- The MacMaster is in Nottingham at The Gooseberry Bush a Wetherspoons or as we call them in the Uk Spoons to review The Naga Chilli Chicken Vindaloo Curry and the challenge is can I eat it all and take the heat. Well I can tell you it is as hot as hell and it's also cheap and great value for money which is what we want in the cost of living crisis.

I’m liking these budget foodie finds lee with the cost of living at the moment, great video
A wee tip…after each bite of curry have some naan on its own or dipped into chutney, that will take the capsaicin off your palate and reduce the heat effect, or even rice on its own, don’t mix it with the sauce! Starchy foods help quell the heat…I’ve grown chillies for over 20 years so I know! Think I’ll be trying this next week after the gym
I'll give it a nine, that's an extra point for the entertainment you gave us. Looked very nice, I may be tempted myself.
Wotherspoon's has always been there, it's always been consistently good, great at times. It's a beacon and always a location everyone knows about. Not a lot of people know how they make profit, but how they do is genius. Cannae beat a spoons. 👍👌👌👌👌
I’ve had this curry a few weeks ago in our local Wetherspoons. It was beautiful. I love extra hot curries. I really enjoy going to Spoons and I agree with you 100%, if it wasn’t for them, everywhere else’s prices would be even higher than they already are. It’s a shame they’re selling off 32 of there pubs. No doubt they’ll be bought by these posh chains that charge the earth for a tiny meal on a saucer lol. This is a bargain for the price and when I had mine, I gave it a 10/10. I’m going with a 10 for yours too mate. Well done for attempting it 🔥👍👍
Totally agree re trams! I think it’s because councillors (who are not known for their brains usually) think they are twee and give the town a cosmopolitan look. They don’t. They are stupid things, cost a fortune to instal, dangerous to pedestrians, totally hopeless if one breaks down blocking the route.
Really hope DJ's watching this one.🥵 looked nice and clean and for the price .. its all we want👍
I ate this recently. It was hotter than any vindaloo I've eaten from an Indian.
I must say I had one today and blimey it was hot
@iain westley it's hot! And that is the main ingredient in a vindaloo for me. Although I've had many tastier ones in indian restaurants.
Had one this evening thinking it would be the usual 'super hot' rating that always ends up being as hot as a tikka masala. Five mins later and I'm there crying my eyes out chatting to my friend haha I thought it wasn't crazy hot but it's definitely a 'order with caution' meal for those who aren't used to chilli / hot curries. Was quite impressed with this one!
You can't beat Spoons curry day every Thursday, it's a 10 for value - my wife likes the Chicken Tikka but I prefer the Chicken Tarka - it's a little 'otter ! ...........Taxi !
Ha, ha, comedy gold mate- nice to know we both have good taste !
9/10 - That looked just as good as what you might find in most indian restaurants - perhaps slightly better than some.
Anyone who moans at a curry snd beer with rice and nan for 10 quid need to give their head a wobble.
You're a real brave man there mate, must of been sweating bullets with braving that vindaloo curry challenge!
Waking up wanting a vindaloo for breakfast now, cornflakes not cutting it! 🥵😂
Weather spoons is great value... lovely pubs that highlights the history of the area. Long may they continue
Hi. Amazing vid as always.😁 If you didn't know, you was meant to crumble up the poppadom onto the curry and eat it like that. Keep up the amazing content as always. 😄
Had this twice now each time I think I’ve made a big mistake and not going to be able to eat it, but I end up almost licking the plate!, keep up the great vids Lee
Wow that's fantastic value looked lovely as well. Great vid as always Lee, thx mate
I honestly didn't think you'd do that. Fair play, well done👏
Agreed, Lee! Gooseberry Bush is definitely the nicest of the city centre Spoons but it is just that bit out of the way... which is probably exactly why it's the nicest. Very much in the Trent Uni bubble. As for the tram, permanent transit corridors are a boon for urban development around them. Plus they're rapid over dedicated lines. Bus routes that can be withdrawn overnight and are slow over the entire route just don't have the same effect on urban development.
That looked great Lee, the price was really good. 9/10 from me today. I have a jar of Tikka masala cooking sause I'm gonna try soon but I'm afraid it might be a little too hot....lol....onwards.
