the traveling about on top of it all, must cost you a absolute fortune, good to see someone that cares about your audience, channels like this should have more subs and deserve to be making plenty revenue from it

Brilliant :-) it was me that told you about it & sent you a link. I actually discovered this place by complete accident. About 9 years ago we moved to a village near Wakefield called Upton & when we 1st moved here we googled fish & chip shops in Upton and this place popped up. Couldn't believe it when we looked at the website as it's so unique in this day and age a real treasure.

Thanks Steve. Amazing place.

Places like this sitting in the shadows, whilst places like Binley mega chippy in the limelight .. doesn’t make sense to me, this is true British Heritage

Gutted, five mile up the road. If I'd known I would have come and said hello Lee.

Not sure whether it's coal fired but that reminds me of the chippy at the Black Country Museum, which does fish & chips in beef dripping, and are well worth a sample if you're ever down Dudley way!

Nice to still see people in the sticks still honoring 2m distancing, that place reminds me of a chippy from my childhood. It was in a tiny village outside of Sheffield called Marsh Lane by Ecclesfield. Oh for the good old days when a fish & chip lot used to cost about 45 - 50p. M

The chippy I used to go to as a kid, had exactly the same type of stove as that, the colours the mirror, the lights, brings back memories of queuing on a Friday tea time, the fish and chips looks amazing as well !!

Skin on is an issue that people in England south of Yorkshire seem to accept, bizarre, looked exactly like the chippy we went to as kids, long since demolished, amazing.

And may it be there in another 75 years! What a gem, it really is.. the frier's a work of art in its self😉. Nice one Lee😃

Can't give this any less than a solid 10/10. My only gripe is the curry sauce. It doesn't belong in a traditional chippy. It'd be like going to Naples for a traditional pizza, and asking whether they do Hawaiian pizzas. They'd chase you out with their rolling pins! Haha. The crowd doesn't lie. I'd go to the ends of the Earth to get to that shop. Great review. More of these traditional and nostalgic places please, Lee. Another brilliant upload. Great work.

it's like the way you like your eggs fried the way you want and skin on your fish,easy tell them how you want your eggs cooked and to take the skin taken off the fish that ,that will stop you moaning 😅according to your mate JR on one of his vlogs the skin contains the omega 3 and keeps the fish moist when cooking 👍

Always 10/10 👌 I commented on one of your previous videos about this place, been going since I was a kid with my parents! Well worth the wait 👍🏻

Beef dripping!! Mmmmmm. Back in the day when a family fish and chips supper didn't break the bank!! Great video mate. Onwards and upwards x

It’s 29c here in Wales. I was thinking of a salad today but now I’m off to the chippy. So thanks a lot. Looks great!

I mentioned this little gem awhile ago glad you tried and enjoyed it 👍

I'm glad you pointed me in the direction of this video Lee aka the macmaster after I missed it when you released it I'd give it a 10 as I'm not as fussy with the skin, I look forward to visiting it sometime soon

I was born in a fish and chip shop in the 1930s, run by my mother and father, we had a coal fired range fried in beef dripping, I have eaten fish and chips all around the world, even Whitby, but never had better. HAPPY DAYS

Been a few times ,they are lovely you are right about the batter , I love their scraps ,all the hurray henries on Saturday turn up ,it’s like a Range Rover car park ,60 mile drive or 120 return but worth every penny ,who remembers taking your newspapers to the chippy and when I was young my local chip shop in Sunderland actually had a block of rock salt ,plus there it’s fun when put the coal in ,evocative beautiful smell we used to have a coal fired range 3ovens ,a kettle plate that went over the fire and a back boiler hundred weight of coal for 5inches of bath water with the old cold tar soap happy days getting dried in front of the fire.

I do believe Beamish in the North east as a fully working coal fire chip shop.

It does. They came to this shop in Upton to train on how to cook on a coal fired range.

