Gordon is back to see how Brian and Elaine are faring at the Fenwick Arms in rural Lancashire, one year on. When he first arrived, he found the pub run by landlord Brian who, after 30 years in the business and a quadruple heart-bypass, still puts in 120 hours a week and insists on laying down the law in the kitchen. Despite best efforts, Brian and Elaine are £250,000 in debt and were losing £1,500 a week.

A year ago I spent a week in the fenic arms with Brian Ray the most eccentric fruit cake I’ve ever met bollock theist B Maggie I love baat looks like we got the queen coming for [ __ ] dinner this week I’m back in Lancashire to see how they’ve coped you look
Dreadful yeah I get tired you look absolutely [ __ ] but staff morale is at an alltime low why the [ __ ] we all can’t work as a team I don’t know the team is in pieces and I’ve got to pull them back together come on come on come on come come but Brian is ready
To throw in the towel I’m just totally lost it I could quite happily walk down now and close the Doors Theon Valley a wealthy farming area in the heart of the Lancashire Countryside home of the hot pot and the custard tart and a great location for a roadside Pub so I’m looking for the fenic Arms a good old traditional English pub every day thousands of punters speed past the pub it slap bang on the busy a683 between Lancaster and Kirby londsdale pubs are now the nation’s favorite place to eat out and Brian Ray has spent the last 30 years cooking pubs food I don’t
Claim to be God I don’t claim to be Jesus but in my business and in my kitchen my word is law there’s a mint to be made if you get pub food right but since Brian and his partner Elaine Howen took over the fenig arms three years ago
They’ve been Heming money at a rate of, 1500 quid a week what’s going on up there one big overgrown Bush Fu me and here is the menu okay this is elae elae nice to see you and hello I’m Brian Brian how are you oh I’m fine it’s good delighted to meet you
Likewise good to see you very delighted God it’s tight in here isn’t it yep so where’s the um where’s the restaurant dining areas this way follow us down then this is supposed to be a traditional English pub but it’s full of tacky clutter and when it comes to table
Settings Brian’s got serious illusions of grandeur God extraordinary not what I imagined as a pub um we used to have this just as a small dining room with four tables in it God looks like you got the queen coming for [ __ ] dinner No unfortunately no one’s coming for dinner but it’s not for want of trying Brian and Elaine are throwing everything at this failing business we spend most of our life down here anything between 100 and 120 hours a week down here 120 hours a week 60 hours each yeah no no
120 each so what days off did you take we don’t we don’t you don’t take days we had we had Christmas day off this year that was your last day off yep and the day before that was the previous Christmas and the day before that would
Have been about 18 years ago Jesus had 6 days off for a quable heart bypass but I was back at work on the seventh day [ __ ] H you back at work seven days later yeah yep 7 days after the op I was back working in the kitchen cookie
Are you mad probably how old are you 62 62 Christ Ryan is killing himself over an empty Pub this place should feel laidback and Lively but it’s got all the formality and awkwardness of a wake stayed you know the atmosphere is static and very dreary so you for the evening thank you
Plus the additions of the day care for a l ran calls them additions rather than specials doesn’t like to call them specials [ __ ] me God I see but it’s far from being a pub man use it God red Johnson’s confed Gard duck breast Ribble Farmhouse survoy cabbage Ry potato Willington crispy
Apple chutney and Calvados je [ __ ] me Brian’s trying way too hard and his list of pompous sources is ridiculous I mean there’s pure Mera red wine sauce je calor je Lanisha je camed onions tartar extraordinary you walk into a pub and you expect a stank iny pudding and shepherd’s pie
I’ve ordered the simplest thing on the menu a prawn salad but Brian doesn’t do simple we’d like to point out first and foremost we’re a traditional Old English pup Hy hell whated that’s deep in Tradition there isn’t it let’s see if Brian can get traditional with my main course but I’m
Doubtful it’s Cocker and rack of lamb make cherry tomatoes and one of those pretentious sauces how the [ __ ] do you get in how do you get the lamb out not only is this not pub food but it’s plain awful honestly it’s like chewing a [ __ ] golf ball Ryan’s got a lot to
Answer for this is a pub isn’t it yes and that’s what I had to keep on telling myself a traditional Old English pub so how many pubs have you been in that have served a over reduced syrupy sickly Bas with vinegar in a zed shape over a square
Plate probably n a pub or Pub grub is the next step up from from home no it’s that basic rustic honest good British solid food um there’s nothing traditional about what you doing here this is currently running as a restaurant that is confused over the top I mean absurd beyond
Belief you’re not running a pub it feels like you’re running a restaurant badly modern pub food is all about simple home cooking dumb well but I don’t think it’s going to be easy persuading Brian and Elaine that they need to get back to basics how you feeling totally
Crap uh it was pretty devastating last night um some of the things yes we could fully accept and take uhhuh um but to be quite honest the way we felt if you have to be like that to get to the top I’m glad I’m at the bottom I’ve got to be
Brutally honest clearly you don’t like that level of honesty I’m not here for confrontation and you know if you’re that devastated on the back of what you’ve been through in this industry for 30 years I’m surprised you’re so weak after 30 years hardcraft Brian and Elaine should be reaping the benefits
But in fact they’re facing bankruptcy and could be homeless in 3 months they’ve got to face facts how much um are you in debt when we actually sat down and wrote it down toss it all up uh put everything into it where you sort of leave things
Out so that you don’t see it uh we’re about quarter of a million in if we had to close tonight uhhuh the situation at the fenic arms is desperate I need to find out out how Brian runs his kitchen since he’s heart up his memory
Lets him down so he sets a timer for every dish he’s cooking and that helps you not to forget when it’s ready but it’s not just that it’s giving you awareness all the time that time’s passed so how many times you got going on just one at the moment three
Brian’s short-term memory is as awful as the rich sticky SAU is coating every dish and this one and that I believe is a previous scrumpy reduction um we actually didn’t have a lot of cider so it’s the scrumpy reduction without the scrumpy Apple ties reduction with apple ties in There Apple ties [ __ ] me I feel sick I’m starting to realize nothing about this kitchen makes sense have we got any Mash ready for us n have we got a bowl for that while Brian runs around the tiny cramped space he’s paying top whack to his most experienced
Chef Nathan who seems to just put pass in everything this is normal when someone taking a piss at me this is normal normal I’ve never seen such a chaotic and inefficient kitchen and on top of that there’s Brian’s over complicated and frankly ridiculous food Stone Cal Pate Stone Cal lettuce piping hot pigeon
Red wine sauce parsley hey you got a [ __ ] brain haven’t you I hope so I like I think so is this pub food no because I can’t quite believe I’m [ __ ] standing in a traditional English pub Brian’s already had five heart attacks and he’s running himself into
The ground cooking the wrong food in the wrong way your kitchen is a disaster Zone it is [ __ ] impossible to get food out of there I tell you what big boy you may be 62 but [ __ ] me you don’t have to work that hard you know that that it’ be nice
If it didn’t I I I I swear to God cuz that must be a [ __ ] nightmare in There the fenic arms in Lancashire has ideas above its station it’s a country pub with aspirations to be a fan restaurant the dining room is set for the queen and the food is pretentious Brian Ray and elae Howden are over a qu of a million p in debt but they’re still
