Format[]

Malin begins each show with the greeting "Now then guys, how are you doin'? Back on the road again!" He then announces the city and takeaway shop he will be visiting, with his "cameraman" filming the journey. Upon arrival, Malin takes a folding table and folding chair from the boot of his car and proceeds to the shop. After engaging with the counter staff, he will order several courses then set up his table and chair outside the shop.[2] When the meal arrives, he will taste and comment on each course. Finally he rates the takeaway, with a comment like "If I'm honest wi' yer, it's a solid nine from me".[3]

Businesses have reported a surge in business following a review by Malin.[4][5]

As Malin's popularity has increased, his reviews are often interrupted by fans seeking a chat or a selfie.[6][7]

Malin was born in Barnsley. He now resides in Leeds, West Yorkshire, where he works at a butcher's shop in Kirkgate Market.[8] His longtime partner Carrie Taylor died suddenly of a heart attack in February 2021. He has six children.[9]
