Food shortages, food price hikes, interest rates, energy bills sky high, sewage in our waterways, NHS waiting lists longest in history, multiple strikes (list could go on).

Makes me sick.
My sous chef Laszlo made an amazing smoked haddock wellington in development this week inspired by
@chefcalum
(any tips?!) - I think it’s spot on, his dish will go on the menu soon!
I know there’s lots of people struggling for chefs/hospitality staff in general, but if you’re actively going out and poaching staff and encouraging them not to work a notice then you’re a big part of the problem. It won’t get any better like that!
Nightmare that your breakfast chef calls in sick on a Sunday, however, I forgot the utter delight of cleaning the bowl of hollandaise out with a fresh croissant
Late to the party but so proud of our Arkle and La Brasserie teams for maintaining 3 & 2

@GaryUsher_
right, closures inbound. Hospitality is in a depression economically speaking and we need to do something about it. Busy doesn’t equal profit anymore!
