I clicked on "standard" hoping it would make sense... oh.

It's a place we thought of going when we lived in Notts. The we tried to use the site and thought 'fk that'.

Style over substance doesn't begin to describe it. Pretentious wkers.

The OH works in the internet industry, he fking hates that site.

Sums up the man himself, a friend complained that a starter was cold, he came out and said she didn't understand food.

He comes across a pretentious knobhead in everything he does.

As for the site, jesus what a mess.

Check out "Carpark" - if that wasn't ridiculous in its own right.

Audi R8? Check. Disco? Check. R32? Check. Crappy Astra Estate with the door open? Check.

Who took that fking picture.........

ETA - I've just looked at the tasting menu.

Good grief, a canape named after a st postcode.

its embarrassing, he's clearly blowing smoke up his own arse

[Bullett]

Food is bloody marvelous though.
Best wine/food matching I've ever experienced.
And he seemed lovely, had a chat after we'd eaten.

Website is still toss though.

Had a personal plate that was 'CHEF' or similar on a Golf R/RS3 type car (it was a while ago).

Similar to our experience. Food was mediocre at best and service was slow/disinterested.

Overall was sufficiently bad that we had the service charge removed (only time I have ever felt the need to do that), and their response to us renders it an establishment to which I shall never return.

It’s a mystery to me how the place gets positive reviews.

“Cancellation policy” as a main menu item. Lovely.....

[Fun Bus]

Cancellation policies aren’t unusual with Michelin starred restaurants.

I know... but usually they are a little more discrete. Comes across a bit passive aggressive to have it slap bang on the main menu IMO.

Went with my wife a few years ago and it was absolutely brilliant. Fantastic meal and Sat (who was working in the kitchen unlike a lot of chefs with their name above the door) was charm itself, great fun and very helpful.

Introduction
‘NG7 2SA’

‘NG7 2SA’ has been a dish on his menu for years - it changes though and I’ve had 3 variants of it I think now.

The reason for the name? All of the ingredients are foraged from the banks of the River Trent at the back of his restaurant. NG7 2SA being The restaurants postcode.

The R8 went a while ago. He’s got a Range Rover Sport SVR now.

[Fun Bus]

Wow. A postcode determines where you want a decent meal? That’s a whole new level of Pistonheads.

[Sarkmeister]

We went a few years ago, and the meal (10 courses I think) was stunning. Sat took the time to come out and meet us as it was my birthday. He came across as really genuine.

Website isnt great though
