On the way to Salter Street Toys this lunch time and noticed it was open. There was an A board outside with their new opening hours, and there were two customers inside. Didn't go in though.

HI All,

In a bid to achieve a Michelin star, I have been working hard in the kitchen to create something extra special. The new dinner menu looks somewhat familiar, but I am using even better ingredients and more consistent and technically advanced cooking techniques to get even better culinary results.

There are some new dishes on the menu as well; all I can say is SMOKEHOUSE!

I do have other changes planned in the near future, but this menu is a giant leap forward in the pursuit of world-class excellences.

This new menu will be launched on Valentine's Day Dinner, so please treat your partner to something uber special and book now. Space is always very limited.

Please check our our menu on our FB page to see what I have I have been up to.

Cheers,

Nothing says Michelin star quite like Smokehouse. Although the menu does like nice, I must try this place

Went in for the first time in a few years on Saturday. I must say I was pleasantly surprised. Only had a really nice house coffee (so nice I had to have another). The menu looked pretty good compared to last time & very reasonably priced too. I just wish they could do something about the fecking dog out the back that never stopped barking all the time we were in there. Annoying but wouldn't stop us returning though, will try the food next time.

Hi All,

Sorry to disappoint, but I will be closed tomorrow and Thursday day. We will open for Valentine's dinner.

The reason being, I have laryngitis. I could not even do the radio show today, no voice. I know what everyone is thinking - finally, something shut me up!

So, I am taking time to rest my voice and prepping up for the exciting new dinner menu, which starts on Thursday at 5:30.

There are a few tables for Valentine's available, be one of the first to find out what I have been up to in the kitchen. The culinary bar has been raised!

Cheers,
Jonathan

And yet still no chips.

Why does he think that people want a gourmet burger but without a handful of gorgeous handcrafted chips on the side?

But apparently the oil on the chips ruins the palate.

What a load of pretentious clap trap nonsense.

In my humble opinion of course.

@Carole just for my own morbid curiosity, have you ever owned or operated a restaurant, cafe or public house?

Sorry, it’s taken me over 18 months to reply to you.
No, I haven’t ever owned one, but I’ve been a customer in many restaurants.

Why did you ask?

I’m only asking because ages ago I queried his business plan, and I queried his opening hours and his apparent lack of business sense.

I felt that you thought that because I hadn’t actually owned a business myself then I wasn’t in a place to pass judgment.

Psychic Sally perhaps thought about it, seeing as she’s in Stafford on Thursday at The Gatehouse.

Can she predict something that us mere mortals can’t foresee?
