2 bests, one worst
Turbot with buerre blanc in Rick Steins place in Padstow. Quite pricy but incredibly tasty. Definitely worth a trip if you're in cornwall at any point.

Porkpies from Hulsons in Mold, North wales. Beats the hell out of the famous Melton mowbray any day of the week (except sundays and bank holidays because they're closed).

The worst has to be one meal I had in the mess in the falklands... a "stew" which turned out to be liver in bisto. I went hungry that night.

I've always imagined any celebrity chefs restaurant to be a hellish affair
Mainly because they have about 8 sittings a night and you'll be rushed in and out with no regard for wether you're enjoying the night or not.

I'm certain the food's great, I adore Rick Stein, but the rush and the crying children and the tourists and....it just sounds like a great big hassle to me. Food should be enjoyed over a long relaxing period with wine.
