Murgatroyd was the name of a mascot on the UK TV series called Magpie which aired in the '60s and '70s and the name was suggested by a viewer, they invited their audience to write in with suggestions and Murgatroyd was the winning entry.

Hi, glad to see the Premier in the back ground. The wife and I will be coming over from Oz and meeting up with the wife’s Brother and Wife coming over from the US and also her younger Brother up from London in a couple of weeks.We normally stay at relatives but after 50 years there are not many close ones left. So we are getting together for a week at the Premier before going our seperate ways again . we will definitely be paying Murgatroids a visit while there. We have to do some scattering of the Mother in law’s ashes in the river Wharfe at Burnsall that’s why we’re all together. Harry Ramsdens is also close bye,although my Mother said they didn’t go there any more because if had “ gone off” Keep up the good work Lee the Wife and I are keen followers of your blog.

It's basically two portions of fish and chips in the one box. That being said did look excellent. For me though, I'd have opted for what we call the "kiddies cone" of chips, and I would have had the chips in a separate box so they don't "sweat". On a note about fish and chips generally, I tend to opt for a small portion. Not because of me being a light eater, on the contrary. But it's because I have a low boredom threshold, and it gets boring quickly. Everyone has their favourite, but I'm going to plug my mate Dave in The Craftsman pub in Qawra (Malta). Best fish and chips on the island, and it's cod too, on an island where cod isn't easily available. Read the reviews. First class.👍👍🇲🇹🇲🇹

Meal was lovely nothing to complain about. I had big un partner had special. Fully agree with the review however. One thing I would say however is while we were sat eating waitress who seemed to be in charge was talking to couple next to us about a regular who was expected anytime and her table was ours. Wich felt a bit off as if she had booked it then we should not have been seated there. On our exit the queue was out the door and the lady who wanted our table came in went straight past queue and said to waitress is my table ready and walked straight to it. The people at front of queue said they had been waiting for there booked table but had to wait. I would like to say that they should not be prioritising to regulars if one person in queue had to wait then all should. Not just allowing her to walk past long queue and be seated b4 others.. Made us feel rushed. 1st come 1st served. No special treatment should be given

Fall back position was takeaway from their chippy downstairs. Had Haddock n Chips and Whitby Scampi n Chips and went and scoffed em on the pier. I don't know how they do it but the fish tasted nothing like fish from an inland chippy. It was buttery, white as white can be and the batter (incl scraps) was perfect with perfect chips n peyz on't side. Definitely going back but will book a table next time.

Grey, dry looking fish, you can't get really get fresh fish so far away from the coast. And the batter had infiltrated the fish.

Yes Pete, I realise it's all been flash frozen.