Spending You’ got a setup of a restaurant big coffee machine espresso expensive bit of quit this now uh I picked up for £400 400 quid yeah you bought it yeah from where eBay eBay yeah Brian stuffed his kitchen with so much secondhand equipment you can’t swing a
Cat let me just squeeze past here thank [ __ ] your small you know that it’s an outset of time I know what that’s what you do you look for chefs on eBay look at their size their measurements their weight then employ them yes Brian’s DIY kitchen is a cramped bodge together disaster Zone held
Together with bits of string and his hoarding problem goes much deeper than I first thought uh I I love plates whereas other people go and have a holiday or go out for a meal I’ll save my pennies and buy a Plate Jesus [ __ ] me look all those plates there wrapped in clinfield why are they wrapped in clinfield stay clean to stay clean yeah right what are these plates used for just some I bought to play with some you bought to play with yeah we haven’t played with them yet just got the chance
Of getting them so I got them what do you think we put in there salad I don’t know we’ll come up with some dish and use them for that no no no no come on you don’t serve food in them do you yes we did oh no come on I wouldn’t even put
A [ __ ] dog’s dinner in there you don’t serve food in them uh we have done in the past no look at the size of it they’re big I mean you you can you can go tiling with that thing you know that we can retile this whole establishment with these plates just
Look what we can start doing in terms of look already starting to look unique isn’t it yep and so you said what what what Chinese dish on this one it wasn’t it was a Japanese dish Christ of the tile glue didn’t stick [ __ ] it’s all right don’t worry it was
Chipped anyway sorry damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn every corner I turn I discover another of Brian’s stashies squired away now where did that one come from I bought that from villoy Bach [ __ ] hell and what’s that you don’t serve food on that come on yes we do it’s like
A [ __ ] swimming pool for Barbie now we’ve got one with three compartments down the side we sered the steak on that you serve the steak on that y a lifetime of hoarding calls for shock treatment for the first time ever we’re going to get rid of that [ __ ]
Junk before I can even think about changing the food I’ve got to make some space condemned broken chipped skipped yeah yeah this where did you get this thing from eBay eBay tucked away in the corner Brian’s got a huge disgusting stock pot it’s the base for all his revolting sources
That’s going to go in the skip we don’t need to [ __ ] have the sh the Merlot we don’t need it that for me is a Hazard Brian’s been collecting kitchen equipment for 30 years he’s never thrown anything away and even with me here to help he’s finding it difficult bit of a shock to the system it’s a hell of a shock to the system I’ve been trying to get rid of
Some of this rubbish for two or three years but Brian will not B with anything I’m leaving Elaine in charge of rebuilding the kitchen while I make sure that Brian’s junk has gone for good okay why do you think I brought you here I have no idea you got no idea well
See that skip behind there that’s full of your junk and I’m really worried the fact that you’re going to put half that junk back in your kitchen so I’ve got to get rid of it once and for all go on get that stock pot away we’re getting rid of the [ __ ] look at
It stop holding crap I think you well and truly made the bik the harsh truth is that 20 rural pubs close every month and if Brian and Elaine don’t want to add to that number they need to start making some drastic changes got a huge amount of respect for
[ __ ] Brian the guy’s 62 years of age he’s been cooking for 30 years he hasn’t got a [ __ ] pot to piss in he’s working in excessive 120 hours a [ __ ] week in a kitchen I’m sorry but for any man at 62 that can kill you clearing out the junk was just the
Beginning before I can start changing that God awful food I need to get this kitchen working properly look at the space you got here like that hey we’re going to throw a [ __ ] dance in here in a minute I’ve got to do something drastic I need
To clear out one final thing from the kitchen Brian Brian big night for you tonight don’t be scared of a change you’re not cooking in the kitchen tonight you are out of the kitchen for good and you are more capable of running your Pub but not
From the kitchen as a proper Publican as a proper host I will do my best please go and get changed I will I think this kitchen has got a better chance without Brian he’s got a young but enthusiastic team of Three Chefs Nathan Karen and Chris I know how
Difficult Brian is to work with that is so [ __ ] obvious yeah he’s gone now yeah he’s not running the kitchen he’s running his business show him that you can do it it’s essential that the fenic arms has a friendly couple out front to do is
Keep all the all the way to St on but I’m not convinced Brian will be up to the job after 30 years behind the stove good evening did anybody tell you we’ve run out of SE bass and we’ve only got one Tian Left Right anybody any ideas on what
You’re looking for before we run out of what’s left oh dear not exactly a performance that way talk to them Brian they won’t bite but it’s looking much more professional in the kitchen where Karen has taken charge don’t worry about drizzl the plate just Source the [ __ ] thing please there you go
Good even with Brian’s complicated menu men the food is flying out of the kitchen just like it should do in a pub they doing a great job in there now the problem’s in the dining room and there’s no Vibrance there the atmosphere is stuffy and formal why Earth is Elaine pouring the
Wine this is supposed to be a pub while Brian and Elaine fuss over their customers they empty tables in the dining room and the bar is filling up with people waiting to Eat they’re never going to make a profit running it like this they need to fill the tables twice a night what’s happening in the bar everyone’s sitting in there taking orders get them straight to the [ __ ] table get them in the restaurant clear the bar can I pass you some menus are
These ladies part of your party Ryan has got to loosen up or they’ll never speed up the service first of all you guys get [ __ ] well done I mean really well done my problem was in the dining room your service doesn’t need to be that formal if you relax the service will
Relax and that’s not nitpicking we’re a pub yeah what’s wrong with them carrying their own drinks through to the table nothing you know yourself where the atmosphere is not right you know it’s not running smooth of course you do but we need to work on that level of just a
Pub I’ve only got three days to go and I’ve still got to solve the biggest problem at the fenig arms Brian’s Food what is traditionally English pub food what is it I suppose English pub food is basically scampy gamon sausage that but that isn’t what I want to be that’s nothing of the sort [ __ ] me what pubs have you been in um not quite so many since I ended up in one myself
It’s rustic simple English cooking whether it’s a bowl of split pea soup whether it’s a Lancer Hot Pot whether it’s steak and chips it is simple food and that’s where I’ve lost my way then it’s time I push in the right direction see this on here twaddle yeah absolute horrendous
Waffle I don’t want to see the madira sauce the Citrus mayonnaise I don’t want to see a calvar no more sauces the pub will be serving Great British pub food I’ve got to start replacing some of Brian’s dishes with good home cooking yeah yeah what’s wrong with having Lage
Your hot poot on the menu nothing nothing at all where are we l laner and so why is that not on the menu I’ve asked Brian and Elane to rewrite the menu minus the waffle pound fried duck liers just fried duck liers fish cake um just put down fish cake potatoes
