    I do give the agent lots of tips on clientco and the heads up on opportunities.

    Or do I? maybe I wanted just to drop in a euphamism.

    I think I would prefer wagamama. Any tips for me?

    Pot Noodle on chips, but only when it's the Chicken and Mushroom one.

    Made that delicious discovery when I was a student living on pound-a-pints. If only I could live on 30 quid a week now, I could retire. Bloody inflation.

    It was my regular agent - the one who placed me at ClientCo. Taken me to Rhodes24 and wagamama a few times.

    I've been a few times.

    I thought the food in the brasserie was very average, and the service pretty substandard.

    The restuarant food is much better and although is more expensive better value for money on the whole. Service was fantastic.

    Nice cocktails in the bar, too.

    Ive been but didnt rate it, food was a bit too posh for me no steak or chicken, just fish or game. Put it this way I stopped off for something else to eat after I left there, wouldnt go back for the food.