Great vlog Lee. I cannot understand why folk knock Wetherspoon or Spoons as we call ‘em. I’ve been using them since 1997 when my local one in town opened “The Troll Cart”. More recently we’ve had another open “The William Adams” and I love them. Cheap drinks, cheap cocktails, cheap food and the Thursday deal “Curry Club” is my favourite. Incidentally if you are ever in an UK airport, Spoons is dearer there due to the high rents that have to pay. The first ever Wetherspoon opened in 1979 North London Muswell Hill and it was just called Martin’s Freehouse after owner Tim Martin. The Wetherspoon bit was added later named after Tim’s New Zealand school teacher. The JD has recently been dropped but that part of the name descends from the 80s tv show The Dukes Of Hazzard, (hey DJ with Daisy Duke), and JD Boss Hogg remember him? Anyway enough of the history lesson, I do love a good curry and I could tell by the dark sauce over the meat that was a hot 🥵🥵🥵one. I couldn’t believe you polished it all off Lee but well done anyway. Lucky for some towns and cities that have brought the trams back. Blackpool always had the right idea and kept theirs however here in Great Yarmouth, it was the late thirties when we done away with ours to much dismay. Now we only have the horse carriages or Landaus and that famous Wally Trolley like you saw when you came here in the summer. Nice vlogs they were too. Keep up the good work Lee loving your vlogs and I would suggest go and grab some ice 🧊 water pretty quick👍😉
Lee, it's insanely hot! I work there... I poured the curry onto some chips and ate it that way (after I finished work). On top of all the drink I needed to help cool my mouth down while eating... I set off walking home and I literally had to try and control my breathing 🤣 I thought I was guaranteed to be sick but luckily, I managed to keep it down!
Thank you for all the exposure you give to Wetherspoons, and your custom is appreciated!
Also, check out our new burger range, we have new ones that compare with McDonalds and Five Guys!
Pretty sure vindaloo translates in English as “Run to toilet” 🇯🇵 🚽
Just found your channel fella and already binging it! And you’ve got the same view of Spoons as myself…..it is what it is and they do a great job for the price. Keep up the great vids 👍
Thank you. 😎
Again, Great video Lee! I love how you keep eating the hot stuff, even though its a challenge💪🏻👌🏻
Wow it looks nicely presented...go leah ! You did well 10 out of 10 😃👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Id never attempt it my self .🇦🇺
Hey Lee! I always think it depends on which Spoons you go to! They are not all the same. You really are brave to tackle that curry considering we know you can’t handle spicy food like that. Still it looks good and plenty of meat in the curry so can’t complain. Nothing like. a crispy poppadum and mango chutney. Yum. Take care 😘👍🏻
I think your building tolerance to the heat more and more, well done mate. Great value, an extra quid for pint. I bet its packed
with students in their cups on the weekend. You really seem to be churnin out content lately and I love it. You should do a vid on how you and DJ met and became mates, im guessing Tenerife?
I love Wetherspoons good value food. Curry looked absolutely delicious
To be honest, I tried that Vindaloo about 2 months back, it is quite mild I thought. I didn't like the taste very much either, it was a poor curry in my opinion. Top Vid as usual!
Love a spoons mate. When you get home put a toilet roll in the fridge you'll need it. Great video Lee as always. Next time take DJ he likes the spice.👍
Ahh, the handle on those bowls is actually a spout. Incredible.
Great channel Lee.
Nice vlog Lee ,someone should open a Weatherspoons in NJ I think it would take off! While I was in England this summer “ spoon s”in Southport is The only bar I’ve seen Corona Mexican beer on Tap,so with temperatures in the 80 s with no clouds I thought I was in Mexico Lol well Maybe Hoboken Take care
I still have a Wetherspoon drinks menu from when I worked near Shipley/Bingley back in 2002, yes 20 years ago, draught Guinness 99p a pint.
Well done for finishing it. I ordered this curry in the Ipswich spoons (definitely not one of the better ones) confidentiality expecting it to only be a pub curry vindaloo. Oh how wrong I was, it had good flavour but was so hot. I'm glad I tried it but it was a one time thing, back to a Madras or Rogan next time.
You are a better man than I for trying it! What would DJ say? 9.5 for me.
I've only had a dip in that vindaloo sauce. Too hot for me. Spoon's curries may not be the finest but they're great value especially with a beer. Good review, Mac.
It was only ever going to end up one way, wasn’t it?? 🔥🔥😂😂
Tremendous value, though. Can’t wait to check it out.
Great place Spoons, value plus for food and booze. The Curry looked great, spicy yes, but that's curry, plenty of meat in there. 9 from me.
You're description of a hot curry never ceases to amaze me Lee. Hats off for the 🔥 ... my only 'burning' question is - how did it feel the next day 😆 jokes aside great review as usual 👏
Trams Lee?
They're for the greater good!
Now that looked like a fine curry - 10/10 VFM.
Regards trams mate better for the environment, the amount of people you get on the length of 1 tram would be about 3 double decker buses, spewing out fuel and not run on electricity.