On top lots of potatoes yeah spread nice good give a little twist at the bottom like that that mixes the onions and the potatoes yeah up on top and in what have you done for the fish cake salmon and hadock fish cake oh salmon and hadock fish cake salmon and hadock fish cake
Yeah and that’s it yep wow finally we’re getting somewhere I feel like we’re really starting to [ __ ] understand what Pub means progress at last but I don’t think they really understand what a pub is until they’ve been to one so I’m giving them the night off their first Saturday night out at 18
Years good uh right Elaine uh Brian take the dogs for a walk don’t worry about the service right when you come back okay get changed yeah and come and have dinner when was the last time you sat in here on a Saturday night and watched your staff at work and enjoyed
Your dinner never never right okay off you go thank you guys see you later thank you yeah see you later right now one last thing you’re the only Pub in Britain that’s got a [ __ ] uniform get changed into your civis see in 5 minutes ready to run the place yeah there’s a good
Boy there’s a good boy come on L I’m hoping that if Brian and Elaine experien a real Pub atmosphere they’ll realize relaxed is best so tonight there’ll be no fussy service at the fenick arms good evening good evening good evening welcome to fenic Arms how are
You very well thank you good good good uh you can’t come in you too busy um no we’re not too busy um you’re not here to receive an OB you’re here to have dinner you’re dressed too formal we’ll go back again as quick as you can right come on Lovely
We’ve never been out ever not dressed like this right come back with something Casual welcome to the fic arms come through please thank you cheers D tonight they’ll be saing the first of my new real Pub grub not a sticky as you in sight it’s a rather nice color isn’t it you want to taste this Patty it’s good with that that that is to die for the food has been a
Hit I hope they’ finally got the message that they’ve got nothing to fear from Going Back to Basics you’ve got to show flexibility and you can do it and getting you out of this place today was a breath of fresh air just to relax the
Place and the more you can relax I swear to God you’re going to see your business grow last night was a success I thought the fenic arms was back on track but this morning I’ve discovered Brian has gone behind my back and jeopardized everything we’ve been trying to
Achieve um what was his complaint to you this morning um it was generally that um he doesn’t want to see any of his plates being bin he doesn’t want anything being different he came around took all his knives out um it was just generally um this is our business this is our home
Things aren’t going to be changing as much as anybody thinks we’re still going to be doing it our way and nobody’s going to say any different he stuck in his way I’m pissed off really unbelievable two days to go and he decides to screw it all up at 62 years
Of age it’s becoming really [ __ ] clear that you can’t teach an old dog new [ __ ] tricks I’m nearing the end of my week at the fenic arms where I’m trying to save Brian and Elaine from the jaws of bankruptcy but just when I thought we’d turn the corner Brian’s gone behind my
Back and told his staff he won’t accept my changes I want to get it out with you now because I don’t mind going I’d rather go and see my wife today and sit here and [ __ ] bang my head against the wall if you’re not prepared to
Accept the changes you’ve got to tell me and the nitpicking you do you know what you’ve got to balance it out with some confidence and a little bit of encouragement as we I said to them this this morning right just remember we are the bosses it’s not a power struggle you
Are are definitely the owners just cut them a little slack you’ll be surprised you know what we’re acting like small children aren’t we thank you they’re busting their nuts off for you right now they’re busting their nuts off for you right now that’s not for me that’s for
You because you pay their [ __ ] salaries not me and when you’re worried about your villero and rock [ __ ] plates that no one’s changing [ __ ] come and tell me yeah cuz I’ll smash them over your [ __ ] head he better have listened this time I’m only here for two more days and a bigger
Concern is that it’s Sunday on a bank holid weekend and the pub is virtually empty here we are sat at quter 2 25 kill done and then we should be having a second seating coming in now for Sunday lunch but thank God only 25 people are going to eat the miserable looking roast
They’re serving today it’s coated in yet another disgusting Brown sauce is that Brian’s recipe yeah it’s a revolting coction of gravy granules and reduce red wine I may have kicked Brian out of the kitchen but unfortunately his influence still lingers on I suppose we can always [ __ ] retti the roof on that [ __ ]
Can’t we look at that F me why is it so dark but the yire puddings are actually pretty impressive what a shame they’re going to be ruined by Brian’s disgusting grave turnover needs to increase by at least 2,000 a week I think Sunday lunch holds the key to solving the problem but
There’s only one thing Brian’s gravy is good for yeah we’re saying goodbye to the gloop hello to Gravy we [ __ ] hell we got some Tac okay one thing we going to do now is make a proper gravy yes when was the last time we made a proper gravy uh years ago years ago yeah fresh oil in there yeah and carrots leaks celery yeah yeah and it’s really important to make
The gravy in the tray the meat was roasted in and now stock be stock yeah bring that up to the boil right and when I when I pass this through a SI I want to see the bottom of the tray yeah nice and clean yeah what happens all the vegetables start to
Go through the SI so it naturally thickens the gravy out and look gravy this has given me a great PR idea that’s going to appeal to Brian’s eccentric personality and give the fenig arms the Boost it so desperately needs the penny dropped for me today you know that why can’t this place become
Famous for gravy brilliant idea look at these things they’re amazing you’ve got the amazing potential to have a fantastic Sunday lunch bring back real gravy this place will be [ __ ] heaving how yes how you go you get on the street and you just announce okay that you you’ve got a campaign to launch
Real gravy at the [ __ ] arms yes a campaign to launch real gravy hey it sounds a little bit [ __ ] D but why can’t you just turn it around and get out on the street with the team yeah yes give us a word yes we will launch the campaign
Rip as I hoped Brian is well and truly sold on the campaign join the campaign for real gravy join the fenic arms for real gravy his troops are armed with Yorkshire puddings and jugs of gravy and we’re ready to hit the streets of Kirby longsdale Yorkshire pudding and just a
Little bit of gravy there Campa for real gravy sir real gravy there we are no more jeo no more sauces real gravy no more syrups no more vinegar just real traditional British graving bollock St Fisto focks to mgy the campaign for real gravy starts at the Ben
Captain the center of the universe for real gravy nice goody we wanty we wanty we want realy great Word of Mouth publicity is unbeatable and Brian and the team have done a brilliant job making damn sure the fenic arms is the Tor of the town we
Want gravy we want gravy not just any gravy but the real gravy we relaunch tomorrow and when word spreads about the real gravy the pub should be packed out there you are join our campaign real gravy it’s my last day and there’s still a lot to do before tonight’s relaunch First
Impressions count so there’s no point launching a big PR campaign if the place looks a dump when the punters get here have a look at that sign it cheapens the place and it just sends the wrong messages you know that huh and I want to see the fenig arm so that Banner you
Know that’s got to go and the whole place just needs sprucing up a little bit jet hose the front and just get it nice and vibrant while the front of house team spruce up the exterior I’ve suggested to Brian that he gets back on eBay and starts selling off his huge Crockery Collection I’ve got 10 of those and they’re starting off at 46 good each tonight we’re relaunching the fenic arms has a Great British pub the real gravy campaign has done the trick bookings have been pouring in all day good afternoon Fric arms on a normal Tuesday night Brian and elae would be
