Keith Floyd is my favourite chef of all time, the man was a great chef, and above all, a normal bloke and a superb entertainer. None of the current TV chefs come anywhere close.

Yes Keith Floyd was an utter genius

I've cooked this Dish many many times professionally. In Scotland on the East Coast. I'm also Scottish. The Cullen Skink liquor should be no thicker than whole milk. In other words there is no thickeners added only the potatoes. If the potatoes aren't over cooked you'll get very little starch released. The Skink you're eating is cooked classically.

This guy works hard to give us a really genuinely review that all levels of wealth can enjoy

Who'd have thought it, Rick Stein getting some serious competition from Neil Morrissey.

Keith Floyd was a genius and gave me a passion for cooking. Rick Stein is also amazing, but let’s not forget the great David Pritchard, who without, we would not know either of these great chefs. He was the one that brought Keith and Rick to our screens and sadly died in 2019.

As for the thinness of Cullen Skink soup, yes, it can be thin, but it also depends on the type of potato used to cook it. I prefer to use floury "tatties" such as Maris Piper or King Edward potatoes, which can thicken it up a bit. Coming from a Scotsman that grew up in a town 12 miles from Cullen

Floyd on Fish ... he and Rick having a fishy feast on a trawler heading out of port - iconic!

Nice for the legend that was Keith Floyd to get a mention too. Met him in his restaurant in Devon many years ago. He appeared at the urinal beside me. Normally, I don't chat in that situation, but I made an exception! Top bloke. Even washed his hands before the hand shake 😂

Keith Floyd was the best, a true eccentric. Do love Rick Stein, and loved his dog Chalky on the programmes x

I always liked watching Gary Rhodes, He had a good way of presenting his show.

Keith is a legend! He always loved to cook with wine, wonder why? 😂

LOVED watching Keith Floyd’s shows growing up!

Great watch Gary. I went to see Rick Stein at St George’s hall in Bradford on Friday. What a smashing all round guy he is.

Keith Floyd was the best for me an absolute legend, got to admit Rick stein is the best tv chef on tv today by far haven't got time for the other celebrity chefs, the meal looked good the soup looked perfect to me as i don't like thick soups i much prefer a broth type soup or a beef consommé, fish cakes looked a decent portion alas I'm not a fishy man so in my case i wouldn't have ordered the starter or mains but the pud looked brill, and the location was fab, great review as normal 8 was a good score i think a 9 would have been fairer but you were there so i take your word for it, another gem thanks Gary.

Made me laugh when you said you watched the plate of mussels pass by... l've lost count of the times I've seen another dish go past and thought 'Wish I'd ordered that now' 😂 Another great review Gary 👍

I loved Keith Floyd, too! He was very clever and quirky but truly knew his way around the kitchen. Rick is also a favourite. I wrote to him a couple times as his dog, Chalky, was related to mine! I have signed photos (complete with a paw print) from them, tucked away in one of his cook books! The food looked good - I think I would've picked the same things as you, in that set menu, though the lemon tart that went with the bottom options would also have appealed! Again, a fantastic vlog and brilliant review. Your style of presentation is great, so please don't change. Definitely my favourite food reviewer now - you don't complicate things with fancy language or fluff it out to lessen the times when things aren't so great! Thank you! xx

Top notch, super professional video as always 👌🏼 you deserve a hell of alot more subscribers!! Keep them coming 🍻

Another great review Gary, I’m a big fan of Rick so interesting to watch the video. Keep up the good work.

Gary love your reviews always makes me feel hungry! Always very honest and informative. Your mention of the legend Keith Floyd brought back memories thanks , keep it up.

Amazing review as always my good man. Keep up the amazing work. 👊👏

Gaz i loved Keith Floyd too & all his programmes but Floyd on France was a masterpiece of culinary TV because of what it meant..

Gary you are very quickly becoming one of my favourite content makers. Keep doing what you do each day my friend. Much love to you and your family. Cant wait until the next video. 😊

Im a chef 10 mins from Cullen, Skink definetly on the thin side but overall looks great👍

I get that this is a more refined version of cullen skink, but still feel it could've done with a bit more body... Glad to hear it tasted so good though, and that it came with bread!! I've used Jerusalem artichoke instead of potato when making cullen skink before to keep it a little lighter and add some flavour interest!

