This has nothing to do with Brexit, it's because his food is no better than ours but four times the price!

quite a few of the chefs have over extended and had to close restaurants.

Some of the locations are poor if you are going for a great experience.

Pricing isn't terrible ~ £30 a head 3 courses without wine assuming its better than Dominos.

FWIW, I think Jamie Oliver, the person, is to be admired. I think he may be trying to do too much at once, but at least he's trying, and he's trying to do some good along the way. His decent eating campaigns, and (I think) the 15 chain that helps young people get a start in their careers is an excellent idea.

Credit where it's due.

He's one of those people it's popular to dislike, presumably because he has a social conscience and evengelises his views (and has a silly accent). Easy to call him a champagne lefty or a virtue signaller, etc.

But everything I know about him is that he got where he is through hard word and real passion, which IS to be admired. He seems to put his money and (more importantly) his time where his mouth is so even if you don't like him or his views at least he's trying.
When I've heard him do radio interviews and the like, he comes across as quite genuine if a little vocal - but then that's what got him celebrity chef status in the first place.

There's one in Reading.

I've been to that one. Once.

Standard overpriced crap corporate eatery.

My hubby's pejorative term for him was "the fat tongued mockney c**t"

By thoughts exactly.

You guys are married? Brought together by your common interest in irrational hatred of (or more likely jealously of) total strangers?

It's the modern fairy tale.

Not everyone believes in fairy tales though.
