concept. Sat believes that tasting menus are a good thing and told the Staff Canteen that: "From a guest’s perspective, we’ve had nothing but positive feedback over the years, which is why we only do them now."
In comparison, Dom has quite a contrasting view with regards to the benefits of tasting menus. He said: "People will forget how to actually cook proper food in the traditional format. What's wrong with starter, main and dessert?"
So what does Billy think about the recent debate over the concept of tasting menus?
“Everyone is going to be different in terms of what is going to work for them," he said. "For us, we have been doing a seven-course menu anyway with a choice of certain courses, so it is not much different from what we have been doing. It’s an extra two courses and we are taking away the choice element that we had.
“In all honesty, I would say about 90% of our customers would choose the same thing anyway and the feedback that we have had from guests has all been really positive.”
He also revealed that alongside the menu changes, that the restaurant has undergone a refurb and there have been some staffing changes too but he is very much looking forward to the reopening which takes places on October 4.
