I thought it was doing OK, obviously not.
Jamie Oliver is basically shit as a chef. All TV image, no substance.
He's had restaurants go under for ages - last lot he blamed upon brexit conveniently ignoring his failed restaurants pre-Brexit referendum...
Was dragged there by a family member last year - shit food, paying for the name.
I did like the fact that he tried to improve school dinners and make them more healthy. Less pizza n twislers more fresh food. Some see it as a well off mockney ttw@t poking his nose in and they might be on to something but I thought his heart was in the right place.
Gordon Ramsay doesn't cook in all his restraints either or Marco Pierre White or countless others so I wouldn't hold that against Oliver but if the food is average and overpriced then that's different.
Lol restraints I'm just gonna leave it in there. Would be good to see that.
Turkey twizzlers were lush as a treat every now and then.
Heart in the right place? Pah. Increased profile to sell more books; happy to paid by a supermarket chain who sold other crap food too.
Agree school dinners need to be healthier but killing choice is always ridiculous.
Had a meal there last year, was nice enough but expensive.
There are far better Italian restaurants around the City.
Giovanni’s is better even though the bloke is a top class kent.
He's never bloody there, should be called ""jamies not here"". Plenty of good home grown Italians in Cardiff , the small one by the City Arms is excellent ,won awards , as is the one in Canton opposite the Kings .
I've been in 2 of those restaurants and the food was fine, not spectacular, but good enough.
I don't think there are ANY really good italian restaurants in Cardiff, the small one by the stadium posibly the best.
I don't think he's a shit chef, I don't think you would get to his position if you were
Turkey twizzlers were da feckin bomb!
I don’t consider it over priced.
Appropriate for the investment put into them. My guess is they get closed because of the management in that particular site. When you have a brand it has to live up to itself. If your only lens is Cardiff and that restaurant was poorly managed then I can understand why someone who doesn’t venture out of Cardiff much could think it was typical of the entire chain and therefore tar everything with the same brush
BTW - I agree with you and the Cardiff lens comment is a general one and not directed at you