Lovin’ your video Gary! Looking forward to Padstow!!! 🐠 xx

Food looked lovely tge fishcakes were small that sticky toffee pudding looked delicious thanks gary as qlways brilliant review

Rick's KZfaq channel is my go to when I want to throw together something for house guests...love his approach to food and life.

I was in Falmouth a few years ago and fancied some fish and chips so I headed to Stein's chippy. I got as far as the price list and turned around. I recall it was about £18 for the basic cod and chips. Robbing bastard.

Great review again Gary.......For the location , quality of food and service it looked worth it to me! 🙂

Hi Gary, another great review...All looked good. Certainly need to go for the set meals!!!...Thanks for your efforts

I loved Keith Floyd he was always pissed out of his head 😂😂.

Love gary. Straight to the point. Always truthful. And no clickbait like every other youtuber. Love him 👍👍👍

Floyd was an absolute legend! Loved his TV shows. If you’ve never read his autobiography it’s well worth a read. A life extremely well lived!

Sticky toffee pudding, ,YUM!! my favourite, has to have lots of sauce and I like ice-cream on mine. Heaven on a spoon...

Another classy looking place with great looking dishes. But haddock starter, haddock mains?!?! I too thought the soup far too thin, that's not the way i've had/seen it in the past. And on (my) screen, the fishcakes looked a good size, and with there being 3. But didn't look like there was enough sauce to go around. And STP, you can't go wrong, ha. PS, scratch the starter/main comment, I once had chicken livers, followed by calves liver. The tum wants what the tum wants eh 🙂

I always enjoy the way Rick Stein combines literature wuth food. He'll read a poem or a passage from a novel to put the dish into historical context. I find the mix of history and food fascinating.

So happy to see your channel grow so much! Well deserved. I think you would make a killing doing more low, mid and high price comparisons of meals too. As I said, much congrats on your growing channel, I remember just yesterday it felt like you hit the 50k mark!

Thanks Gary for another mouth watering review, some good friends f mine didn’t have a good experience at this restaurant pre pandemic ~ good to they’ve picked up, as ever keep em coming!

I enjoyed watching Keith Floyd you were always guaranteed a laugh, the director David Pritchard died 4 yrs ago now January 2019. Rick Stein is also very watchable, good review as always , take care Gary, , Gareth

Three great plates of food and an idyllc location on the river. You mentioned the mussels as a starter. As a huge seafood fan, that would have caught my eye. Whilst I love a sticky toffee pud, I think I would have opted for the the ginger pudding, as long as it had a decent kick of ginger to it.

Top job again Gary, perfect review and a fair score I think.

Loving the content Gary. I'm also a big fan of Rick Stein and Keith Floyd as well. Keep it up guys

So glad I found your channel!Another enjoyable video, thank you so much!😊🎉

Floyd in is 2cv and a bottle of wine

Very fair and balanced!! That is why this channel is addictive viewing. Well done, Gary.

(88) Delighted that Rick Stein is still going for it. Really liked watching his cooking shows when I lived in NZ and also Keith Floyd. Everything looked picture perfect; personally I only had Cullen Skink that had a light broth like that one. Shed 5 (restaurant on the Wellington wharf front, not sure if its still there) only had it on their menu on the weekend. Always came with a fresh bap made in house. I would have given it a 10, but I have a small appetite.

He has a restaurant here in Poole, in Sandbanks, the very expensive bit of Poole where all the houses overlooking Poole Bay look like they were made in Minecraft. The restaurant is also very expensive and mediocre at best, but it's much loved by the sort of person who really, really wants to be allowed into the golf club.

The problem is all that food can be made in vast quantities. I think an 8 is very generous for that, 7 here but hard to argue with Gary.

Yeah definitely agree with you gary about the soup and fishcakes. Mind you it looked absolutely delicious mate. And the sticky toffee pudding looked to die for. Great review gary 👏

I took my father to here for his birthday excellent location, nice atmosphere, my father ordered the Thai Fish Curry, I had a taste of it at the end, it was the best Thai fish curry I've ever eaten, If only id tasted it at the beginning I would have devoured it!

Looking good Gary 💯 , have you had work done recently?

