Dress code for a 1* Michelin restaurant?

Normally you're pretty sensible matey, but I'll have to agree with your self-assessment in this scenario.

I'd have said "Sorry sir, but it's our club, our food and our dress code. I believe Mcdonald's are more relaxed however"

Peeves me off when people dress like chavs to eat in high class restaurants.

One of the points of going to a restaurant with a dress code is that it discourages certain people from going there who you wouldn't want sitting at a table next to you.

In the same way that overly dressing up for a working men's club will get you trouble, it's the same for the restaurant.

Both groups have a dress code as part of their policy.

I may wear t-shirts and goth gear most of the time, but I do love to dress up for a fancy meal and I've never been turned down at a fancy place if making an effort.

It's part of the fun and the experience, IMHO.

You are the late Mr Carradine, AICMFP.

Agreed - although I don't dress like a chav; if I do wear jeans (like the ones I'm wearing right now, at work) they're of the sandy-beige coloured variety, and a smart shirt plus jacket.

In a previous life I was *told* what to wear and how to wear it and I'm not doing that again.

Can't see a problem with that matey.

It's the blue jeans that are LC. Horrid things.

Absolutely.

That and the horrid, awful Burberry / shell suit / Kappa-slappa types.

Euch.

Yes but the chav can turn up suited and booted from Matalan for less than the cost of my indigoes. He would meet the dress code but I wouldn't.
When I go out I like to dress down. I dress for work unless there is onsite rules. I like to be casual when out.
I can dress with the best of them. If I really wanted to go to a place with a dress code then I would dress to it. A dress code doesnt exclude scum.

Association football shirts and in fact any shirt with large prints on it.

White socks.

Then why not just put up a sign saying 'No entry for chavs: chavdom determined at the discretion of the owner'?

A decent Maitr'D is usualy sufficient.

It's not about what you like though. It's about what the restaurant wants its clientele to do. You are free to eat elsewhere if you are unhappy with their policy.

I think I said that in the post you quoted from.