Lucky to get 20 customers but there’s already 88 booked in for tonight’s relaunch 8:00 yeah we could maybe do it going on towards half past in the kitchen I’ve put together a new menu of No Nonsense tasty British pub favorites there’s hearty PE and ham soup and the
Alltime classic a simple porn cocktail few porns in the middle yeah what’s the secret behind the porn cocktail good porns good pawns lovely Mar rose sauce and a little bit of Apple the Apple and the lettuce yeah just really make it nice and zesty all these dishes use great ingredients prepared simply and
Presented without fuss just like this pressed ham tarine when you think about something like a PUO it’s it’s rustic so keep the food rustic yeah so in terms of presentation dots and [ __ ] bits and bobs get it on there that’s it end the story it’s time to show Brian and Elaine
Their new menu I’ve replaced their complicated fussy food with 25 classic Pub dishes surprise surprise simple straightforward honest British pub food yeah and nothing too quirky I’m well impressed roast rib of beef stunning yoran puddings Jugger gravy fish and chips beautiful sausage and mash Lancashire hot pot and apple and
Blackberry crumble I’m proud of what I can see the secret behind this menu here and being completely traditional in terms of pub food is just the speed it can fly out it yeah with two sittings in the dining room the chefs will be under pressure but it’s Brian and Elaine I’m worried
About if they can’t relax and speed up the service we’ll be screwed do we say our pray now I’m shaking like a leap inside I don’t know whether on this planet next planet but I’m definitely on a traditional Pub Planet he better be the pub is packed out tonight but if
Brian and Elaine are going to start paying off their huge debts this can’t be a oneoff 60 minutes from the start of the main course game two roast beef first t did you wait long No 5 minutes perfect gravy you happy with gravy your pudding fantastic so far so good the kitchen
Seems to be coping well under pressure right done about 40 yeah over halfway yeah keep it going yes but out front there’s a disaster waiting to happen the bar is full of people waiting to be seated Brian and Elaine haven’t got the first customers off tables yet what you’re finding harder to
Transition it’s not a restaurant it’s a pub y so don’t be scared after 1 1 hour 55 minutes would you mind takeing coffee in the bar or come have drink in the bar change those tables if you don’t do that in the next 15 minutes we’re going to be in the [ __ ]
[ __ ] have you got a Bild for table that one it’s been touch and go but at last the second sitting at their tables the fenic arms is buzzing the real gravy is being lapped up and traditional pub food has hit the spot I had roast beef and it was so
Gorgeous with real gravy on it nice lovely if Brian and Lane can keep up the pace they might just pull this off I mean hell it’s it’s a lot of excitement the adrenaline is absolutely pounding through me evening all everything fine evening he fine it’s been a huge success and finally the
Pennies dropped for Brian he’s realized that the kitchen runs better without him they’ve done it I’ve not been there I’ve not had to come in and where’s this where’s that where the other and I am just so proud of them all wow what a night at times this week I’ve seriously
Doubted it was possible but tonight the fenic arms has been transformed from a stuffy dining room into a vibrant packed Pub how much money do we take the till y tells me we’ve done 2,447 yes get in there £ 2,000 more than last on the lunch Brian what does that tell you
Changing the menu and doing it simpler y has worked yeah well since I’ve been here that was the first night I witnessed all of you running a pub and I’m not going to come back back to what I came and saw a week ago yes no you’re
Not no um there was one little problem I found a Barbie plate please Eddie wrap it up in clim film dig a hole and hide it yes promise me y good man go Edie oh no [Applause] Eddie it’s a year since I was last at the fenic house arms and there’s been bad news a rival Pub has just opened down the road The Highwayman my goodness me that’s serious competition beautiful two great writeups and literally 5 minutes from Brian’s doorstep so he must be [ __ ]
Himself right where is the little [ __ ] hello how are you my darling good to see you good to see you too um where is he upstairs no it’s catching up it’s what we call a catch up this on the computer no where is he cleaning his
Oven he’s in the kitchen yeah I don’t believe it for God’s sake how are you buddy I’m fine you be busy fantastically so I mean from when you first came um we were doing about 23 to 40 on a Sunday and now we’re up to I think the most
We’ve done is about 260 260 on a Sunday in one in one day tables Christ almighty the campaign for real gravy has brought them into profit and their debt is slowly being paid but The Highwayman could still Rob them of their success how are you surviving with that
Competition on your doorstep now are your customers going there yes yes the first Sunday they opened I think we we did about a 100 that day instead of the S of 200 we’d expected whilst I’m very happy to see you you look Dreadful you look absolutely [ __ ] yeah I get tired
Oh dear Brian’s still cooking 3 days a week but he’s not the only bit of knad old chint that’s back in the kitchen they were gone you told me you were selling them all well we sold quite a lot what’s Bing out the back here no we don’t use
Anything else Gordon there got to be plat wrapped up in clim film somewhere under your pillow no no oh my God what are they for strawberries elain strawberries oh my God what are they for lemon tarts I think strawberries lemon tarts yep yes the menu is also slipping backwards it’s
Simple but no longer seasonal it’s June and there five pies on that sound as old and crusty as Brian a state and kidney mushroom pie robust fish pie a language of cheese and onion pie a herwick mutton and pearl barley pie suroy cabbage and smoked bacon pie winter then me one dish
On there that would blow my mind away for an Summer’s lunch in a pub don’t know come on guys I’ve ordered the mutton pie just what you want when it’s 30° outside the pie looks something like you’d really want to eat but not in the middle of summer middle of winter what a
Shame who’s responsible for all these pies in the kitchen Chris is the only remaining Chef on the original team there’s so many pies on them in here five of them we’re in the middle of summer Bri wrote it he came in one night and it was like right this is a menu you
Doing from tomorrow he’s [ __ ] unbelievable this guy you know that if you had the choice what would you want to see on the menu in a perfect world uh soon as it’s summer some salads it makes sense doesn’t it yet again Brian is refusing to see sense By ignoring his

Serving charcoal for dessert we could be doing better he’s stubborn as a mule it’s not black you’re [ __ ] defensive and your [ __ ] ego going defend my food he stands me up and the sun’s gone to his head packet of crisps and a bag of fruit gums Lawrence are you [ __ ] mad why not
[ __ ] Hell cadel Souls B for the first time I’m abroad on a special mission to rescue a failing British run restaurant during the summer months thousands of Brits will invade the Mediterranean Coastline and spend their hard-earned cash and deated for the masses more and more British restaurants are opening on
The Costa Campion chips sausage and chips fish and chips barbecue chicken F me get it right here and you could be sitting on a gold mine how many p of chips would you serve per week roughly we probably do in excess of 100 portions
A day so 7 800 a week how are the chips very good yeah what would you do if I ban chips from here I would not be too happy at all would you not come no probably not this is English totally and it’s good English is there anything on the ca that
