Desperate Gimmicks

[Laibach]

Tony Tobin's Post restaurant in Surrey has come up with a couple of truly deperate ideas for an evening's "entertainment".

Can things be really THAT bad? Ready Steady Cook, annoying singers from a TV ad or stay at home to make sure the paint dries evenly?

What's the worst idea any of you have seen?

The words 'fully booked' say it all.

This kind of entertainment is not for me, but I say let people have what they want if they enjoy it.

The restaurants are backed by the owner of sheila's wheels hence their appearance i would have thought. He also started direct line, hence he can afford to throw a few pounds at his local restaurant.

A quote from the Tony's Tips section of the site says a lot:

"People often ask me for tips to help make their dishes 'extra special'. One of my favourites is simply to go for height."

Have you seen the wealth of information on the Take Away link? And the bacon in the Vegetarian Menu??

also the coffee board signs outside the dining room i Reigate says it all!!!

Worst idea is to have all your christmas menus still up at the end of February!! Or perhaps they are trying to be really organised for this year.....

although talking of entertainment in restaurants they do have live music regularly at bibis in leeds which is one of the UK's highest grossing restaurants, quite why they do it thought is another matter as it is perpetually busy anyway.

Wonder if Sheila's Wheels offer third party insurance for any restaurant promotions that do more harm than good?

Oh.My.God I've been to the Dining Room a couple of times, though not recently - pretentious, dull food, and patronising service. I heard Kate Moss took her mum there recently and got really fed up of the fawning.
