Dan The Fat Duck in Bray (Berks) has three as I’ve eaten there many moons ago.
I’m well aware of the Fat Duck in Bray, though not been able to go before.
I hadn’t known though that the reason it has three stars is because you graced it with your presence! Are you an inspector or summat?!
No mate.
Rolf Harris and Parky live nearby.
Along_the_Wire ….absolutely, but for someone from the UK its the only place that resembles a decent UK supermarket. Shame its double the price . Sainsbury’s own brand OJ is 85p……Whole Foods is $3……ridiculous
IndustryStandard Whole Foods is in the UK - it’s stupidly expensive here too. Don’t help yourself to the salad bar…
Can you buy an AK47 at Whole Foods UK?
Along_the_Wire Don’t help yourself to the salad bar…
The salads bar is open during COVID? No wonder the situation is so grave.

Surprised Dave hasn’t posted his tossed salad video yet.

The English excel at taking the food of others and making it great. You don’t get curries, Italian / Chinese / Thai food like you do in the U.K. doner kebabs in Australia were an abomination.
Sorry Benson, I can’t speak for other cuisines but on Chinese you’re definitely wrong.
Only Cantonese and Sichuan cuisine have ever really made it over here. Cantonese because of Hong Kong, Sichuan because the Sichuanese were traditionally dirt poor and migrated out all over the place, in much the same way the southern Italians did.
British people don’t even know about the eight great styles, because they’re only exposed to a sanitised approximation of two of them (maybe three if you count a smattering of Hunanese restaurants in London).
Beijing Imperial Cuisine knocks absolutely any British Chinese food on its arse. Over centuries, the best Chinese chefs and their families and traditions have migrated to the capital, either voluntarily by the capital’s pull, or forcefully by governments and dynasties.
