just warming up for representing amy
hey i'm jesse and i'm will and together
we are top jaw this weekend we were
meant to be in lisbon
but such as the world is at the moment
the quarantine lords were looking a
little bit
sketchy so we decided last minute to
scrap that plan
not take our flight and do a staycation
in the uk instead we left london
absolutely no plan just headed west pick
up the instagram followers
this whole trip was built on your
recommendations so thank you for making
it a killer one subscribe
if you're feeling nice
oh that's a combination of fresh air
autumn wind and a bit of bonfire
and it smells oh god that's a naughty
sky isn't it
well let's go let's go over there to the
sky
yeah let's get a bit closer will got on
instagram in the car
was bashing away
so we've arrived it's about eight
o'clock got a nice little dinner
reservation
very excited a couple of pails for the
males and uh
got a twin room for tonight smashed it
it's a double actually mate
we're bunking up
just in cases mate just in cases
gospel's ipa that's fantastic got our
laptops out because we've got a
we've got to plan the rest in a few days
the uk is our oyster wheel
we've got these two heaters absolute
vladimir booting off
definitely worse places to plan a little
trip the food here is classic british
you look at the menu and go yeah that
looks like a traditional
sort of british pub but this place is
like the best
of that type of food welsh red normally
welsh rare bit is like cheese on toast
but this is obviously a little bit of a
dippy whippy number
oh go on then oh yeah go on glorifying
lamb scrump it beautiful salty croquette
of loud little log of love little log of
love doesn't normally like lamb but he's
actually in for this one
mate it is so naughty isn't it yes
wheel of fortune that's beyond delicious
pork
chicken milanese triple cooked chips get
stuck in buddy
well they've both got baby stick on them
i've gone for lemon tart
will's gone for the chocolate nemesis
what makes it his nemesis i don't know
maybe it's because he might not be able
to finish it we actually never really
like it when we start
film going straight into the evening
it's always much better
when we start it in the morning
much better
[Music]
we had a good sleep on our way to bath
shortly in about half an hour
today's gonna be a cool call
bloody tractor on our drive we thought
we'd stop off at the very picturesque
proper postcard territory town called
burford
they call this the gateway to the
cotswolds because it's the first town
you reach when you're driving out from
london towards the cotswolds you can get
your telescopes over there
you can get your fly fishing equipment
we're not here for that
we're here to get a little coffee
not from there from linwood and coke
cafe
set up by an australian guy whose mum
has a cafe
in australia called linwood and then
there were three mates
picked up pickles a pickle is our dear
mate went to school with will
one of will's ushers let's go
we've pulled over at one of the most
glamorous roadside stops in the uk
molly's diner other than gloucester
services other than gossip services i've
never been to but will does
tell me it's very very high-end yeah
mate it's like dalesford meets
teletubbies
from the guys behind sewer house serving
up all the sew house classics
like your dirty burgers your rotisserie
chicken but we're not here for that
we're here because pickles designed as
very very slick breakfast
some waffles maple syrup some chicken
bites a big fat oreo milkshake
these aren't dishes that are usually
served together this is a little pickle
custom special don't understand why it's
not on the menu so i thought just
that's delicious especially the barbecue
sauce as well as maple syrup
a little party year six disco having a
dance thanks
molly's diner we don't know who molly is
but we know she serves up some nice
chicken and waffles
as this wasn't a planned stop but we
drove over a privately owned bridge a
pair of pounds go over it and then we
saw a pub
a little river and we thought that looks
like guinness time right there
and guinness time it was next stop bar
next stop but i feel like we've been
saying that for a very long time we just
keep getting distracted but that is a
road trip isn't it
you know it's not about the destination
it's all about the journey
after many a stop we have touched down
in bath
a bit cloudy but the building's still
lovely we're quite hungry it's about
four o'clock
so we're going to head to bath pizza
coat in an old train station
that looks immense
[Music]
last train left here in 1966 very easy
to remember because of
world cup obviously if you deal with
this place you see many pictures of huge
crowds
bands playing right here where we stand
now but we're here for some great beers
and some even better pizzas cheers
[Music]
the canary gin bar still haven't really
