A waste of time
Overrated, overpriced and a total rip off - a real case of the Emperor's new clothes. On the day we went, one main course was a plate of butter beans - for £20! Where is the value in that? And yes, that's all there was on the plate.
Lord knows how Jamie Oliver emerged from this one - packed with suits, really arrogant and obnoxious service and just a ghastly experience.
Thanks, it's this kind of feedback that has always put me off trying it. I have come across people who have been there and really enjoyed it and some who have had, as you did, a very poor experience. There doesn't seem to be any grey areas, it's either love or hate it.