Crikey looked the business Lee what A great find that's what you call fish and chips a 10 from me! We went to the SHED at Pembrokeshire to far for you to go but absolutely delicious like no other fish we had ever tasted 😋 there was no skin on it either although I quite like the skin

Love this place! We went a few years ago pre-Covid. Took two trains and a bus just to get there. Crazy I know but worth it! Village reminds me of mid summer murders though. Nice looking place though. Did you know they even cut there own chips using an old fashioned chip cutter. Can’t wait to go back again. Best place ever! ❤️

Oh man! Lee you are tormenting me! We had a village chipper like that in the 70s! Range was coal fired & everything was cooked in dripping too! My dad used to help the man unload the big blocks of dripping off his van & got a bag of chips and a lift home in return! Oh and I remember the old guy always smoked his pipe while he cooked the fish and chips! A real trip back in time there Lee, thank you!👍👏👏👏😊

Solid 10 from me. A traditional chippy sticking to tradition and not bowing to public pressure and using alternatives to beef dripping simply because a few ethnic minorities and vegans are offended will always get my vote. What a difference from your previous award winning chippy......told you cod is best 😂 Their mushy peas actually looked like peas not paste and the mysterious green in your curry sauce.....peppers or chili possibly ? I think you've inspired me with this one to actually go check it out , cheers fella 👍

There’s no comparison to that wafer thin fish that you were served in Blackpool !! Upton fish & chips only need to open two days a week says it all proper Chippy 📦✅😋

Another great video Lee. What a beautiful place too. Many thanks

Looking forward to watching this one. Really pleased you went here because me & the missus have being wanting to go here for ages.

Supplied by my hometown of Great Grimsby you say? Proud moment being from a family of Dock workers. Can easily see why this quiet town brings such queues, The finest catches England has to offer cooked in the ways that made the dish popular to begin with. 11/10.

What a truly authentic little gem, and so represtative of a time gone by that it should get some prestigious heritage status, it's practically a museum. Now then lee, I'm sure like thousands of others I was shouting "Why didn't you ask if its skin on when you ordered instead of complaining after when your eating it!, like you do all the time!!", you did address this later in the vlog though. Great Vlog Lee, one of your best. It made me feel all nostalgic and proud of our county.

When I was a kid, I'm 54 now, my aunty, nan, and other nan, all had coal fires!!! The smell of the burning coal, especially in autumn/early winter was beautiful!! I know all that smoke is bad, but whenever I get a whiff of coal burning, it takes me back, brings a tear to the eye!!!!. Also,.making toast on an open fire, amazing!!!!!

looks like old school chippy when i was a kid in the early 80's. fish always had the skin on. looks like a winner. only thing its missing is the newspaper.

The video just before this was Papa's Blackpool and the difference is CHALK AND CHEESE. Papa's fish was wafer thin - "Upton's" was thick and flakey. Papa's was very expensive - "Upton's" was really good value. Papa's was cooked in oil -"Upton's" was done in beef dripping. How did Papa's get Best Fish & Chips in Britain [methinks brown envelopes stuffed with cash changed hands]

Looks alone best yet, as for the village it looks like the sort of place where you wouldn't be surprised if Miss Marple or Father Brown cycled passed, you would just wave and say 'good afternoon'.👍👍😀😀

That looks absolutely amazing Lee. I need to visit this place. Probably the best fish and chips I’ve seen you eat so far. Just how it should be. Staff seemed friendly as well. It says a lot when people from all around the country and even abroad visit this place. 10/10 for me. Thanks for the great review mate👍

Looked good. I love nostalgic stuff like that.

Hey Lee. Looks a pretty good place, no wonder you might need camping chairs to queue up there. I agree with the others on here. Take a set of cutlery with you just in case you struggle with the flimsy forks they give you in chippys. Can’t beat a bitter shandy after a Chippy tea. So refreshing take care Lee 😘👍🏻

Another coal-fired one is Davy's Fish & Chips in the beamish museum, the range is very similar to the one in the chippy you visited. It's worth visiting if you find yourself in the Co Durham area, again cooked in beef dripping.

That is the best socially distanced queue I have ever seen.

Quality over profit that is. Looked amazing.

Love your videos, great content and keep up the good work bro 🤜

Looked bloomin amazing!! I might have to pay it a visit.