found out why it's called canary but i
have found out
they serve over 250 gins here which i
would say is
too many if you're not a gin person they
do have beers
they do have whiskeys they probably will
judge you if you order one yeah nice
i mean i do like a gin and tonic
probably not that good for those that
don't like your toilets however
250 gins can't complain of that
decor was a little bit strange
pintos spanish tapas bar inspired by the
little snack bars in san sebastian
they're also sherry specialists right
they import all their ingredients and
their drinks in spain sherry we were
like oh
we didn't really know about sherry and
like tapas and stuff apparently
sherry is like a real southern spain
thing we've got our chorizo
croquettes we've got their gambas nice
butterfly prawns and
sauce tatas bravas dates with
ham and goat cheese little lollipops
we've got fried squid some aioli
crack on boys it's just all the greatest
hits in it this place
down the hatch oh that is lush
that is real he is nice nip pinterest
fantastic okay so we want to make a top
drawer
product we went to instagram asked
everyone what we should make and the two
top things were
a travel bag like a pouch to take your
travels
maybe when you're doing some top drawer
guides or
a top door t-shirt what do you think we
should make
let us know in the comments we're going
to do it tank is very full
like i can feel yeah like i feel dense
like if you threw him in the sea i'd go
straight to the bottom
i'll always float but next is corkage
for a bottle of red
red time
so final dinner reservation of the
evening we think
corkage now we're going to try not eat
food because
we're full wow we could have a bottle of
red that's like a
meal no absolute given yeah yeah there's
two caucasus
the original one on walton street super
intimate super small
they only opened this space to appease
the locals they were turning away up to
a thousand people a day of the smaller
one
they needed a bigger space fine dining
without the
fine just beautiful food in a casual
setting oh
really yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yes
yeah yeah yeah
so this is exactly what top door's about
we've been sitting here for about two
hours
shooting with these two legends if you
come to bart
and you do not come to this place
to corkage then you didn't come to bath
at all
and that was dark horse some of the
strongest
yet still very delicious cocktails we've
ever had
you agree well hell yeah it's now day
three technically
the sun is out it's time for coffee to
explore
bath
[Music]
okay we didn't actually realize we're
coming right back
to corkage where we were last night with
the most amazing time there
with marty and richard i've had four
hours sleep feeling a bit weathered
now it's time for speciality coffee
presuming they're very special
[Music]
owned by an award-winning barista this
coffee shop themselves won best coffee
shop in europe in 2018.
they've got a board with different types
of coffee and the flavor profiles with
and without milk
i've gone for peruvian will's gone for a
kenyan you've gone for
colombian i think pickle so i'm very
excited
[Music]
how much more amazing does bath look
when the blue skies are out
the sun's hitting the bath stone
buildings you can see why
millions of people come in every year
this is land race they do a killer bacon
sandwich
they do sausage rolls loaves have a
little short menu that changes every day
depending on what they've got in
and the mood of the bakers this place
ordinarily was a cafe
during lockdown they adjusted turned
themselves into a deli
italian uk produce super short supply
chain
super fresh those morning buns are
winking at me
so this is what we ordered we've got
morning bun that looks majestic isn't it
eccles cake and they also kindly brought
us sexy our sausage roll
with their own homemade rhubarb ketchup
and a chicken bun with like coronation
chicken tacos very sexy onion in there
like
bright onions the oniony looks lovely
and saucy but i can't have raw onion and
there's quite a lot of variety in there
absolutely go in he's committed actually
really fresh
this is the royal crescent in bath it is
a sweeping crescent of about 30 houses
some of the best georgian architecture
in the uk and an absolute iconic spot
all houses here built in the 1800s
standing proud
until the world war when the two and
seven got dealt with
can we pop onwards jess orwen's bro
what 20 miles is it yeah
one thing you've noticed about brewton
is that the door game is
high-end so many beautiful little pretty
doors including
this one right here but this isn't any
doorway this is the doorway
to one of the most exciting new
restaurants
in the uk awesome
run by a michelin star chef from london
he's moved out here
he's trying to find a space wants to be
about within two hours of london
settled on this quaint little joint here