Doesn’t come with chips one more steak garnish please and a lamb shank I’ll get that what restaurant owner who thought he spotted a gap in the market is 26-year-old Brit Lawrence Davy 18 months ago he borrowed £40,000 from his dad and open laara the Burana 200 M from the beach in the coastal Resort of n this restaurant has great potential to be very successful and very popular um it’s in a great location but I’ve been doing it for a year and a half
Now and I haven’t seen any success whatsoever armed with his Kate and degree and a few years managing nightclubs and restaurants Lawrence designed a Mediterranean menu with a Twist to lure the Brits away from their egg and chips my particular favorite King prawns in garlic and ginger and chili served
With our signature chocolate sauce on the side not very popular um which kind of proves The Adventurous side of my customers with the prawns in chocolate sauce failing to win round the Brits he lost 22 Grand in his first year I don’t know whether I went about it the
Wrong way or whether people don’t want it or aren’t ready for it I don’t know since then he’s broadened his menu to a massive 72 dishes cooking everything from Chinese chicken to Turkish kebabs I’ve even serve chicken nugget and chips to an adult and I absolutely hate it I really hate
It but with Takens down on last year he’ll be lucky to survive the summer let alone the winter I’m in Spain to stop laara from going under hello hi Hi how are you Hi very well how are you very well law yes it is good to
See you and you when did it start going really quiet when did it um we suddenly snapped about September last year suddenly just went you know the light as if the light was switched off um and it was just it just died um ever since then we’ve been losing money what did you
Know about restaurants before you opened it um I said I did my degree did my internship in America in terms of that’s training in terms of sure sure um it was a nightclub in shelham and then became restaurant manager of a big Resturant in London and that’s when I’ve like really
Said you know I’m doing it I’m doing really well I’m succeeding in every you know what I’m doing why can’t I do it for myself they need it they need me in nura they really need me to do great stuff yeah and now you’re 26 Y and in
The [ __ ] [ __ ] yeah how bad in the [ __ ] I’m €12,000 in debt €12,000 yeah so 7 Grand yeah so the new is ready on your neck I’ve either got to make it here or go back to London and pay back my father [ __ ] signature dishes or what would you
Say signature dishes um we do a grap prawns dish with a chocolate sauce which I’ve done from day one prawns with chocolate sauce PRS with chocolate sauce yes so star and dessert at the same time well F me that sounds different right let’s see what a former
Nightclub manager has to offer the Brits abroad huge menu extraordinary menu um and then different themes flamco Burger KN Keat menu Chinese chicken or pork confused what the [ __ ] going on if I’d wanted a Chinese I would have gone to one but I’m in Spain let’s hope Len’s signature dish of prawns in
Chocolate sauce gives me the flavor of the med cool dear I mean it’s worse than a chocolate sauce it’s um hot overs spicy chili chocolate sauce but that’s just stupid arrogance forun trying to match something that’s never going to go if that’s how Lawrence stes it fresh
Local prawns then I wonder what he’s got in store for my phet steak Kebab well he’s gone for the Kebab which is why W Factor dish when you know it comes out on the hook so I think he gets to see that bit of what we do yeah [ __ ] me is
That how they always serve oh Jesus [ __ ] me it’s the kind of thing you imagine Jordan eating with her [ __ ] hands behind her back is someone taking the piss how can you expect something like that and that to be cooked at the same time a fet stank
Cabat may not sound that exciting but it should taste delicious and that in terms of presentation looks like a p of [ __ ] if I thought my Kebab was overcooked that’s nothing compared to what’s happening to my creme catalana what all that smoke coming out of the kitchen is from your dessert
Dessert from my dessert it’s just when they they burn the top burn the top well not burn the look burn the kitchen down [ __ ] me what it’s certainly burned it looks like a [ __ ] ice hockey Park look at it comes with an appointment at the dentist tomorrow morning at 9:30 [ __ ]
Me it’s liquid and it’s it’s ruined so when you sat with all these fresh ingredience on your doorstep and the climate they’ve got the simpler it is the better it’s going to be unfortunately they’ve got more complicated and tried to be clever and completely lost the [ __ ] plot
The first rule for running a restaurant in Spain is don’t ruin good produce with fancy gimmicks good food will always sell itself Lawrence’s novelty dishes may have been designed to turn heads but all it’s done for me is turn my stomach prawns the flavor of the prawns was extraordinary fresh vibrant why do
You want to [ __ ] around and put chocolate sauce on there um cuz I don’t want to be boring I want to be excited I thought it was [ __ ] hideous didn’t work but then I came to this [ __ ] schlong that Kebab have you actually ever sat at the table and watched six
Customers with this [ __ ] donkey dick swinging in front of their face it’s hilarious well that is that that is is you know it’s a talking point it’s it’s a it’s a w Factor that’s a w Factor yeah it’s a fet steak Yeah it was tough as
Old boots I don’t know you know before you start [ __ ] mouthing up let me just show you a cube that big and a cube that big I’m not going to cook the same time that’s my fault oh [ __ ] me here we go can I just finish the sentence first
Simbad and then you can [ __ ] come back on me in a minute that out there was embarrassing so it’s painful if it’s painful for me and you’re 102,000 [ __ ] Euros in the [ __ ] [ __ ] knows how you sleep at night I don’t you know I feel so [ __ ] about the whole thing but
Deep down I really want it to work and I want my dream to come true you’re in Spain you don’t have to be that [ __ ] quirky to be good good I’ll see you in the morning I’ve certainly got my work cut out I get the feeling nightclub boy
Isn’t going to give up his novelty dishes without a fight prawns and chocolate sauce Me for the first time I’m in Spain on a mission to turn around a failing British run restaurant former Nightclub and restaurant manager Lawrence Davy came to Nar to conquer the Costa he thought his novelty dishes of swinging kebabs and prawns and chocolate sauce would win
Over the egg and chips loving Brits but the Brits aren’t biting and after sampling his food I can see why Lawrence thought he was going to come over to Spain and take it by storm he opened up at 24 years of age using his dad’s [ __ ] money he thought his balls were
Bigger than the mountains and he thought he was going to bring a Mediterranean twist with the difference he’s got all the gimmicks and he thinks by being simple it’s too plain for Spain but you’d never think he’s €12,000 in [ __ ] debt okay two chicken sauté three pitas
Morus one prawn cocktail tonight is my chance to see how leara copes with a full service with Lawrence cooking the alakat dishes alone in the kitchen his suf Norm is grilling the kebabs and steaks on the Terrace barbecue this goes up and down so I can higher or lower it
According to cooking temperatures [ __ ] it’s a very modern updated barbecue yes it’s more like a torture rack for Foods a torture rack for food he’s not Joking now in my book I think that’s well done now suffering on top of the grill are 10 Chicken Kebabs that have yet to be ordered why’ you why’ you cook me so early on I’ve only just done them are they’re cooked yeah so they’re not really barbecued are they almost like
Poached well I seal them off poached them and then finished them on the barbecue again kebabs grilled poached left sitting in the heat they hardly fresh off the barbecue but according to Norm there’s plenty of life left in them yet I usually use them tomorrow for one day
Are you out your [ __ ] mind I know I was letting myself go there but I’ve told you the truth don’t even serve those to the Stray Cats after service tonight let alone the [ __ ] customers [ __ ] now rule number two for running a restaurant in Spain tourists might have
