A PM to Madame RH33 will help you out on that score. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Just now, The Naitch said: I’m on the first of 6 days off and thought I had it good. I finish in ~90 minutes, and start again on the 9th. Took some extra days in January. Went a bit strict with the out of office. Instead of my usual "Not checking emails, will reply when I get back", I went with "Not checking emails. If it's important, contact me again when I am back". Hate coming back to a pile of shite. I'll just delete the lot when I return. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If any of our guys on call don't answer the phone, the company who man our out of hours follow an escalation process, I've managed to talk one of the co-ordinators and the head sales boy into being one of the people they phone...... and I've sweet talked 3 subbies into covering between xmas and new year in the Aberdeen area...... so fingers crossed, shouldn't get bothered at all!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnydun Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Attempt 2... He did this one at School in front of his chef mentor. Added a bit of crispy skin, placed the cabbage under some duck and made the fondant potatoes larger, cooked them in the duck fat. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks excellent but I'm going to be honest (and this goes for all posh restaurant food), I would be assuming that was just a starter and be wondering what the main course was. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomas Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Poured a whisky out an unmarked decanter and it tastes beautiful. I know this sounds wanky but there is something about pouring a drink out a decanter that elevates it even if it's shite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
