This evening I shall be dining in back in time in Chelmsford. Not been there for at least 30 years and according to the web site, it looks exactly the same. Can’t imagine the menu has changed either

    Along_the_Wire nowhere, Essex is largely shit

    Yes I’m aware it’s largely shit, but “the Hakkasan of Essex” would still have to be somewhere in Essex.

    “The finest Chinese chefs in the land” couldn’t create “the Hakkasan of Essex” in Devon, for instance.

      alistair live in Teddington and work in London. London has great restaurants.

      I lived in Chelmsford for a little over ten years and have been back many times - I can tell you something for free, it’s fucking shit.

        Off to Smokestak now, but booked the Hakkasan of Essex tomorrow. Looking forward to both

          Lol!

          It’s excellent, you will love it.

            Along_the_Wire I’m aware of what the joke you were aiming for was, but don’t blame me for your phrasing it incorrectly.

            Smallman1 been many a time and can report it’s still fucking quality
