Malin attended the takeaway and sat outside as the staff brought him a portion of their famous fish and chips, as well as a spam fritter, gravy and mushy peas to try.

In the video, the takeaway connoisseur said:

"I think I have stumbled upon another little gem hidden away on another little side street- the chips are absolutely gorgeous.

If you've not been, come try it out, it's beautiful fish and chips it really is.

Everything [at Drakes] comes together well, so for me it's a bang on ten."
