Scotland's oldest surviving public house.
Established 1360.
Take that, America.
OK...
Why are you making it about America?
Also is that Scottish for 'head'?
Sheep heid.
What happened to your heid?
So we've come to the oldest restaurant.
And pub, apparently
I think the word restaurant originates in the 1700s.
So this restaurant is over 500 years older than the word restaurant.
Than the concept of restaurants.
This is like where the Hobbits came to get some food in the morning.
Very offensive.
Why?
What are you talking about?
To all Scottish people.
Are you saying they're Hobbits or Orcs?
Let's go.
And we step back in time.
Josh the sheep's 'heed'
There's some more 'heeds'
Heed, the 'heed'!
They loved it.
Skittles alley?!
Have you got any tips?
- This side? - Don't go on this side?
Yes.
Tip observed.
Dagnabbit!
Three, two, one.
Yes! No!
Four left remaining.
Six down.
Dammit!
Victory!
And you're on the wonky lane!
Scottish restaurants are way more fun than English restaurants.
Cheers.
First up, baked camembert.
What the heck is this?
Is this Chutney?
I think that's 500-year old baked beans.
You think it goes with the cheese?
Let's give it a go.
Wow.
Quite an intense taste.
You took a lot of it.
It's like Scottish pickle.
This is good.
I mean, it was weird coming here, right?
Because you just drive like down this cobbled street.
And then suddenly there's a massive sign saying, 'Sheep's Heid Inn'.
This isn't a major tourist spot.
This is just like a pub come to by the locals.
They've been coming here for the last 700 years.
- Is this the rules, Josh?
- What, to Skittles?
Are you allowed to just take that off the wall?
You just took that off so confidently.
That might be a 200 year old flippin' rule book.
Skittles rules.
OK, you ready?
I'm so glad that was Adam.
"Players must commence their throw with one foot touching the backboard.
The deployment of the ball is double-handed. By launching your body onto the alley
and releasing the ball at full stretch towards the pins"
Wait.
What?
Oh, my gosh.
Is that actually how you're supposed to do it?
Ow!
Are you sure that's how you're supposed to be doing it?
Traditional, double-handed?
I cannot imagine people in the 1300s doing this.
Ow, my shoulders.
Oh, my gosh!
What?!
- Holy crap!
- Happy with that!
That'll do!
We got better very quickly at this.
Oh yeah,
See this,
this is what British food needs to look like.
And you know it's good, because it's got a child's saucepan.
It's got a baby saucepan!
Full of gravy.
We've got a traditional British meat pie, chicken and bacon,
And pork belly roast with scallops.
I didn't know that was a thing.
I think it's amazing that all of this,
the plates, the meat, the food, the vegetables,
- it's all 700 years old.
- You're an idiot.
That's not how this works.
What is a scallop, by the way?
Does anyone know?
Yeah, it's a shellfish.
It's a fish?
It's a shellfish.
I thought it was like a small onion.
No, that's a sha... is it
A sha-llot?
That's a shallot.
That's confusing, right?
It comes on a shell like a clam or something.
That's a tasty onion.
Yeah, OK.
You're an idiot.
Considering the chef is 700 years old,
Stop.
This is amazing.
You'd think he would be basking in his Guinness World Record
for the oldest man alive,
that presumably he's awarded every year
because no one can believe he's still alive.
But instead, he chooses to be a chef at the 'Ship's Heed'.
Sheep’s Heid.
This is a classic hearty meal, you know?
You can imagine, 700 years ago when the chef first started here
- You can’t cut it now.
You can’t cut it.
- Literally.
You’ve said it enough times.
- This probably is actually the sort of food they were eating
-And the thing is, people were smaller then, so
- Oh, you’re an idiot.
- So these were the pots that they used
On a serious note though, if you come to the UK
and you’re like ‘what food should I try?’ and you’ve seen our videos on fish and chips,
maybe you’re not that impressed - Get a pie
- Luke’s gonna be sitting at home editing this, saying
‘there’s nothing better than a soggy chip!’
- Editor Luke has the worst food taste of anyone
- You just put that in to annoy him - If it’s still in, you’ll know that I
snuck in before the export
I’m just gonna self-five myself
Shall we order a sticky toffee pudding for dessert?
- This is one of my first recommendations for anyone coming to the UK
- I would say get sticky toffee pudding over fish and chips, if you come to the UK
Again, props to the 700-year old chef who came up with this.
I wonder how old this is.
- Google it!
- Googling it!
“Two Men Google Facts in a Bowling Alley”.
That’s the title of this video.
Turns out it’s actually not that old.
It was made in the 1900s.
You know what is really old?
Bread pudding.
It tastes better than it sounds.
Like, bread…pudding… are not two words you would think would work
well together.
- I mean, it’s on brand, when it comes to British cuisine
- The history of it has been traced back to the early 11th and 12th centuries.
- That’s old.
That’s older than this pub. - 11th century…that’s before the chef
was born
- You’re an idiot.
- Or maybe he was raised on it, Maybe he had like a two hundred year-old childhood
- So he was raised on bread pudding - No, no.
Ok.
- When bread pudding was just released - Ok
- So all the hype-beasts were talking about it
- Shut up
- It was an exclusive limited edition colab between bread and milk
- and pudding, surely pudding was in the colab.
Bread and pudding.
- I missed that open goal - You missed the punchline of your own joke
- Wow we polished that off really quickly
- Holy crap, that was insanely good.
- Really good.
An old-school pub sticky toffee pudding.
Is there anything better?
The thing is, it’s quite cold in here, which you can probably tell from the attire.
That’s why I’m dressed, not as the Sheep’s Heid,
but as the sheep’s bod-ee
-And a nice warming pudding -Yeah.
Yeah.
Best thing in the British winter.
Scottish winter.
Cheers!
Alright, we need to get back to skittles.
-Let’s do this!
-Alright, let’s do it
Skittles on!
And guys…
See you Jolly soon!
We’re too excited.
Let’s do this!
