  • I've gone to Poppylands! After travelling over 3 hours, we made it to the town of Horsey which is home to a fantastic World War Two 1940 Cafe and Tearoom decorated with some of the finest memorabilia that I;ve ever seen. Vintage.

    Did go there with some friends when we spent a few days in Sea Palling, the food and the ambience was just fantastic. I had bangers and mash, one of the better bangers and mash I have had. My wife had the breakfast and she was really enjoying it, but what really stood out was all the memoribilia and the ambience. Fantastic service and high quality traditional British food through and through! Another fantastic review, Gary, I really enjoyed this one, I enjoy all of your reviews, but this one brought back some nice memories. Keep up the fabulous work, mate and congrats on very soon hitting 10K subscribers. Hopefully in a few months you can multiply that with 10, you guys deserve it! Speak to you very soon, buddy! 🙂👌

    I must say Gary that Poppylands is simply delightful with wonderful memorabilia adding such an ambience to the room. I can almost hear the strains of "Uncle Arthur", Stupid boy" & "They don't like it up 'em" coming through the walls ! Dad's army was a family favourite for me growing up. The food did not disappoint either making it a must visit for anyone in the UK or visitors from elsewhere. Congratulations on reaching 10,000 subscribers too Gary & I'm proud to be one of them ! Your vlogs are always well presented, informative & honest. Well done & here's to another 10,000 very soon !

    No meat but made with vegetables ,was lovely . I miss my nans plain cooking , boy could her meals fill you up lol . My grandad would often describe what life was like during the war and after . You cant begin to imagine what life was life for them all back then . Great review Gary ,keep em coming . Cheers

    Excellent as always! I did wonder if Baked Beans were around then, but found this snippet:
    "Between 1941 and 1948, The Ministry of Food classified Heinz Baked Beans as an "essential food" as part of its wartime rationing system". Wow!
    One thing - did they cook the chips in lard?

    I think that was a fun place to go to,and the menu was very creative,though I wish they had made the breakfast more authentic,there was no chips,or baked beans on breakfast in the forties,but there was black pudding,kidneys,and fried bread,dipped in bacon fat Unfortunately I’m old enough to remember.I suppose people today don’t eat things like black pudding,kidney,and liver,so no use putting it on the dish,at that time we ate rabbit,roasted,or as a stew,and liver,and onions,I also remember mackerel being one of the common fishes,and plaice,hake,and row being sold in the F& C shops.Glad you enjoyed it.😊

Looked like a lovely place to visit and im a sucker for old style sweets and would have filled the boot for the journey home! Look forward to the next review.

    Yet another great review. I think the bangers and mash were perfect if you wanted decent comfort food and the gravy looked seriously thick, which I do like. The breakfast presentation was very good and it's nice to see the beans in a small pot as it keeps them warmer for longer and not everyone, including me, likes beans splashed all over their food.
    It's got some very quaint touches overall and the ambience is clearly unique. I'm pleased the long drive was worth it for you.
    A well-deserved marking for the serious thought and effort that has gone into making this unique establishment.

    Great clip Gary and Mr cameraman to which firstly congratulations on hitting 10k Subscribers you have both done so well.
    Place wise it was a great spot with lots to see, and a gift shop that was lovely.
    Score wise im afraid it was an 8 for me as it does so annoy me as iv said before when they use a quality sausage then deep fry it 😒.
    Also im not really a big fan of Chips on a breakfast, and can just about accept hash browns.
    On saying this i would certainly give the place a try, as it looks quite amusing.
    Chris.

    • @GaryEats

      Hi Chris. No problem mate, can understand your reasoning as I don't usually go for chips on a breakfast.

    A very good evening Gary, its your super power. Finding so many fascinating, strange, sometimes wacky eateries 😊 And all shot so well by the outstanding CTP😊 Small plate,good old-fashioned grub, looked the real deal. And gravy you could slice❤beautiful Breakfast next. The eggs, cooked in rings, keeps their shape & makes them thicker( time wise,longer to cook and set the whites, overcooked the yolks)best looking bacon,a well cooked tomato. Chips ( Tom Kerridge, shame on you!!!) "Very tasty,very sweet😂Not happy with the ramekin 😢. Its a day out destination, with added food😊 I'm sure the cost has risen since the 1940'😅 But what a great package deal Well done for finding another hidden jem. Travel safe both, great video, Allan&Family ❤

  • @stevekirkby6570
    @stevekirkby6570 Před 7 měsíci +5

    Fascinating place Gary - However in reality I think the menu would be a no-go in wartime, due to rationing. I think you got 2 rashers of bacon per week and quater oz of butter? But anyway, looks great. Nostalgia eh? Brits in ww2 could only have dreamed of the plates you enjoyed. But yes, looks good and a different place to visit indeed! PS, what happened to your poppy - looks like the dog got to it :) Edited to ask.... did Heinz beanz exist during the war... a German company? Or am I mistaken?

    • @GaryEats

    • @GaryEats

    Really love the look of this place. Love the.sound of the menu. Real English food, not the pretend version we get lumbered with in London. At three times the price. As I watch this, I'm drooling!!! The bangers and mash is a good portion, the sort of portions that we got when I was a kid in the 1970s. 10 out of 10.
    The breakfast looked delicious too. And a good portion. I like chips with a fry up. They looked good. 10 out of 10.
    A great review for our special remembrance day. Good of you to do it this way.
    Gary, if you go there again, please try a suet pudding !!!

    What an interesting place! I really love the music you played. Peas were served with the mash and sausages, as they should be. At Mother Mash the plate looked rather bare without the peas, I thought. You looked really happy at this place. The tea-cosy was a scream. The spitfire decoration on the cappuccino was so clever. A really good place to visit. Thank you for taking us there.