Great review Lee and lovely music score and b-roll "cheers 4 sharing

Also I think the main reason places don’t cook in beef dripping is because it’s much more expensive, but it makes far better chips

Looks so good, chips cooked in beef dripping are unbeatable.

fantastic vlog lee really enjoyed this drifting off while wat watching the waves crashing glad your feeling better cheers mate russ 🇨🇦👍

im a GRIMSBY fishermans daughter and the skin on fish is a must have, dont ever ask for skin to be taken off in Grimsby you would be lynched, great vlog cheers

Fish and chip shops should take note of this video and go back to cooking in beef dripping. In my experience fish and chips cooked in oil has no taste. This video reminds me of my childhood about 60 years ago before it was all destroyed. It actually brought tears to my eyes. If anyone knows of fish shops anywhere in Britain, north or south that still use beef dripping, post it on here or better still Macmaster could make videos of them. I don’t mind the skin so 10/10 from me.

hi mac that looks like the best fish and chips in THE WORLD just how i love it is the fish cooked in dripping too ? or juts the chips for me 10 / 10 thank you i will make a point of getting there👍

Where I come from haddock *always* has skin on. I’ve never ever had one that doesn’t have the skin, and because I’m used to it I think I’d be pretty disappointed if I got one without it. It doesn’t exactly change the taste and I’ve always thought it must have some nutrients in it. On the other hand cod here never has the skin on.

I was born in Nottingham.......every time I have visited just want mushy peas salt and vinegar. From Australia

Those fish and chips look so beautiful and along with that landscape out there just incredible bro keep up the awesome work Lee 🙂

Hi Lee, it was me who recommended Upton Fish and Chip shop to you a few months ago. It is such a pleasure to visit and enjoy their outstanding fish and chips. I always take my own fork and spoon because I refuse to waste one morsel it is so 0good

Interesting and very different. Thanks Mac love your vlogs keep them coming. Your on our TV everyday xxx

Looks a class. Reminds me of a old fish and chip shop in the 90s in a village near Colchester run by this old guy. My dad use to take me regularly, it had all the beef dripping on the chips, was so nice.

Beef dripping is the only way for a fish supper, vegetable oil is just nowhere near the same.

Ohhh my, those chips looked amazing the fish looked even more amazing , my grandmother used to run a chippy years ago her chips were simply the best , nothing like fish & chips cooked the traditional way 😁😁

Certain parts of country leave skin on. It's personal preference but don't think you should have marked it down

Now that did look a very impressive fish and chips 😋

Hobsons Chippie at the Black Country Museum in Dudley fries in beef dripping too . Had a great feed there on one of my visits back to England from here in Sydney . You are right Lee, the English countryside in Sumner can’t be bettered , wish I was there now . I ‘m not a fan of fish skin , so it would be a 9.9 from me too . Cheers from a damp and cool Sydney .

Lee, that was a great vid. Brought a smile to my face, makes me happy - your love for a good fish and chip is infectious!! Its Fryday and I'm going for some in a couple of hours, can't wait now after watching that. 10/10 for me; I love skin on fried fish cos it makes it real 'fishy'. Keep at it my friend.👏

There's a working one near me at Beamish museum, they even serve them up in a newspaper cone.

That's the best fish n chips on this channel so far, skin or no skin😁

I don't eat fish and chips but I would try these based on your excitement. Your exuberance for the place was great to see!

The Black Country Museum in Dudley has an old chip shop that cooks the same way. Not sure if it's coal fired but by eck it's delicious. The queue's are equally long but worth it.

Coal fired fish and chips cooked in beef dripping looks so nice tasty curry sauce looks tasty well worth trip

That's gotta be a 100/10 by looks alone and great video

When you started the meal it was a no-brainer TO LIKE THE VIDEO 💫👏🏽

What a lovely place😍 that fish and chips shop and the village is beautiful, nice to see this old fish And chips shop like this👍 like going back in time 🕰 love the chip fryer ❤ the fish looks a good bit of fish not thin like some you had Lee, and the way they cook it is brilliant, But for me it's 'skingate' again 🐟🤣 But you said you can ask for it to be removed so that's Good 9/10 👍 and isn't it nice that people are waiting happily for good old fashion fish and chips cook the old way can't beat it 👌 I must visit here it so lovely that village, my dad would love it here specially the pub 🍺the perfect summer evening👌first fish and chips and then the village pub 🇬🇧😊👍👍😘

Brilliant,Pearls in East Acton was coal fired sadly stopped trading in the late 80s ,but the same set up with the chip shutters on the back wall like that but older and just steel with brass knobs ,it used to be a wet fish shop aswell years before ,nice one looks like one to visit 🍀🇬🇧👍

