Diners have hit the fish and chips of famous chef Rick Stein who describe them as 'too expensive' and in the conviction that they were wrongly served 'parts of children'.
Recently food critic Gary Hanna, who runs the restaurant Review YouTube channel Gary Eats, admitted that he was disappointed about his meal that he eventually returned his meal.
The Chippy in Cornwall is a renowned name in the British fish and chip shop scene, but some customers are not impressed.
He charges at least £ 15.95 for a pick -up restaurant from Haddock and Chips and it rises to £ 19.95 for dinners in his cafe – and if you want a pot with Mayo on the side, this costs another £ 2.25.
Recently food critic Gary Hanna, who runs the restaurant Review YouTube channel Gary Eats, admitted that he was disappointed about his meal that he eventually returned his meal.
He said earlier: 'I had his fish and chips and I have to say they were disappointing. In fact, it actually exclaimed and said it was a tourist trap. '
In the interest of honesty, however, Gary gave the award -winning Stein's Fish & Chips in Padstow a second chance.
He disguised himself, visited the restaurant and ordered Haddock and Chips, a portion of scampi, somewhat mushy peas, a blob of curols sauce and a small pot of tartar sauce.
After waiting for 20 minutes, his food finally arrived, but he did not believe it was worth the wait and said, “That is not a good piece of fish at all.”

He added that the chips were 'a bit dry' while he called the scampi a 'mass-produced mush' and the mushy peas as 'waste'.
Online reviewers on TripAdvisor have also described their disappointment with the restaurant with many that are not impressed.
One wrote: 'To be honest, the worst fish and chips I have ever tried! Chips and fish fittings were absolutely saturated with oil and the curry sauce was a deviation from a touch of curry. '
Another added: 'Save your money boys and support the local fish and chip output in Padstow. The quality and portion size of our Rick Stein order was terrible. '
While a third said, “Initially thought there was a mistake and we had parts of children.”
Someone else wrote: 'We waited a long time in the cold to be disappointed about the food. The portions were at least in size and not proportional with the price of the meal.
'We also thought that basic principles such as mayonnaise and tartar sauce would be included in the price'
Another said: “Pure fat, good too expensive, not even nice fish and chips, mushy peas if you could call them that watery pasta.”
In the interest of fairness, Gary gave the award -winning Stein's Fish & Chips in Padstow a second chance, but was still underwounded