Holiday insurance but that doesn’t mean you can give them Spanish tummy when cooking on a barbecue don’t take risks and as night falls the world of laara becomes even darker Norm looks like he’s preparing for a wake and after seeing these kebabs I wouldn’t be surprised it’s like we’re at [ __ ]
Midnight mass here you know that I know I know what’s that this is the Dynamo torch isn’t it right let see what’s going on here cooking by Clockwork torch it doesn’t get any more Mickey Mouse than this need more light out here sorry well done F Well Done fer yeah we haven’t got
That so you H know IED a finished steak about an hour ago and it hasn’t turned up yet I’m just I’m just bloodly starving hungry no the food may not be Spanish but there’s certainly something Manana about manager Alex’s service i’ sat there over now for
The main CA he’s cooking it and the plates are in there this fragmented [ __ ] service is horrendous you know that is it normal for customers to wait this long frto yeah I can’t go any quicker than I’m going I’m going as quickly as I possibly can it’s not as if I’m not
Trying he can try as hard as he likes but no Chef can cook 72 different dishes on his own to keep up with his orders Lawrence is thrown everything onto his pler grill it doesn’t get any lazier than that he’s depending on that pler Grill to cook everything from [ __ ]
Dad to kebabs to chat Bond and then this [ __ ] lazy Med vge that is the most disgusting M I’ve ever seen [ __ ] good ingredients bized he might as well open a [ __ ] greasy spoon and serve vegan chips cuz that’s [ __ ] disgusting it’s day three and the hard
Work starts here stinks if I’m to stand any chance of getting the pter out of the [ __ ] this place needs a fresh start Forks on the floor glass everywhere cigarettes chips dog [ __ ] [ __ ] me I’ve seen some unsavory things in my time Alex 2 seconds but dog [ __ ] in the dying area is
Unforgivable first thing I’ve spotted is dog [ __ ] that’s not good enough are you happy with that no I’m not happy disgusting rule number three Running a Restaurant in Spain isn’t a holiday there’s a laidback attitude the fact that we’re in Spain say we can afford to be semi casual because we’re
Dealing with tourists no are we [ __ ] we’re running a restaurant and thinking that it’s good to work in a dirty kitchen or a dirty restaurant with dog [ __ ] forget it if dog [ __ ] goes un notied then it’s no surprise the kitchen is dripping in green your friers are used a lot yeah yeah
There you go that’s what you’re cooking out of yeah every time you put in fresh in there is making [ __ ] all difference that’s sludge with the resturant having a much needed deep clean there’s something else I want to clear up last February Lawrence put on a Valentine’s dinner for the local Donkey
Sanctuary charity 100 British xats paid £ 30 ahead for a fundraising meal Rumor Has It LA’s made a complete ass of it how bad did it go I mean was it a it was a complete [ __ ] it was absolute disaster in what way um the food was overcooked dry tasteless what was the
Menu um we did the chicken liver parfait which wasn’t made until the morning so I had no time to set a chicken dish wrapped in Sano ham baked in the oven the chicken was so dry it was like carboard did he give it to him on the
House no you charged them yeah [ __ ] hell no wonder they haven’t been back you don’t have to rule number four when you’re running a restaurant in Spain don’t piss off the locals when the tourists have gone home the local XS account for 80% of your Takens in the winter months without them
A British restaurant in Spain can’t Survive gracias I’m heading into hostile territory to make peace with the natives I’m off to the local Donkey Sanctuary and hopefully after meeting them I’d want to see if there’s any chance they actually come back and give the restroom one more [ __ ] chance gracias all I know about donkeys is they’re stubborn
This isn’t going to be easy I’m fascinated to get to the bottom of what actually happened on that fundraising dinner in terms of big event I mean not be fun it was a sort of meal that you were all waiting the next day to have a
Very nasty trip into the toilet what was the menu chicken stuffed with banana supposed to be served with Asus yes banana and asparagus it was supposed to be his signature dish not another one with a [ __ ] Twist on there this became cancerous is it because it spread
Like wildfire across the town oh yeah actually he quite arrogant about the whole thing if he thinks he can survive in a small town like this with that attitude it’s got another thing coming have you been back say no charging a local charity for a bad meal smacks of unbelievable
Arrogance Lawrence might have come to Spain to offer the Brit something different but so far all he’s given them is pretentious novelty food I’m going to give him a taste of his own medicine have a taste of that smell first maybe a little taste first up a chocolate and prawn
Smoothie based on Lawrence’s signature dish what’s that taste of Lawrence chocolate yeah you smell chocolate be and then it tastes like um cookies cookies taste that one again no thanks I think it’s [ __ ] horrible okay um next a chicken and banana smoothie based on the dish he served at the
Donkey Sanctuary dinner there’s a texture in there which it’s quite stringy stringy string it says stringy texture it’s a banana and string minut banana and something horrible in it again mine folds off the first one it’s [ __ ] prawns and chocolate could you taste the prawn there um well I knew there was something
In there that was not very nice you didn’t get it what I’m trying to say if you got the best of prawns let them [ __ ] Taste of prawn don’t let them taste of prawn and chocolate this is the most painful smoothie cuz it’s the chicken and banana and it’s the [ __ ]
The dish that managed to piss off the locals at the Donkey Sanctuary [ __ ] ch event what the [ __ ] were you thinking about putting banana and chicken together tell me so I can help you okay um it was just using like a South American kind of influences in when
Roasting chicken you didn’t [ __ ] tell me the truth about the banana no it’s not just mixing prawns with chocolate and chicken with banana that’s the problem it’s the other 70 dishes on Lawrence’s huge menu sit down I want to replace it with a dozen dishes that you
Can cook easily to stop the tourist waiting hours for their dinner happen have you have you come to terms with you know trying to restrict the menu every time I try to think about it I think of the people that have asked for this those particular items and why I
Shouldn’t take them off I do get some return customers so must be doing something right but where are these [ __ ] then cuz I’ve been here for three nights and the Trot and I don’t see the [ __ ] return business you give me the impression in such a short period of time I’ve known
You that I’ve got a young man that’s playing with his dad’s money trying to [ __ ] run a restaurant that’s the impression I get well I think that’s wrong cuz I believe in what I’m doing is right if I didn’t I wouldn’t be doing it I couldn’t
Do this [ __ ] menu on my own with 72 dishes on there Lawrence is refusing to reduce his huge menu but it’s the only way he’ll ever cope with a busy restaurant it’s time to prove my point for tonight’s service I’ve divided a three course Mediterranean menu that
Will fly out the kitchen and get customers served quickly a gaspacho soup barbecued chicken with a warm potato salad and a roasted caramelized Peach what’s the twist there is my twist it’s all [ __ ] local that’s it there’s no twist there Y tonight customers will order from Lawrence’s alicart menu but
When he falls behind he’ll switch to mine and that will show him how quick he can serve customers I just want him to have that emergency menu yeah at the Forefront of his mind set his ego apart get that back in London and for him to concentrate on sort of accomplishing a
Fully booked service with no complaints got an order for chocolate prawns he said you know earlier no one wants to buy chocolate prawns thinks it’s [ __ ] stupid idea first order that came in chocolate prawns and carrot soup so um it’s 9:00 and the orders from Lawrence’s
