What The Papers Say, a review and round up, of the weekends restaurant food critics.

What the Papers Say by Chefbennett01 The Staff Canteen look at the the weekend restaurant review Starting us off this week, Jay Rayner tries to reassure us that he doesn't have it in for the nobility, yet still manages to slate the second establishment owned by the duchy of Devonshire. The name "˜the Devonshire arms' denotes ownership by the duke and duchess of the same name, and fresh from his attack of the one at Bolton abbey a little over a month ago, he finds nothing better in the food here at beeley in Derbyshire. He prefers the beeley décor over Bolton abbey, and compliments them on the cooking of their meat, but almost everything else fails to impress. Some of the menu descriptions are "˜flowery'-"Crispy hand-dived Scottish sea scallops, sweetcorn purée, white asparagus, roasted apple purée, cinnamon toast, cafe latte" sounds like a whole menu, not just one dish, but jay finds the whole thing distracting. He also has a slight at the chef's mum, for inspiring her offspring with her own lemon tart recipe, however that seems an unfair thing to put poor Mrs Hill through. The Observer/guardian full review Reviewer Name - Jay Rayner Location/contact details - Devonshire arms, Beeley, Derbyshire (01629 733 259). The Devonshire Arms Beeley - Next up is yet another new name on me from the independent-amol rojan, and unfortunately I have to express my opinion that he is a very poor reviewer. Not content with trying to review the whole of southwold in one review, he proceeds to show ignorance about food, and a tendency to act like the owner of a newly acquired English language A-level and waffles some of the worst writing I have seen whilst doing these round-ups. Basing his choice of favourite venue around the size of the gin and tonic provided seems somewhat shallow to me. Not to take anything away from Sutherland
