KELLY Ormesher, one of the very most useful people in the world took a trip to Berkshire last weekend.

A nightmare.
Just joking. She adored the place.

We went in July. I don't think I will ever enjoy a better meal than we did there. Amazing!
Sorry but why? I like my food to look like food not like a beach!! I've eaten in great places all over the world, but have never been interested in eating somewhere where the food is overshadowed by the chef!
Disgree vince.
Looks Reem.
Bet it smells reem.
And tastes reem.
It's an experience, innit bruv.
looks unbelievable
We went last Friday. It was totally mind blowing. We had a great G&T on Heston's pub next door which has just got its first Michelin star. The service at the Fat Duck was worth every penny and we had the wine matching, also worth the cost. We probably won't go back as it was a Bucket list visit but would thoroughly recommend it.
Oh god, memories...
Has ManCon become Facebook all of a sudden?
Shortly I will be posting pictures of my meal at Newport Pagnell Motorway Services on the M1...
Yes Poster Boy, because your pictures of Newport Pagnell Motorway Service will be exceptionally interesting. I've heard many people talk about Newport Pagnell Motorway Service, and always wondered what it was like. Can't wait.
Doh. Another with an unerring ability to miss the point. Completely.
I agree, it's not in Manchester. What's next, Noma? Per Se? That's what google is for.
Ian, we believe that part of our job is to help raise the bar of food in the region and one of those is go elsewhere and learn. If we don't as an area do this then we are going to forever whine about not having any Michelin stars.
