This behaviour beggars belief, and although extreme, it really highlights the day to day issues hospitality has to deal with, and women in hospitality in particular. How are we supposed to promote this as a viable career option when facing this sort of shit-fight so often.
A grown man who threw a hissy fit & walked out of our restaurant when a young girl half his age requested his rowdy group “keep the noise down a bit” has sent me a gift box containing “essentials” for dealing with hissy fits 🤷🏻‍♂️ The contents are really quite weird.

Our entire industry is in mourning. I will never forget the first time I went to Polpo and how it totally changed my perspective and understanding of restaurants. Thank you Russell Norman, for everything.

I had forgotten how brilliant David Tennant was as Hamlet, thank you BBC Four. Even if he is a bit of a mopey bastard (Hamlet, not Tennant).

Full a la carte trial this month! We are recognising a change in spending habits and giving you the flexibility to have 1 course or 4. We’ve not done this since covid, I believe our great food should be open and accessible to everyone whether it’s a light lunch or a celebration.
New dishes! Chestnut and ricotta Gnudi, summer squash & cobnut pesto, flamed mackerel, ajo blanco & salt baked beetroot. We are also trialling a return to a la carte menu this month, giving more flexibility and choice outside of fixed price. Let us know how you feel about it!

A slightly surreal feeling seeing my recipes replicated from a book, but Karen has absolutely smashed these Manchester eggs. Incredible execution. The kind of high standards we expect of each other here in the kitchen, amazing work.
@Lukepayne92 First attempt at #manchesteregg. I haven’t tried it @PackHorseHay but I’m reliably informed that it’s pretty good!!!

31 today & 10 years since my first shift washing pots. A week before, I sent this photo of my home cooking to @GordonRamsay begging him for a job. Nothing came of it. 10 years later, self taught, running my own pub in the Michelin guide and top 50 gastropubs. Gordon, come visit.

It’s only level 2, but I got my WSET results back today and passed with a distinction of 98%, which makes me very proud indeed.
