have to be "posh" or "stiff service". Cracking food, great staff=job done.

The family run business has now decided to refurbish the restaurant and give the menu a complete overhaul but understand this may mean the restaurant could lose its star when the new guide is revealed on Monday, October 2, 2017.
The BBC reports that Wendy Matheson said: "Whilst we are extremely proud of the Michelin star we gained 10 years ago and it undoubtedly enhanced our reputation, our restaurant has consistently made a loss.
"We believe that the expectations from Michelin are at odds with achievable profit margins and put an enormous stress on a small family-run business like ours.
"The feedback we are hearing time and time again from our customers is that they want an experience that is more informal and relaxed and this extends to the restaurant, the food and even how it is served."
In response to the Boath House's decision to move, Rebecca Burr, editor of the Michelin Guide Great Britain and Ireland told the BBC: "It's obviously up to individual restaurants how they want to run their businesses, and there is absolutely no formula for winning or retaining a Michelin star.
"There has certainly been a trend towards more informal dining over the past 10 years or so, and in fact Michelin has been at the absolute forefront of recognising and celebrating that."
