However, the couple expressed their disappointment with the food they received at a restaurant in their posh resort.
In one vlogging on their YouTube channel they explained why their Sunday Roast was such a disappointment.
Noel went on a three-minute rant about the mediocre meal, showing viewers images of both his and Sue’s plates.
“I hate complaining, never complain about anything, except we went out for dinner today, for a Sunday roast, and it’s the worst we’ve ever had,” he told his followers.

He explained that the restaurant they ate at is one recommended by a celebrity chef, although he declined to share the name.
“It was awful, just the worst ever, Toby Carvery is much better,” said Noel.
Sue pointed out that the problem could be that the meat was not what they were used to in Britain.
“I think it was just the fact that the beef was very, very thin and I can only describe it as bacon around the edges,” she said.
However, Noel said he didn’t mind the “greasy” edges of the beef, but he couldn’t get over the streaks of fat.
“I know some people are excited about that, right, with this Wagyu steak or Wagyu beef or whatever it is, but it was terrible,” he said.
He showed the audience his plate, which contained a thin slice of medium beef with a small amount of carrots, potatoes and a Yorkshire pudding.
Sue’s plate was similar, with well done beef and roast potatoes alongside her mash.
Noel pointed out how dry both meals looked, and explained why they avoided the gravy.
“And what is a Sunday dinner? The gravy. I didn’t put anything on it, I tasted it and thought ‘no,'” he said.
On the other hand, Sue was a little more adventurous and poured it on her plate.
How can the Radfords, a family of 22, afford to live?
As Britain’s largest family, it should come as no surprise that Sue and Noel Radford must have some hefty bills.
Together they have no fewer than 22 children and seven dogs, which often makes some people wonder how they manage their money.
The Radfords support themselves with the proceeds from Noel’s bakery, The Radford Pie Company, which is located near their home.
On them websiteit says: “We have had our own beautiful bakery since 1999 and this is how we manage to support (and feed) our huge and growing family as well as the local people of Heysham and Morecambe.
The family expanded their business to cater to online orders placed across the UK.
The business is a family affair, with Noel at the helm and some of their children helping out.
The older children, who work at least part-time, do not get a free ride because they have to pay a small amount of rent to their parents.
“We elderly people do pay a bit of room and board. Admittedly, it’s not much, but I’m also currently trying to save for my own house.” their daughter Chloe said in a video on the website YouTube channel.
Sue added: “We’ve always said that if you want to buy somewhere, renting is a bit of dead money, so we’d rather you save that money and stay at home a little longer.
“I also believe that they should pay board money if they earn. Our parents always raised us with the fact that we had to pay room and board.”
It is known that Noel and Sue are not dependent on benefits for their large brood and live from their cake shop for their income.
They also revealed that they make money from brand partnerships on social media.
The Radford family star in their own reality TV show 22 Kids and Counting, which has already run for four series.
Brand expert Andy Barr believes Noel and Sue were paid less than £10,000 for each show.
He told the Daily mail: “The typical per-episode compensation will be in the thousands, rather than the tens or hundreds of thousands that people often think is the case with these types of TV shows.
“If they continue to get orders for a fourth or fifth season, they can ask for a higher fee.”
He estimates that the Radfords earn £5,000 per episode.
“I put some on mine and you said, ‘Oh, is the gravy good?’ and me [shook my head]. You said, “Are you kidding me?” and me [shook my head]” she recalled.
While Noel described his review as a ‘rant’, Sue said they were simply disappointed with the experience.
They also pointed out that the luxury restaurant charged £41 per person for their Sunday Roast.
However, the couple managed to incorporate the meal into their meal plan.
They added that they would probably have sent the food back if this had not been the case.
