I see that Jamie Oliver's opening a place on King St. Who's going to take one for the site and road test it?

March 3rd Citeh - away. Could tie it in. However, the last time me and my mate headed into Manchester with the good intention of catching up over a pre-match nosebag we succumbed to the old "Shall we just try one in here?" and subsequently turned up at O/T absolutely bladdered with not a single jot of nutritional sustenance on board. :oops:

Agreed re Oliver but his restaurants are meant to be good, so no need to cut nose off...

Having said that can't really get past San Carlo when it comes to Italians in Manchester....

A couple of years ago my daughter bought us a voucher for Olivers Fifteen restaurant in that there London. She paid £150 for it but that was nowhere near enough. The meal cost an outrageous £360 for just the two of us. It were bloody good and we made a proper night of it. Great for a one off but I'd never consider doing it again. We had a taster menu with about nine different courses but I can't remember a thing about it because I also had the wine taster menu.

I think this has a mistake in it Clappers; you appear to have written that the meal cost 360 quid for two people...

My bezzy mate took his Mrs to L'enclume for her birthday and did the taster menu. When I asked him how much it came to he replied "Forty Quid more than I spent on my first car!"

No, s'reet, I'm afraid. Quite obscene amount to pay for two meals but,as a one off, it weren't half good.

Best meal you've ever had, Clapton?

I've got a three-way tie going on between Northcote Manor, Andrew Fairlie's place at Gleneagles, and the Hotel Hacienda in San Miguel.

I don't think the Jamie Oliver Italians are as expensive.

But for those saying they wouldn't pay that much, it depends how good it is. That sort of thing is an experience, something you'd only do once.

Got to be into food I guess.

Pasta should be tossed through the sauce or you'll make Torode unhappy!

And I'd not like big lumps in it, needs to be a fine sauce for me.....
