General Chat

Changed jobs last September.
He used to be head chef at the Hotel du Vin in Winchester, but took another job at Audleys Wood, just outside Basingstoke, because it wanted to open a gastronomic restaurant (alongside the 'ordinary'one), and he wanted to be a part of this.
In 5 months, he has earned this hotel 2 rosettes, with chances of another!!
He's only 27 years old.


..now i've told you that, I can't tell you about the hysteria he caused me by mishearing what me and my daughter were talking about on the phone......

Oh, go on Maggie, do tell. I wont tell another soul. (fingers crossed behind back as I say that).

Huia.

Well done him! He must be feeling quite proud of himself and so he should too.

Now come on, spill the beans!! :-D

Lovely to hear of the younger generation doing well in their chosen sphere. Well done him.

And go on, we honestly won't tell anyone! :-D

Good to hear hard work is being rewarded :-)

Well, as none of you live near said hotel,I'll let slip.
Mind you, you may not find it as funny as me.

I phoned my daughter and was talking about the impending snow, and the difficulty I may have getting to work.
Daughter pointed out I now have crampons, at which point I heard my SiL (sat next to daughter) go 'Euurgh - how would that help?
Daughter turned to SiL and said 'CRAMPONS' not 'GRAMPONS' - they're nothing to do with Tampons for the elderly!!!!

Aww - bless him :-)

LOL ..............could be a marketing ploy there!!!

Bob

I had to google "Crampons!" lol :-D

Well done to your s i l :-D

PH...lol :-D

jude :-D

Congrats to SIL - he has done well - very well indeed. No wonder you are proud of him.

We actually had an Hotel du Vin not too far from us (about 8 km) but it was sold 3 or 4 yrs ago and is no longer an hotel. I never visited it, much too posh for the loikes of me.

Huia.

Well done to your son-in-law Maggie.
So good to hear of hard work being recognised.

Gwyn

Thank you for your good wishes - he's a lovely lad.

Karen - belated congratulations to your OH :-D
