the greek

Hi there everyone out there in foodie land. I generally don`t like to interfere with people`s opinions of my restaurant as it is all a subjective opinion. But I think I should just raise a point about this latest review. Mr Goodfellow arrived at our restaurant, taken to his table and was brought his amuse bouche and immediately put held up his recorder to the waitress, and asked the young Czech girl to repeat the nibbles she of course did , but thought it rather strange and uncomfortable that he was recording, after the nibbles were served the same thing occurred with the Amuse bouche. Both of our waitresses felt offended that they were being recorded, and so My wife took the starters to the table and asked him politely not to record what was being said for the above reason. It was then Mr Goodfellow started to act like a child with his toy taken away, saying he had eaten in much bigger places than ours and nobody had ever said this to him before. That he was writing a blog and didn`t want to miss anything. He very obligingly, but I expect rather begrudgingly, stopped recording but continued to seethe. I expect the waitresses or my wife wouldn`t have minded if they had politely been asked if they could be recorded, but they weren`t, this might have led to an unfriendly service. We do not mind people getting their Cameras out in the restaurant at all, in fact it rather flatters us. I am sure that the incident with the recorder has helped with this wonderful review!!!!! A fact that he appears to have omitted. He left after 2 courses stomping out of the restaurant leaving his wife behind for Helen to collect her coat, again rather impolite/ embarrassing to his wife. I don`t want a protracted slagging match here. I just wanted to say my piece. To view the other side. Thank you for listening. Back to my hols!!!!

Does that mean they will get some professional judges?!!!!!

Sunbeam Did you contact your doctor? Did you supply a stool sample? Did you contact your local EHO? "I feel someone should be given a hard time" What did YOU have for lunch or dinner previously?

Does anyone know what the production company is, that is doing the show?

After watching the celeb X factor last night, I can truly see where JCN's real talent is !!!

Erica, Blow, Trumpet What about 5 North Stret in Winchcombe, Great Restaurant, sure you just forgot to mention it! Or Russels in The Broadway. Both picturesque villages with things to do.

It was Clive Dixon who gained the Micelin Star for LOTM. John Campbell retained it when Clive left. Then when John left the Lords he retained Billy Reids Michelin star at The Vinyard, and Toby Hill retained the Lords star for a while! I think the current chef Les Rennie deserves one, very competent cooking.

Yes, utter tosh!! Water, never

Did mention stock, Chicken stock. Think it should be lamb though. :

A little cep of impeccable character tells me that LCS is to reopen on tues 9 August.

Tonka bean has a flavour of a cross between vanilla and bitter almonds. To help release the flavour you should dry roast it first.