That’s the nicest looking fish and chips I’ve ever seen! 😍

I'm going to be honest here Lee but I like the skin on fish and I'm a yorkshire man. Any fish and chip shop still cooking with beef dripping is always worth a visit, as we are finding out there becoming extinct sadly. Doesn't taste the same with veggie oil. They looked amazing . As for the green bits in the curry sauce some contain apple or soya?. Great video mate. 👍

As soon as I saw the fish and chips they were turning out in your B roll, I thought ‘that reminds me of the fish and chips we used to get at the local chippy in Longbridge in Birmingham where I grew up’. I like skin on fish but when it’s grilled to a crisp and not battered. I wondered if the green stuff in the curry sauce might be methi/fenugreek leaves. They transform any curry! Top place and I loved the fryer set up. Must go before they can’t get coal any longer.

10/10 wow love the look of everything properly cooked brown chips, which is a bonus, chunks of cod and love Ben Shaws Shandy haven't had that for a while. Don't mind the skin on, it holds the fish together while it's cooking. Enjoyed the vlog as always. Stay safe!!

Now that's what I call a proper fish and chips top marks from me 10/10 thanks for sharing lee 😁❤

Brilliant , we had a number back in the 60s in Stoke on trent with beef dripping

A proper chippy, I can see why folk would be willing to queue, everything looked really nice. On another note Lee, if you ever find yourself in Nottingham city centre check out 'Wing Spot' It's in Trinty Square and occupies an old Pizza Hut property. As the name suggests, it does chicken wings, boneless and on the bone and has a great selection of sauces, and the best fries I have had in a longtime. My better half and I found it yesterday after leaving the cinema and went in to eat (you can takeway as well) I had 10 wings (5 with Atomic sauce (Hot!!) and 5 with Korean sauce) and Michelle had 10 boneless pieces with hickory sauce, we shared a large fries and both had an unlimited soft drink and the whole lot came to £27.00, staff were great and place was nice and clean......I realise this sounds like an ad for the place, but I assure you I am not connected to it in any way shape or form, just assumed you are always on the look out for places to visit and review so thought I'd mention it...Cheers.

Great work Lee again that looked awesome £12 all in big fish great place that's on my list 4 September thanks

What a lovely place to live the chippy proper job fish and chips look superb definite 10

This is a great video. Awesome fish and chips and being able to sit outside in the sun in small town UK -- can't beat it! Isn't that the Cotswold Explorer sitting on the park bench (great KZread channel if you haven't seen it!)? Sure looks like him.

There was one in my village with the exact same stove. It was taken out and went to a museum somewhere not sure where? But now the little house is a Chinese.

It's not the only chippy that cooks on coal beamish museum have one and the fish and chips are awesome

Excellent

Yess, that's my local, awesome food, I have commented previously on your channel to try this place

Fields fish and chip shop in esh winning Co Durham has been using coal fired fryers with beef dripping for as long as I can remember , also beamish open air museum has coal fired fryers aswell , both are georgous 👍

nothing says better on a trip to High Street more than a splendid meal of Coal Fired & Beef Drip-fried Fish and Chips with a nice cold pint, now that's what i call a real slice of "Fried gold" my good man!

looks lovely.There is another coal Fired fish and chip shop in Beamish Museum County Durham area

First comment. Enjoyed this vlog. Did you know that the Beamish Museum. Also has a coal fired fish and chip shop, called Daveys. In Northumberland. Worth a visit one day. I went 3 years ago. It was great. Will now go and watch your other vlogs. Take care

Top video, another one on wish list. Top viewing 👌

You're spot on, Lee. There's no greater place on Earth to be than England in the summer-time. No other country comes remotely close! Winter on the other hand... hahaha.

Wow fantastic fish and chips cooked to perfection the beef dripping adds to the flavour peas and the curry sauce looked good as well it does not matter about the skin on the fish they never took it off the old days 10/10.

Looked and reminded me of my childhood:) the skin not for me but that's how it used to be when I was younger, the dog used to get the skin lol. Could almost smell the chippy through the screen amazing little hidden gem huggles xxxx

Now that's what I call a traditional English fish and chip shop😋😋

Shandy Bass as a kid. Spot on. Good stuff. 😄👍
