I was in a restaurant and they brought a small horse with a blindfold to the table.. I said “no.. i said mascarpone”
Ffs someone take the crackers off him please
I remember when I was in a London pub last Christmas and I had a pheasant risotto. Half way through the bowl I nearly split a tooth on a piece of shot that I assume was still lodged in a piece of the pheasant. Actually found a couple more pieces in there, too. Waitress didn’t seem too bothered, but then again I think she was only about 16. I wonder if the chef would have been concerned (or if he/she was even told).
ahem, chat host Martin…
having some shot in your pheasant is traditionally a sign of good food. It means that the pheasant hasn’t been bought in Iceland or somewhere. Mind you, if you had that in a pub, some con-merchant chef may have put the shot deliberately into the bird to keep up appearances.
I’ve long learned to keep away from pubs for food, if I can help it. There are good pubfood guides on the web, but I found that they are not that good.
However, when I’m desperate (for food, that is) and there’s nowhere else to eat, I’ve even gone into Macdonald’s for a Horseburger.
All these words. Look for a “grub” pub, or .. fresh meat on bone. I certainly would be pissed off if I paid 17 quid for frozen food, in the same token the only Xmas meets I have been, involved shed loads of alcohol. That’s us “chav class.

I would simply demand that the chef comes out and takes a bite of the food if it was inedible – I have no qualms in creating a fuss – the bigger the better.
The serving staff usually ‘expect’ a tip so i have a simple demand – good, clean honest food (dare i say ‘simple’ ?)
One thing that pisses me off is that the waiters always come around when i have just put a large forkful of food in my mouth and come around and say ‘ is everything ok’ !

So you don’t socialise over dinner with friends & family then?
Friends and family, arc????

have you not seen my festive eating habits in my video of my Christmas meal, as crashed by Cosy???

Tom Kerridge is making himself look ill.
I get a feeling Laines comment was coz of Scep more or less tarring all pubs with the same brush.
Nothing wrong with a Maccys D’s either, they serve a purpose.