three courses or six courses that is
your choice
and the menu changes pretty much daily
people bringing their produce go here
you go
get some plums do something with that
talk your plums
in this week's harvest for kieran's
dad's plums
stuffed charred leaves pig's head in a
sturgeon leaves
all in one dracula
amazing it's a different flavor than
you'd expect that's beautiful
the fruitiness from the black currants
nutty almond mousse
that's lovely orange one they gave us
some beetroot sweets they've made
turns out it gives you quite a teletubby
tongue that meal was as delicious
as it was innovative but now i think we
need to
walk it off world don't you think have a
little explore around the town
[Music]
super excited about this place this is
at the chapel
really contemporary for somewhere so
rural
but i think the contrast
is quite amazing
a couple from london moved down about 15
years ago bought this place
an old 17th century chapel it was like a
little bit
defunct they spent three years living
here whilst doing
up dug out the basement found a well got
a lovely little terrace out the back
and they're serving amazing pizzas and a
huge pizza robin
that was made from rubble they dug up
from downstairs
chorizo bit of basil mozzarella
everyone goes you've got to go to the
chapel you've got to have a cocktail
so will's gone with tony's margarita
pickles gone from manhattan
and this guy's gone for sparkling water
and double espresso because
i've got to drive that car wow
okay i think our little um bruton stop
is now done but we will be back we will
absolutely loved it it's time to now
ditch the car get to the house where
we're staying
maybe do that bit first then ditch the
car
and then off to summerton for our
evening rendezvous
[Music]
so will has absolutely pulled it out of
the bag well i haven't made okay rules
mate bert's pulled out the bag
so we're staying at bert's house while
he's away on holiday
incredible little spot really close to
where we were however
it's right on the edge of the
glastonbury site these guys run
camp kerala which is a luxury camping
experience for those attending that's
what user best for
incredibly high end like to a ridiculous
level
will give them an explanation show that
[Music]
real
[Music]
right next stop for dinner of course
more meals is 28 marketplace
we're waiting for our cab it's 15
minutes late a little bit nerve-wracking
[Music]
we've come to summerton a place that
will i be walking around
and finding unnervingly perfect like a
film set
truman show glitch in the matrix
everything just looks too nice it's too
clean
it's amazing but we've come here to go
to 28 marketplace
a new restaurant just opened in january
this year that bert
and others have highly recommended
this is 28 marketplace
[Music]
so pick what we ordered mate i've
actually gone for
uh three starters and three mains all
different so we get a nice spread
there's only four dishes on each section
so four starters four mains that's what
we've got
the veggies
two happy boys it's simple but in a way
that you're never ever going to recreate
yourself ever but the quality of the
ingredients
fresh ingredients perfectly cooked
wonderfully ensembles nectarine
cheesecake with milk ice cream
jasmine foam here we've got the little
almond mandolins made on site
just like everything else and then we
have a parfait
with plums meringue and a cherry plums
this time
yeah jezz don't smell it
smell it the wash of shiver that goes
down your tits you've got a little cray
frost germ
oh it's australia it was very very nice
that was good have a nice evening it's
giving us some croissants for our
breakfast tomorrow which will go down
a right tree on top of everything else
that we've been eating this weekend
[Music]
our final day and we've woken up in this
heavenly heavenly placed
we're in glastonbury hilton area thanks
to jen
burt and the family again for letting us
stay in your wonderful home last night
now onto our final stop of this trip
we're at the pitcher
postcard bath arms we're in longleat
estate so people come here
all weekend walk chill explore
and eat some incredible pub
food
maybe you enjoyed the trip i've loved
the trip i'm so sad it's coming to an
end although
this sort of the way we're hitting it
isn't exactly sustainable
we're at the bath arms because it's a
recommendation of ed's bigger fed
very talented photographer with his
lovely long head wizzler
the food in this trip has been
consistently extremely good
and the bath arms is just the perfect
way to finish this
we've got chili lime fish cake artichoke
puree shea fennel
yeah this is not any normal pub no no
this is illegal in it yeah yeah yes
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
yes i'm going to finish our desserts and
then go for a little walk around lonely
to stay
that's it that's the end of the trip we
