Grant on Fuck off Smallman @ the Dorchester
The staff at this place should really lay off my ol’ mucka Ed; he’s not a monumental cunt, honest guv! The food, or at least what I remember of it, was also dogshit. But I didn’t care as the wine was inexpensive and plentiful. After polishing off two bottles of rouge I’d almost managed to drown out the misery of my existence. Combined with the BSPF pounding out the speakers I felt nearly compelled to leap on to the table and bust some moves, but the rip-roaring tempo of 128bpm made me think twice. Extra star awarded cos I lamped one of the waiters on the way out for speaking bad about me boy and they didn’t call the cops. 4 out of 5
Hugo, when’s your birthday?
I’m buying you a 10 class Bants School package.
mono-stereo I think you mean a solid 7 our of 10.
Despite having been told to fuck off, Smallman will rate it 10/10 in the national press.
natch
Went here for a Kebab last night.

mono-stereo Love bodrum kebab. Had kebab meat / chips / cheese from Hassans on Broad Street on Monday night. Damn tasty it was too
Going here tonight en famille. Hardly Chelmsford fine dining but the pizzas are delicious and the staff are friendly

alistair great place that. Shame it’s in a shit location
alistair Looks horrific from the outside. Hopefully keeps out the type of vacuous whopper that lives on Jay Rayner’s every utterance
alistair Fleece afterwards…

benson Great stuff. Can’t beat it after a few jars.
Ate at one of those Brazillian bbq places yesterday where they bring endless meat on skewers to your table. All washed down with a Malbec. Ace.
Millsy Living the dream @ Ben Brasil Millsy?
Mad_Cyril lol. In the words of the great Loleatta, its what’s inside that counts 😉
RichM I’ve never been much of a fan sitting in some posh restaurant. I’ve always felt out of place!!
I know what you mean. Nothing worse then snotty service. In my experience proper high end places make you feel at home, or should do assuming they have an experienced matradee.
bosstrabs Great idea for a restaurant. Investors needed… Restaurant in a trendy part of London. Whole place done out with recycled kitchen sinks. Degustation menu consists of things like chicken dippers with broccoli puree. Just as the first dish is served your table are given iPods (a la Heston Blumenthal) and the opening bars of Trisco barrels in with an “OLB is in the house!” voiceover. Then you see joint owner OLB working the room in his Billionaire Boys Club gear, suaving the treacles.

Now that’s my kind of place. Area looks beautiful to boot. Seems like a nightmare to get to, mind.
