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.

I stopped watching after he teamed up with Danny.
From what I’ve read on here, it appears it was a wise decision.
Such a shame because I did like him before that.
Danny is an arse...made himself look a complete idiot wading into the whole James Dimitri/Shawarma Hut stuff (i see Robbie Thompson who was also involved in that in that photo from the pub too).

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.

I caved to thumbnail clickbait and watched his re-review of Walkers fish 'n' chip shop in Padstow. Gazza disguised himself in a cheap Michael Fabricant/Austin Powers wig and glasses but still got thrown out. He managed to find someone from Spud Bros to go in and buy a meal.

Zzzzz.

Who's going to his Maidstone gig? Sadly I haven't any transport available to get there. Boo!

ETA - I missed it. Sob.

When he was a kid, pub food was absolutely awful. It’s not like he’s Jamie Oliver. 😂 He looks like he was a doorman/porter. Nothing wrong with that, but this guy has not had a full career of eating and knowing good food. He has just found a niche and making money from it.

Well he did a video where he claimed because of his internet celebrity he'd been 'assaulted' in public on multiple occasions, and in the comments of that video financial donations were flying in because some people just have money to burn and a severe lack of sense. So I don't know what else it would be!
Now you say this,I vaguely remember now.

I watched one video of theirs and they were just getting drunker and drunker as it went on lol.

Gary looks like an utter knob with his crappy table, Gavison and Lidl bakery hall on a public footpath on his recent video.

I have been watching gary for a while i do like him but he's getting rather repetitive and the expecting 5 star food from take aways is a bit annoying won't watch his new channel can't stand Danny 😑
Yep, I get it. I tend to whack on one of his videos when I'm eating, but it's all getting a bit samey.

I have found that Greeno Eats knows much more about food and wine etc than Gary.
Greeno gives very good reviews over all. And he doesn't pretend he isn't making any money from youtube the way Gary does.
If only he would stop pushing up his glasses all the time - it's really irritating!
Greeno is indeed more knowledgable. Oh dear, that's all that I'm going to look for now.