Huge menu of 72 dishes are now flooding in but it’s already starting to go wrong medium yes yeah look look look it’s raw it’s not pink it’s raw it’s raw it’s red raw all I want you to do is just cook a [ __ ] Kebab properly that’s all I want to do yeah
Please right you in control yeah yeah yeah that I’m not going to taste that yet but it looks burnt Lawrence needs to push the button now and replace his menu with my menu if he’s to avoid a repeat of last night’s Fiasco you want to push the button no no
No seriously no no seriously yeah no you sure yes yeah hey this has nothing to do with your bollocks and size of your [ __ ] is it no Lawrence’s reluctance to use my emergency menu means it’s the customers who suffer and if I’m dead honest with you the lamb is everyone’s saying the
Lamb’s bone dry it’s apping really really is apping yeah what happened to that one there not hot enough for them that’s not good that’s raw but the complain was that it’s cold yeah it’s cold because it’s what why when meals start coming back Lawrence finally cracks right you all
Right yeah you are yes yeah I’ve called your menu away you’ve called it away yeah it’s all done all you have to call it away hey Norman’s just got to put the [ __ ] chicken on the barbecue nothing more yes thank you for pushing the [ __ ] Buton pushing out my emergency menu
Should have been idiot proof but they’ve left it too late and in the hands of Dum and dummer it descends into fast put in 25 minutes ago yeah and I’m still TR away cuz I’ve had to send food out I can’t stop start stop start I’m
Doing my next order which is two po cabs and the chicken cab no don’t I just ask you yeah yeah I’m going to brush it I’m looking for the cloth la come on if there the time I need to pull your finger out now is right now you know
That hey I know yeah I’ve got two pork kebabs to make here but why are we serving pork when we’ve got the emergency menu on I don’t know ask the waiter [ __ ] there’s little point in asking restaurant manager Alex you you guys on top of that how are your tables do I
Need to go to any tables at all he’s so confused as to who’s ordered what he’s now serving food to tables with no one on them no they should be here but they’re not here right okay go back to the Kitchen this place right now is the biggest [ __ ] hole in Spain it’s [ __ ] embarrassing cadell [ __ ] all at its best it’s the worst meal we’ve ever had it’s qu to 12 now we we got here at half 9 we just finished the main course so has been a long
Wait with customers warn out from waiting meal’s been sent back and now refunds been handed out surely even Lawrence can see that by sticking to his stupid menu he’s only got himself to blame I’m speechless so I I I I I don’t know what to say let’s get to the Crux
Lawrence um I think Norman was put on the fighting much pressure tonight you know he your menu made him plate up his own plates and do the starters and the cold soups out there on the barie and he couldn’t manage slowed him down too much um you’re telling me that my menu [ __ ]
Him up on the grill he couldn’t he couldn’t deal with it couldn’t deal with what putting a [ __ ] bowl of soup out already made for him that was yeah it was shown when are you guys going to stop [ __ ] around with excuses when’s one of you going to step forward with a
Pair of bollocks and give me some [ __ ] honesty cuz I know where you were cuz that was [ __ ] shocking let me tell you something you made a [ __ ] good decision you pushed the button whether you like it or not it was too [ __ ] late an hour and a half late so whose
[ __ ] fault is it now Chef I’m [ __ ] out of here [ __ ] yourself Well he wanted me to be honest I told him what I thought yeah maybe I should have led with the whole with his whole menu but that’s hindsight hindsight has never even done this [ __ ] Project it’s day five and there’s storm clouds over leada I’ve never felt as bad about a restaurant as I did last night and when I walked out I wasn’t sure I’d be coming back pissing out but just when I thought things couldn’t get any worse there was
A Breakin and nearly £4,000 were stolen from the premises overnight morning how you do yeah fine um first of all sorry to hear about the news [ __ ] out it’s not good it’s not good at all how much was it 5 and 12,000 years 5 and half thousand
Years hey she’s not happy either well she’s not much of a [ __ ] guard dog is she hey um and where’s the where’s the safe it’s not so much a safe but a cash tin in a filing cabinet they’ve left the small notes they just took the big ones
Why would you leave 5 and a half Grand in there the most important rule for any restaurant owner anywhere in the world is always put your takings in the bank Jesus Christ I’ve got to think long and hard whether I can actually continue without that money and now that may be
The Clincher that you know I won’t be able to make it it’s not just a failing restant I’m dealing with but an owner about to book his flight home if ever there was a time for Lawrence to realize that I’m here to help it’s now you know it’s your
Pride that you’ve got to stop [ __ ] worrying about cuz how [ __ ] proud are you going to feel that [ __ ] Malaga airport with your bags what are you going to do I don’t go through that kind of [ __ ] to [ __ ] help turn a restaurant around I can’t do it without
You I’ve only one more chance to get through to Lawrence and get him listening to me You wouldn’t go into a ball ring without taking clear instruction from someone who knows what they’re talking about Lawrence Raa listen to this man for the next five minutes because um he’s going to show you some very very crucial moves if Lawrence continues to ignore my
Advice he may lose his restaurant but if he ignores Matador Raphael he could lose his balls big [ __ ] Tes for lawence now he’s got to stand on his own two feet and show me as the Spanish would say your konas show me you’ve got a pair of
Bollocks and [ __ ] use them have you got your konas sh yeah no problem where where currently tucked up Inside [ __ ] hell where’s your oh it’s a [ __ ] it’s it’s just a a [ __ ] storm don’t think um Spanish PS like me very much what am I doing oh [ __ ] hell that’s good sign one thing he doesn’t need now is stubborn us here we go get off your ass come on get Up I’m not doing that come on get out of here come on hey with Lawrence carefully listening to Raphael’s expert advice he starts to get the hang of it you know I won one rule number six Running a Restaurant in Spain is a risky business it pays to
Listen to some expert advice [ __ ] scary now yeah how’d you feel um I feel like your Point’s been proven in a very big way you have a big pair of konas now just [ __ ] use them yeah well done get some water yeah [ __ ] hell now I’ve got Lawrence listening I
Need to get him cooking like a proper Chef every night Lawrence Cooks everything on this plch of Grill to save time as a result it all tastes the same fishing me meat and Meaty veg I’m going to show Lawrence that in the time it takes him to cook a whole seab bream on
His grill he could fillet it fry it and make a simple Mediterranean sauce what I’m trying to do lawence yeah is make your life [ __ ] easier you know that yeah and whilst I’m still waiting for yours I’ve just got a an orange a lemon a pink grapefruit fresh
Ble are you cooked yet almost out and on now I’m not trying to be some jumped up [ __ ] SMY ass little [ __ ] I’m just trying to explain you’re busting your bollocks the wrong way around I know which one you can do 10 times quicker and a thousand times
Better don’t be scared to use a pan okay he’s drilled into me my pride and you know my arrogance has really sh through and been a bit of an about it and bit stubborn and you know I’m I’m really now excited that he’s here I really want to
Learn and and get this place moving the penny might have dropped but now I’ve only got two days to put things right out with the old yeah in with a new [ __ ] bin them yeah we’re short of coal tonight with Lawrence finally letting go of his huge menu it’s time for a new
