TikTok star Big John lives up to his reputation after he's spotted in popular Manchester Chinese restaurant

If you have ever found yourself scrolling through FoodTok, chances are you’ve come across popular foodie Big John, better known on the social media platform as @boschtokk. Big John takes pride in ordering massive amounts of Chinese food and is famous for his signature catchphrase - ‘Bosh!’

Big John Fisher is the dad of professional boxer Johnny Fisher and was even a boxer himself back in the day before he took to TikTok and became notorious for his love of Chinese food.

He made the trip to the north on Thursday (April 20) from Romford, east London, to chow down in Chinatown. The TikToker dined out in Happy Seasons - a popular Chinese restaurant and takeaway much loved by Mancs.

John lived up to his reputation by ordering a whopping nine dishes in the Manchester restaurant, which included fried monkfish and bean curd, sweet and sour king prawns, triple roast meats, salt and pepper pork chops, tender beef brisket, soft noodles, egg fried rice, and stir-fried veg and pork.

But that’s not all, as he also tucked into Har Gow and Siu Mai dumplings stuffed with pork and prawns. The restaurant were delighted that John chose to dine with them and even posted his arrival on their social media accounts.

John posed for a picture with the restaurant owner which was posted on their Instagram page, captioned: “Had the pleasure of serving @itsbigjohn1 Thank you for coming up north and stopping by china town John, we hope you’ve enjoyed the food.”

They also shared videos of John digging into his many meals while John recorded what will presumably be another video for his channel.

While he currently has around 70k followers, John’s previous account @Willbatross got banned at 400k. His other TikTok account johnfisher2801 boasts almost 200k followers and his Instagram pages also accumulate hundreds of thousands of followers.
