Answer

He is saying "pootling". Pootling is a british word for doing something in a leisurely way.

Answer

He says 'poodling'. It's a kind of slang word, not used by many people nowadays but it is a word that Rick Stein uses pretty frequently. It means 'wandering around', just looking around a place with no sense of urgency.
