Jamie's Italian, Canary Wharf

[Jog On]

Went to the Kingston one - was quite nice, not amazing - didn't and wouldn't queue to get in. Maybe about same standard as Carluccio?

I think Scrag's been spoiled by the Grub Club. Jamie's Italians aren't quite Barbecoa.

Went to the one in Reading. Nearly everything had chilli in it, so I chose something on the menu that didn't.

When it came, it was far too hot for me - they'd put chilli in it. As everything else on the menu clearly stated it had chilli, it wasn't unreasonable to assume that this dish didn't.

Waiter begrudgingly changed it for something without chilli, but charged me for both. But my friends enjoyed their meals.

We found the spaghetti to be a bit undercooked. We went to one near Milton Keynes Central (Boulevard something). I prefer Bella Italia and Garfunkels..

It's a chain, what do you expect apart from bored waitresses, meh food and service.

It's in the south, what do you expect apart from bored waitresses, meh food and service.

ftfy - staff in our chain restaurants oop north are generally pretty good.

I think Scrag's been spoiled by the Grub Club. Jamie's restaurants aren't quite Hawksmoor.

Well, yes, the Hawksmoor is king but I said Barbecoa because it's another Jamie Oliver place. Those crispy pig cheeks were damn tasty
