That sounds awesome, Daisy! I love Gordon Ramsey anyway, so I’d already be in my element (I think it’s how much he swears!), but watching a well-oiled machine like that is great, isn’t it? You chose wisely for your Number 16 I reckon!
I know what you mean about the heart attack on a piece of paper too. We went to Rockpool a while back. Amazing food, incredible service and a quite remarkable bill at the end of it! You should try it if you can – not a bad way to tick off Number 3 on your list if you haven’t already.

I reckon it must have done, Sonia! We were wondering where you were. Don’t worry, it wasn’t much fun anyway.*
*It was actually a lot of fun, sorry.**
**Not sure what I’m sorry for – but it would have been a lot more fun if you’d been there, obviously!

The snobbiest place I’ve ever eaten was at Restaurant Gordon Ramsay in London (and yes, I LOVED every minute of it!!). The restaurant sat about 40 people (possibly even less than that), and there were at least twice as many staff as guests. Each staff member had a particular function and their duties could not extend past their dedicated role, e.g. ‘the finance manager’ who kindly delivers a heart attack on a piece of paper (aka the bill) at the end of the meal; one person to serve, one to clear; one to take your drink order, another to pour the wine…you get the picture. The meal was an experience in and of itself, and met all of my expectations of a three michelin star restaurant. Quite simply, amazing!
