Leeds' Peter Kay lookalike's hilarious skit after driving 60 miles across Yorkshire to try 'amazing' takeaway

A Leeds man who has been dubbed a Peter Kay lookalike made a trip to Hull to check out their delicacies - with hilarious results.

Danny Malin, described by Hull Live as a charismatic Northern food enthusiast, is known as the host of social media platform Rate My Takeaway, and he delivered his verdict on gyros from Grekos in Trinity Market in Hull last week.

In the eight minute video posted on Rate My Takeaway’s Facebook page, Mr Malin explains how he is driving 60 miles north east because Grekos serves "the best gyros".

Danny jokingly said: "Not giros from Job Centre, gyros stuffed full of meat, salad, cheese, all sorts of gear.

"So 'Ull, here we come, we are on the way to 'Ull for a gyros from Greko - ba bum, let's have you."

Danny, who was the star of one of the most Yorkshire videos we had ever seen, had driven along the M62, on to the A63 and past the Humber Bridge before parking up his car close to Trinity Market in the city centre.

Although he is only next to the minister in Hull, a short walk way from the market, he said: "my God, I've nearly lost a stone walking here - watch your step, cobbly roads".

The queue is long and Danny remarks how much the food smells good and how he cannot wait for his meal.

Danny orders a chicken gyros, halloumi fries and a fizzy orange drink.

"It all looks absolutely amazing - let's go sit down now and tuck into this bad boy," he says when his meal is served and then opens up the gyros when sat down to examine the contents and tucks in.

"Let's just get messy with it, let's have a go and let's eat it how it's supposed to be eaten.

"You know sommet [something], that's not bad, that. The bread is nice and soft, the chicken has got a nice flavour to it and nice bit of sauce.

"Let's move on to these halloumi fries. Look at this, nice big stringy cheese. They're alright them, with a nice bit of chilli sauce. Really nice flavour to them.

"This dinner here today cost me £11. Is it worth £11? I quite like this street food in the market.

"My rating for this today is a solid eight for a nice bit of street food.

"This is the kind of takeaway you want, when you're in a rush and out shopping, grab one of these, quick munch, off home.

"Beautiful."
