Just review the quality, cooking, price such as £2 for each sauce etc. value for money, final bill and mark it out of ten.(Like normal).
Then, mention he gives free chips to the hungry and stuff at the end. As for the steak for a pound.. the bloke said himself it’s the off cuts that get thrown away. Good man for not wasting food and giving some people a bargain , but , that’s just good sense, he’s running a business ,he’s still making a quid , he’s not the Saviour. Good luck to the guy, but what a fuss was made.
Yeah, Gazza was being a bit patronising IMO in that particular video. The £20 was a bit OTT.

As for the rudest chippy one - yep, defo the bloke was put on the spot.

I think it’s a complete cheek of him to turn up like that full stop! The guy handled it well. I think it’s outrageous, turn up, with camera man, proceed to set up your own dining room in his garden and critique everything to blast over the internet. Could see the bloke come out his door at one point looking at them, like , what’s going on. I felt sorry for the guy involved,
I did wonder whether Gary had asked his permission first to film but the guy did seem put on the spot

I wish he would stop comparing everywhere he goes to bloody Fallow 🙄
Fallows great but yeah for the sake of diversity with all the places he's been like c'mon now 😂 he probably just wants to be associated with them as much as possible given they're both good at what they do in the restaurants and on socials

Anyone noticed how many sponsor adverts Green is slipping in ? And the buy me a coffee thing keeps popping up he can fuck right off and stop saying Greeno Towers ffs.
Just went to watch Greeno, but switched it off when he started the HF talk and I realised what was happening.

He’s just been to the worst place on the planet,( that his mates have already been to) got overcharged for a coffee or something and couldn’t eat the food. He should have demanded a full refund, but couldn’t even get his £3.70 back. He was terrified of the old boy in there. He even forgot his coat and was bricking it to go back in and get it. Pathetic 🙈

I've often wondered what the situation is with his mum, because in the early days of his channel he leant into his role as a carer to explain why he couldn't travel far etc. I guess now the channel is big he's paying for professional carers or residential care. I don't imagine he'd ever disclose that though.
I took it, that , when he did the big announcement vid with RMT Danny , that he was helping him out (cos everyone is so cruel) he was doing new channel with him and he would be stepping back a-bit from his own channel. Mother’s illness etc.
And would be doing less for the time being. Clearly, I took that completely wrong, as he seems to be doing loads.

It seems the partridge esque persona is totally fake though, compare it to his earlier reviews, never acts the prat there. you could argue its because he was nervous or what have you but even when he seemed to have built up some confidence a year or so in he never acted this much of a pleb. Again questioning whether Danny is the influence or if its their agency.

And its been some time since he came out with the whole 'i dont get paid for reviews' response to accusation videos etc so that mightve changed by now, especially with Danny being the sort of reviewer/ creator that would literally wear sponsors on a t shirt. On the other hand not getting paid just means he can be as rude or have as many bad takes about the food / places he wants, he wouldnt be able to do nearly as much of the click bait slop if he had to promote every place with one of his favourite bits being 'it isnt worth it for the money'
Since "Tory Boy" Matt from Food Review Club was called out for charging £1500+vat for a review, and it didn't seem to have any real effect on his channel, all of them charge now.
£750 - £1200 a review.
Maybe the restaurant or takeaway gets a reduced rate if more than 1 of them reviews it.
Probably why they are signed up and let the agency do the bookings.

He refers to the cameraman as his son, but for the longest time didn't let that out. No idea if he's married or not.

Also no idea if he bought subs, but I've said elsewhere on this thread that my husband found him right at the start and it was kind of meteoric how fast his channel grew.

Is he married? Children? I read somewhere his cameraman is his son. He is 60 this year.

Also, how did her only start his channel in 2024 and has 467k subscribers? Did he buy subs??
That many? 🤔
Pretty sure the MacMaster helped him in the beginning.
All his followers must have gone to Gary as his channel has stagnated.
