@EvacTony This is a bunch of kids doing a stupid tik tok grime video.. not a gang… Agreed no one should have to walk the streets afraid but not sure a relevant example here

My Son has never been in trouble, to be honest he's a bit too square, wish hed be a little more jack the lad as I was. Hes not, he's just hard working, diligent, honest and determined to do well in life which he will. It breaks my heart that as he walks back from work, through Nottingham on an evening he has to walk through crowds of this, he shouldn't have to, and me and his Mother shouldn't have to worry as we do.

@AlexReilley1 Totally agree.. performative & full of crap. People don’t go out later on the whole as well… they don’t care about this industry

I don’t know of a SINGLE hospitality business that would like to stay open beyond the hours they are currently licensed for. This clueless Govt are desperate to throw up these nonsense smokescreens in an attempt to demonstrate they are helping the sector & boosting the economy.

@SussexWineProd @jamieoliver Didn’t need to pick a central london site with ridiculous overheads.. If anything needs those sales to stand still it’s not a viable place to open

Moving article about ⁦@jamieoliver⁩’s struggle with Dyslexia. But this paragraph struck me… ‘Last January his restaurant had to take £65,000 a week to break even. Now, he says, it needs to take £80,000.’ Madness thetimes.com/article/2ca882…

@MattChristmas1 People should be able to do what they want.. would say this is a big compliment. Plates clean is plates clean

Can you help settle a debate please? In a fancy restaurant is it acceptable to dip your finger in the food or wipe the plate clean with your finger? I hold a strong position on this but the kitchen and those out front are very divided. Those who’ve eaten with me will know my take

A new kiosk restaurant and wine bar from @RyanJacovides opens in Margate next week. More here: dineoutmagazine.co.uk/story.php?s=20…

@banks_chef @UKHofficial Most people dining earlier now! This is mad! Will help like 00000.01% of the industry. Performative stuff Just a jolly and a bunch of people who know nothing about what the industry really needs..

@MelindaHoward4 Looks delicious

NO

@EaterWriter Yes completely Would be game changing. Lower prices mean more people will visit. Margins better and some actual profit maybe

If there was a campaign to halve UK VAT for tourism and hospitality (effectively giving us 10% of our turnover back to invest or pay debts) with major backing from key media, would you, as an operator, regardless of the sense of it, promise to lower prices by a visible 5%?

@MeatOneVegBlog Surprised they’re coming to brum… especially as they lost the battle to open pre pasture.. risky now I think

When you really think about Blacklock coming to Brum, and piling cuts of animal onto a bread for the juices, it’s really just a Kurdish restaurant on the Soho Rd

@ichoosemag Pasture Black lock Hawksmore survive (if they come) Rest fade away I’m afraid. They aren’t good enough But don’t think hawksmore want the smoke

THE BEEF QUARTER How are we, as a city, going to accommodate: Gaucho Pasture Cow & Sow Black Lock Fazenda Bar & Block (yes they’re still here!) And Hawksmoor (they’re coming imo) All within a square 150 metres of one another?

@MartinSLewis Will the time taken from my life to watch this, be worth what 10k will be in a million years time when we’re allowed to retire I think not

Pls help me spread word: tonight 8pm ITV I'll talk you through how to check if you can boost your State Pension by possibly £10,000s. There's an urgent deadline coming after which many lose the opportunity It's a must watch for anyone age 40 to 73 (some under 40s can gain too)

@kala_manchester Wow that’s seriously good value but feels a bit too cheap..for the quality

@MeatOneVegBlog Shorts and t shirt… no cap

@RyanJacovides Was he wearing his Nigel Farage t-shirt?

I once got invited to a nice event at a well-known steakhouse and was sat at the same table as him. The only thing Tod loves more than food is Tod himself.

@MeatOneVegBlog @herberts_yard For enough. I rate it. But been a while now

@RyanJacovides @herberts_yard Went on a bad day many many years ago. Keep on meaning to try them again. Much preferred Burger Shop in Hereford at the time

Flying Cows is the best burger in the UK and I refuse to be told otherwise

@UltraRunner26 It’s all excellent

🤷 Just started watching Money Heist. Anyone watched this full series?

A pub isn't just about having a pint. In the UK 3.6 million people suffer from chronic loneliness. Pubs are at the heart of our communities. A place for friends and family to come together. Strangers to become friends. We must do all we can to protect them.

@jwalkermobile It’s good, just way too expensive For a lot less you can get wine that’s on a par & better

New release Opus One arrived. Do you love Opus One or Hate it?

@AlexReilley1 We have hotspots at 6-730… by 930 most service is done

Just booked a table for Valentines Day. No time slots available from 5:30pm - 8:15pm but every time slot available from 8:30pm onwards. Not so long ago (pre-COVID) 8:30pm was absolute prime time (particularly on a Friday). There’s no doubt the nation is eating a lot earlier.