Nottingham my home City,you got lost 🙈🙈🙈🙈
You cant beat abit of cheap Spoons grub every now and then, and especially in these times. Good vlog mate .👍👍👍👍
Score for food 8.5
Drinking fizzy drinks whilst eating spicy food isn't the best thing to do lol
God Lee, you're such a woose! DJ would have wolfed that into him in no time! Looked good actually, nam bread could possibly have been a bit fresher but other than that, good value and credit to spoons for serving up a vindaloo that actually tasted like a proper one....just don't forget to put the bog roll in the fridge and catch you on the next one! 😜
Bet DJ is on the floor laughing 😂
Love the content mate! More Spicy food please sir
Well done Lee, looks as though you enjoyed the experience. Good luck for later. 😂😂😂
@@nige3801 Hi mate yep, not nowadays Had very serious food poisioning when I went on holiday some years ago to Nth Africa. Can't eat spicy food anymore!! I use to love it. How ya doing pal, these Vlogs are keeping me sane, well almost!!! 😂😂🤪🤪😜
This is not the guy for reviewing this curry! It should be darren john!!😉🤣
I know you enjoyed that as you cleared the plate😂😂
I know a curry that isn't Hot, it's called Edwina! 😅
She's old enough to be ur Naan!
😆 😆
As Frank Carson would say, "it's the way I tell em!"
They should never have removed the tram tracks that were put down in the 19th century and then gradually replaced with buses in the 1920s.
Do u think with the dial a poem thing you were supposed to put some money in ? Like a pay phone?
You've cleaned the plate? Which means NO WAY was that a Naga curry. It's a bit like the Iceland Vindaloo which is nowhere near the chilli rating on the box. Lee we all know you faint and drink 3 litre of water at the mere whiff of a Bhuna. Darren John would have went through this like a breakfast bap.
Haha, I have to agree with you here. Probably is as spicey as a McDonald's curry sauce (sorry Lee). 😀
That looked a decent effort of a curry from Wetherspoons or any pub to be fair. 7.5/10.
I have always thought the exact same thing regarding trams. You are the only other person who appears to have the same what is the point in trams when you could have a bus without the fuss of wires, rails and the chaos they cause to regular traffic flows.
Hi Lee wow the curry looked fantastic mate we love a good curry. We have had the beef curry at the spoons that’s nice. Just looked on menu they don’t do it at cleveleys one or poulton (dam). Deffo a 9/10 fir that one Lee 😅👍
Caz & baz
Top stuff, Lee!
Some 'Spoons are rubbish, others are absolute gems. There's a few in central London that have ornate chandeliers... far from 'wouldn't be seen dead in there!'. If memory serves, I think it's near the banking district.
Can't complain with any of the pricing at Wethies, also his respect for the history of the buildings. With the cost of living getting out of control, he's enabled many to still be able to enjoy a pint outside the house. The food is decent (although, I went off the lamb shank a while back, when I received one cold... that made me think he freezes his meals).
Top review, Lee.
Nb: I bet the curry wasn't that hot! ;)
I like Wetherspoons, can't go wrong. Quality; service and value is very good.
77.7k omg looks amazing , 5 chilli rating , not bad for a spoonz and price thanks lee , xx lov ya
I know someone who works at a Wetherspoon’s and most of their food is microwaved, so it’s pre made and then heated up, that’s why it’s so cheap. That curry is basically a microwave meal.
I have heard the same about a gazzilion (much more expensive) places
Any chance u can avoid large chains and give a 👍 up to small restaurants .
Trams are electric
( controversial ) and were v. popular in Victorian times .
Christy 🇮🇪/🇵🇹 👍
Name some small local restaurants that are value for money and Lee might go !
Coming from a EV owner your tram statement rather confusing 🤣
Bolton had an amazing tram network that was deemed archaic and covered over to make way for the combustion engined vehicles.
Sadly we're part of the Greater Manchester conurbation that's totally covered by the modern tram systems with the exception of our forgotten town.
Elvis juice I think I'll pass on but Doombar at £2-19 a pint , that's a sure win👍
The meal......absolutely spot on mate and what value for money.
It's a solid 10 from me.
That is making me so hungry!! I love vindaloo and that serving that you have in front of you looks smashing.
You did well there Lee, looked nice and I would have said a 9 on the looks.
Love your videos mate, thznkyou for keeping us entertained 😃😃 all the best sir keep up the great work...
Hi lee,I personally thought you did very well clearing your plate!I like my curries pretty hot,I had one of those nagas in chesterfield a few weeks ago and only managed half of it!my Wetherspoons in Ripley,Derby’s have a promotion on at the minute pint of worthingtons smooth for £1.79 a pint!!!the best spoons by far is the one in Buxton,Derby’s a bit more classier.
Well done 👍 lee , that looked so yummy 😋. Take care my friend 🙏
Well done Lee 👏🏼 Knowing how you are with 🔥 🥵 dishes I was impressed you finished it. You mouth must be getting tougher!🤣 very good 👍🏼😊 x
My wife cooked a vindaloo some years ago and I was the only one who ate it all, but it took the skin off my tongue and the roof of my mouth - now that’s what I call HOT. She’s never made it since.
