To be honest , even if I were wildly rich , I don't think that I could bring myself to pay those prices mack . I think that the feeling of being ripped off , would taint the taste of the food for me. I'm all for someone making a decent profit and a good living , but those prices just scream rip off. My stepson worked as a chef at Hugh fearnly wittingstalls restaurant in Bristol, and he's always said that it's the best quality food of any restaurant( and hes worked in some very posh places) that he's ever worked in , and that the prices were sensible. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I am doing a course next week then heading away for a while,but i am going to research that place and will visit it in the future and eat there,you sold me on it. the most memorable meals don’t have to cost the earth,I ate at a Michelin star place which from memory cost me under £20 including a coke.

I like the look of that grub mack . My stepson said that hfw insists that his front of house staff , never tell the kitchen staff when he arrives and eats at his restaurant, so that he gets the same quality of food as the customers. My stepson must be a decent chef , because he can even make vegan food taste amazing . 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
