Tomcat Eats OutThe best restaurant reviews. Mainly by Tomcat but we'll move any well written reviews here too.
As ever, sponsored by the very lovely Chris at Oh My Cod!
Everything was negative and no positive. And I also think people should be careful when slating other peoples businesses. Ajarn has a massive audience and one guys comments could deter others from trying it out. I still dont know why Tomcat didnt give any advice, tips or reccomendations when he was speaking to the owner.
You mean like this review you did of another eaterie in Bangers!
The duke is a crap pub run by 2 guys who dont take care of their regulars. They dont even talk to them. One of the owners just sits at his laptop all the time and the other spends most of his time walking in and out of the front door cos he has nothing else to do. The beer is cheep because they are trying to compete with the 2 irish pubs in that area. There is no atmosphere in there and its like sitting in a barn. They have hired a new Thai 'manageress' (a butch looking lesbian type who i believe got fired from Oreillys) The service is poor and just lately they have cut back on staff drastically because the are apparently losing money hand over fist. The place is full of farangs looking for the cheapest pint and Thais trying to be hi so without having to pay the sort of prices you would normally pay in an English pub here. The manager/owner? that used to be the manager at the Robin Hood hasnt got a clue what he's doing and has the personality of a deaf mute! A classic case of opening a bar and thinking by offering cheap grog that it will be a success. They should head to the xchange/oreillys or any other pub on their night off and maybe pick up a few tips on how to run a pub!! I predict it wont be in business for much longer. Mind you if you like cricket then head down there. Its all their t.v's seem to play.

yes cyrille i did. but he didnt wanna hear them. thats why I posted what I did. Tomcat is of course entitled to his opinion. Just thought it might have helped if he had identified his dislikes to the owner at the time. With his knowledge of moroccan food it might have helped the guy get it right next time.
give the guy tips on how to cook/prepare the food.
lol! maybe he should just buy it altogether huh? jaysus some people just can't take any criticism..

It would be interesting to see how many people actually feel like part of the role of the restaurant diner is to advise the chef regarding to how to do his job better
My experience of chefs (used to be a supplier to some very posh kitchens indeed) is that they don't respond well to any criticism or "advice"

The chef is Thai, the owner does not cook according to the two reviews I have read.