Early again, my mum bloody loves this man! I hope this lives up

Absolutely love your videos sir!! Your happy go lucky attitude is really contagious! I enjoy your critiques and observations! I can't wait to make the trip over the pond from Canada to try some of your recommendations :) Take care sir and thank you!! :)

I visited Rick Stein’s cookery school in Padstow many years ago with my brother which was a Christmas present from my husband. We had a great few days and the booze was definitely flowing as was the food ! It was definitely an experience. I was surprised you ordered two smoked haddock dishes. Great vlog as always

65.7K. Numbers keep going up and deservedly so. Best wishes, Gary xxx.

Yeah that Ivy in Cobham not a bit of bread with soup. Bad.

Hi Gary, looked like a pretty good dining experience. Yes, I've always loved Rick Stein's TV programs. You get a lot more than great food. You get Rick reading Thomas Hardy poems, excerpts from novels, and the culture and history of the places he visits. Spain and the story of El Cid comes first to mind. A great man, much loved by his fans who number in the millions. When I was a kid, I'd sit myself down on the couch, mum's terrific Sri Lankan curry on my lap, and watch Keith Floyd, imagining I was having some of that rare-vintage French red he was quaffing. What an extraordinary man ! He seemed to have such a pleasant nature. ( I have to figure out how to get onto Telegram today ) . My score was 9/10. Thanks Gary. Another fine noshery you got us into !

Love a bit of the Stranglers from Floyd. BTW Gary that was Rick's first ever TV appearance on Keith's program.

Met Keith floyd in Cardiff circa 1983....I asked him if he wasn't drinking wine what was his other favourite tipple ? He replied "Simple old chap, Newcastle brown ale...guaranteed to get you pissed." Ps the Cullen skink was too thin 😢 Pps The good the bad and the ugly...Rick Stein, Harvey Weinstein and Frankenstein 😂

Well done Gary Lad, decent looking food. Quite expensive but if you’re getting quality then it’s value for money. The problem with Steins restaurant in Padstow is there’s so many better, cheaper options available.

Lovely as usual.. Barnes had a fantastic recording studio too with many famous bands recording there.

Thanks Gary for another brilliant video , I had fish cakes at Rick Steins Padstow restaurant about twenty years ago they came with a chilli jam dipping sauce they were very good . Keep up the good work 👏

Hi Gary, you're travelling to Padstow to try Rick Steins fish and chips? Please use this as a benchmark - 5 out of 10, poor. I'm down there every year. They're really not great.

Bet Rick has never cooked a chip in that particular restaurant

Another great review. Thanks Gary. I'm glad you mentioned Keith Floyd. What a character. Somewhere in my house I've got his book 'Floyd on Fish'. I don't think I ever made any of the recipes but it's worth reading just for his asides. You can imagine them in his voice with the accompanying mannerisms. In the intro to one- and bear in mind the cultural references pertain to 1984- he says something like "this is a dish that you might even persuade your orange haired kids to eat, if you can get them out of their bedrooms where they're listening to Headache 100".

Drool, drool,drool . Thanks for the review Gary, Rick Stein is my favourite too 👍

Sorry as a Cornishman I would not set foot in one of his establishments. Liked what he did back in the 90s and even bought one of his early books then. Wonder if Rick prepared your plate Gary? Or was he back in Australia.

No wonder the guys a multi 😂

I love watching Ricks shows on the telly. I’m delighted you enjoyed your meal.

I'm dropping a 9 on this one. The combined portion size looked about substantial. Quality was definitely all over it. Price was acceptable. The soup was too watery, in my opinion, as well. The dessert absolutely carried this through for a solid, if not perfect, score.

Thinks he’s a better chef than what he is

Rick Stein. What a gentleman. Loved his programme’s for years. His son (can’t remember his name) was/ is also a cook and a fine one too. Unfortunately ended up under the father’s shadow and never became a Rick. Kieth however was a genius. Great video guys. 👍

Great review as always Gary food looks fantastic I agree Rick Stein is a great chef keep up the super reviews

Stein's fish and chips are a rip off. Do not believe the hype. Poor quality and grossly over priced.

One aspect I like about your channel is the intro and outro. Barnes is such a lovely part of London, definitely one of my favourites. Wish I could afford to live there lol Another delightful review!