You should have Darren John with you 😉 hahaha 😆 😜
Innit 💯
So right 😄 🤣 😂 😆
Lol the first bite was hilarious
Trams: run on electricity from overhead cables. No batteries to charge. No pollution from exhaust fumes. Runs on rails. No traffic to hold them up so no delays. Probably less maintenance too.
I have come to really love these places. Apart from their great value, they have a good old boozer atmosphere. The only thing you hear is a load of people talking/shouting (no SKY/music etc.). Plus they put on some excellent ale/cider! Great video as always, even if a bit disappointed at your capacity for spice!
Just remember tomorrow, every fart is a gamble.
Our Wetherspoons in Redhill is like an old fashioned pub strangers actually talk to each other. Where else can you go and have a few pints and a big breakfast on a Saturday night, get a seat and order on their app, no queuing etc. A family night out with food no problem go to Reigate you need a mortgage… brilliant!
Your curry challenges have me howling 🤣
There was a pub near us called The Stork at Rest built on the site of an old maternity hospital.
Now thats my kind of meal 👍 looks good
They Call it Vinderloo for a bloody reason mate Pmsl 🤣 🥵🥵🤣🤣👍👍🌶🌶 Xx
I dont mind going into weatherspoons to drink because the pints are cheap and the unlimited coffee deal is great. I rarely go into spoons to eat though. There is a weatherspoons right next door to the University of Exeter and it is a spoons gem. Its rated one of the best spoons in Devon. I think one reason why some people are turned off by weatherspoons is because the owner Tim Martin is notorious for taking some right leaning opinions on things such as Brexit and Covid-19.
Had this a few weeks ago and you can’t beat it for value , tasted great too and a beer of your choice 👍
Must admit though Lee your heat tolerance for spice is getting better 😜🔥
Spoon is brilliant, great value for money, great ambience too
Cannot find fault with that, the price point is excellent around £7 for a vindaloo , naan, rice, 2 poppadoms, chutney & a soft drink, looked good, like a spicy too. By sight 10 .. quality review 👍🏻
Money saving tip : You can get an expensive alcoholic drink with your meal for the same price as a cheaper one. I often order a 660ml bottle of Elvia Juice (normal price around £4.25.). Might as well try and get your moneys worth!
To be fair for less thana £10 spot a pint and a spoons curry its a bargin
Tbf.
Wow, a nice surprise. The Gooseberry Bush was my local when I was at Nottingham Poly 1991 to 1994. Mansfield Bitter was my tipple back then :)
Lee your a legend for eating spicy food I love them too its good on the night out or just for a treat its so nice. I love the curry's at wetherspoons I have garlic nann with a soft drink a pint a diet Pepsi is good with the curries.
Pity Darren John wasn't there enjoying the look on your face eating that vindaloo 🤣🤣🤣 Love it when you 2 are doing curry meals together. 👍👍👍
Interesting spoons 'The Chief Justice' in Keswick in the lakes, former old courthouse and jail with tables in the cells, food was good also
🏴👏 🌶 great review mate, that looked right up my street 🏴👏🌶
Yeah Lee that looked really nice and great value for money...good old Spoons!!
i had a hot curry at spoons in whitby before lockdown on a curry night, advertised at a million scovilles, (cant remember if it was this one or not), but i like my vindaloo's, eaten for the last 40 years more or less weekly in bradford, so i sort of know my stuff, and just thought it was marketing and wouldnt really be too hot, but was really surprised that it was exactly as advertised lol. i enjoyed it, and the wife was initially sceptical like me until i gave her a small taste - priceless, & i'll definately try it again when i get chance - great value.
Brave man for someone who doesn't like things too hot and spicey. Nothing wrong with Wetherspoons if you pick the right one. Who can grumble with Doombar and Guiness and other drinks on draught, as well as the food at those prices. Win Win if you ask me. All the best and hope you were ok the next day if you know what I mean.
I'd make Tim Martin Prime Minister.
Value for money wise Wetherspoons is unbeatable.
In my local town of Wimborne, Dorset it's (The Man in the Wall) always full up and as a "posh" town it's always full of locals.
Toilets always immaculate ( a great way to judge an establishment).
They keep prices down for everyone and Tim is a class act.
Cheers
Phil
I tried this curry a few weeks ago at my local spoons, now I love my curry with a bit of spice, but wow, this blew my head off, so hot, I'll be sticking to the beef Madras in future...😂😂😂
Fair play finishing that!! I know you ain’t keen on spice so smashed it!
I always go chicken tikka masala and that has more of a kick than you would expect, but it's purrrrrr fect!
Very adventurous
Looks a winner mate nice find 👌👍