The soup doesn’t have to be thick (I am Scottish) just full of flavour. I was actually impressed with the fish cakes as you had three! Normally only two are served and they may be a bit larger but cool quickly once opened and I like food to be at least warm. Am absolutely green with envy as far as the sticky toffee pudding is concerned! You’re one lucky lad!

Great review Garry, what a lovely location.

8 is a fair shout the pudding looked mouthwatering another great video gary your channel is really growing & fair play too you have a great week 😊👏👏

What a great video! / Oh bless Keith Floyd, also my fave TV chef of all time. Have all his books and all his media on archive. Probably my all time fave resource of his is "Floyd on India" - amazing book and amazing TV series, such good memories. Got all Rick Stein's books too ! Right back to the video / OK - all looked really great for sure. I am biased here, but I just know I would rather pay a premium for say 'Indian' or 'thai' as compared to what was served today for you - but no way knocking it, it looked fabulous. So I think 8/10 is fair. Mark.

10/10, considering where it is , overheads, location views, looked top class , well done Gary,see you on the next one.

Ah man, keith Floyd, what a man, a pleasure to watch. Rick Stein, I love his programs, food, and travel. The food looked great, fish cakes that aren't all mash .... yum. I'd have had the ginger pudding cos I'm a ginger fiend 😂 Expensive restaurant, but ah man, once In a while why not 😊 looked worth it. Excellent video mate 😊😊 an 8.5 for me.

Keith Floyd and The Galloping Gourmet (Graham Kerr). Thanks Gary another great vlog xx

Thanks for another great video Gary. Good to see that you’re getting around to different places. I see a theme here with the celebrity chefs? Yes I agree with you, I certainly gave it an eight or possibly a nine, but the soup looked a little thin and certainly the fishcakes as a main course Looked a little small and I was surprised there was no chips or anything with it. Obviously the sticky toffee pudding looked amazing. I actually thought it was ice cream on there not clotted cream maybe ice cream would’ve gone down better? Anyway brilliant work look forward to seeing the next one soon👍

Great review again Gary , Cullen skink is my go to starter whenever available.

Brilliant analysis again Gary

Great review as always Gary! I think you did the right thing by saving other options for Padstow. Overall today's meal seemed reasonable considering all elements. Ah Floyd and his ubiquitous glass of wine.. what a bon vivant! Congratulations on hitting the 65k mark Gary it's well deserved 👏

clotted cream moment had me laughing! Maybe not that much! Actually I am!! classic line that :)

Keith is my all time favorite chef and he was quite big in Sweden when his show was first shown in the early 90/s! Of course another great review, Gary and the food was obviously great.

You are such a sweet man. I used to be a restaurant critic for a respected publication, but you do it much better than I ever did. so much love for you.

Great video GAZ you present really well buddy stay safe 👍👍💙

Great video. Also new restaurant opened lately in Teddington which named "Pirzola Turkish Restaurant" You must try this new place, specially their kebabs very tasty

Oh wow loved Keith Floyd and me and my wife love Rick Stein, It was great to watch Keith Floyd talk to the camera man and slugged red wine down whilst cooking.

Love watching Rick Stein's programmes, and the old re-runs of Keith Floyd. Glad you've gone to a "posh" restaurant for a change, and shown everyone that they often do cheaper set menus, especially at lunch times. I went to The Cross at Kenilworth and was blown away at how good their lunch set menu was, and whilst an expensive treat, the bill wasn't as scary as I assumed it would be.

Great review!

Great food with Rick Stein - stayed at his hotel in Padstow for three days and ate his restaurant food, amazing. I even did the cookery course there on the quayside and had a great time learning lots of new skills. The best recipes were the sambal and then the emulsified spicy guacamole. 😎

This was an especially interesting chapter to watch. As much as I love watching Gary eat various breakfasts, watching this complete seafood dinner with its variety of ingredients was even more interesting. The eggs with the fish cakes were a very unusual combination.

Same here, Keith Floyd.was an amazing cook. I always find that celebrity restaurants are always expensive, for very little food.

Food looked fanatastic . The set menu looked great value for money . no problem with the service charge either . Where you get stiffed is the on the wines ,8/10 from me also ,you looked happy when the pudding came along lol .Another great review GaryWill be giving this ago sometime .Cheers

Massive Rick stein fan so this was a great video Gary. Food looked sensational, the sticky toffee pudding looked Devine