Beginning in its place I’ve created a small Mediterranean menu using local produce five starters including figs and Serano ham and watermelon with feta cheese and six Ms including a pan fried sea bream and a barbecued chicken on a warm potato salad actually cooking properly that feels absolutely fantastic at last
Limited menu fresh ingredients absolutely amazing the menu will offer Brit something or authentic fresh and above all quick to prepare and in reducing 72 dishes to 15 Service couldn’t be any simpler for restaurant manager Alex okay what about this table here 8:30 booking I’ve just take the order
Now okay good okay let’s go yeah the menu’s simpler a lot easier we can do volume now now we got a chance to put the [ __ ] thing right it’s my final night and it’s the relaunch of lear’s new menu okay I’ve only got one shot at this and I can’t afford any
Mistakes changing you tonight yeah you’re yeah you’re coming off that barbecue yeah I want you connected to the owner as a sous chef okay that’s my decision I’m sticking to it I’m putting suf Norm in the kitchen prepping cold starters and pot washer Tom will take his place on the
Barbecue it’s a gamble but I’m confident Tom will send the meat out cooked all you have to do is take the chicken off the barbecue yep and put it onto the plate and send it yeah sure good you gu it this evening isn’t just about launching a new menu it’s about
Lawrence regaining his reputation with the British xack Community 6 months ago he hosted a funraising dinner for the local Donkey Sanctuary serving Frozen starters and chicken stuff with banana it was a fiasco tonight I convinced them to come back thanks it’s very nerve-racking having them here because I know how much I
Upset them last time and I know how much distaste they have for the restaurant in general right donkey San just sat down yes yep okay we’re on there St now treat that table like a time bomb the starters arrived for the Donkey Sanctuary but just when I thought it was all going to
Plan Alex has forgotten to serve the wine how we put the starters down without serving the wine um of all tables come on at 9:00 the restaurant’s full but bizarrely there’s a backlog of people waiting for tables it’s Alex’s responsibility to get them seated but he’s flapping around like a headless
Chicken what’s going on with this [ __ ] table that’s waiting the bar for so long table six Table Six yeah I dou booked at you see at the start of the night and I had to tell them that you know we need to have the table back who
Did you tell you need the table back the customer the customer what about the [ __ ] kitchen they need to know first cuz they got to cook it yeah so move your ass Alex has simply got greedy and thinking they can turn tables around in an hour as a result people are turning up
For the reservations but have nowhere to sit and in the Kitchen Lawrence is now struggling with a backlog of orders the donkey centry table on top of all that Alex has now gone into meltdown Alex get a grip Alex you can do it Alex it you can [ __ ] do
It we’re waiting on you I know you waiting on me and I really appreciate this this is [ __ ] critical you know go come on Alex please we waited for 40 minutes for starter then sat with dirty plates for 45 minutes and then we were asked to
Leave the table because the next lot of U guests arrive five place here 1 2 3 4 five five five although Under Pressure Lawrence is at least coping with my reduced menu yep you got three Sano three watermelon yep finish us off in a minute soon as I get these
Out I can only be grateful that Lawrence got the Donkey Sanctuary main courses out before the [ __ ] hit the fan the food is actually very good um I think everybody’s quite pleased with the food if he can come up with this sort of deal yes we’ll be back again but the service
Lees leaves quite a little bit to be desired I think a lot more work on the service it’s the end of the evening and Lawrence’s cooking has been a success but Alex’s double booking madness has let everyone down we’re So Close Alex so close you can do better I know I can do
Better you can do better I know I can do better turn around and tell him that he’s paying your salary [ __ ] tough nine a real tough nine 87 covers and it was a struggle and the service was [ __ ] pretty dismal however the Donkey Sanctuary have confirmed they’re going to come back
That speaks volumes that means the local community are now back on their side and quite frankly you can’t ask for a more crucial time for them to support it because we’re just about to come out the summer season and enter the [ __ ] winter and without their support they won’t get through the winter
In 6 days I’ve finally seen a change at leada but once I’ve gone Lawrence is only four weeks until the end of the season to make the money that will help him survive the winter remember do not cut Corners don’t make a [ __ ] ass of yourself that’s gone that is [ __ ] gone goodbye
Okay my only hope Le par doors will still will be open when I Return last time I was in Spain laara was a bloody nightmare I left them a Mediterranean menu that should have seen them through the winter but if anyone could mess it up it was Lawrence and Alex now I’m back I’m dying to see if the [ __ ] place is still
Open laara is open and it’s busy [ __ ] me look at you how are you you’re right buddy you yeah very well very good to see you and you how’s it been it’s been very very good um we’re on average about 50% up sometimes double each mon yeah congratulations thank you very much what
A turnaround Lawrence was losing £22,000 a year but with the xats propping up their winter trade he’s pulled in a 33 Grand profit there are all the positives what’s the negatives don’t I haven’t expanded yet is that what’s on the cards hope so yeah already yeah two or three
Of these now would be nice that’s great news providing this one’s working perfectly yeah definitely a second restaurant this one has a lot to live up to Lawrence’s new menu has no stupid twists but I’m in Spain so I’m dying for something native there doesn’t seem to
Be much Spanish influence going on right right good see you too mate when I left the menu was bursting with local vibrant flavors but now I’m faced with Italian pasta and the old Spanish CL bread and butter pudding bread and butter pudding bread butter pudding nice
One is that oh if we get so many compliments on that really it’s delicious yeah yeah Alex has a new team in place for the summer season norm and Tom have moved on and the service has improved thank you my but the food hasn’t these kind of things you’d expect absolutely perfect
And they’re not pasta is like mush almost like a puree I would even serve it to a baby not good greasy way overcooked and [ __ ] tasteless if these boys want to open another restaurant they’re having a laugh speciality of the house is still cremated desserts burned B pudding on
The bottom you think a year down the line we could be doing better where is he kitchen right um I came really thinking the place is going to be closed arrive it’s open busy and I’m so [ __ ] happy but unfortunately not very happy with the food I looked at the menu I
Thought [ __ ] there’s nothing I think authentic I think Spanish pasta was absolutely shocking cooked to [ __ ] why is it so mush truthfully now if I cook get Al Dente I get more sent back you get it sent back most of my customers like it overcooked Lawrence come on [ __ ] out
I’m not going to [ __ ] listen to you telling me that overcooked pasta is what they want in Spain come on why and it’s perfect that it’s here why is my bread and butter pudding [ __ ] black on the bottom you’re not going to tell me that that’s what they
Want as well now surely you’re lying it’s not black you’re [ __ ] defensive and your [ __ ] I’m going to defend my food you think I’m just going to sit and go yeah it’s all burnt sorry [ __ ] I’m not going to do that I’m being honest right and I’m being honest there’s a
Customer in here say the best bread P you ever had mine was full of burnt [ __ ] raisins just have a little taste of that okay no no no no no I I love the way you no no I want you to taste it you taste that I’ll eat it with you okay
Okay sry right Lawrence still can’t admit when he’s wrong and I can’t stomach [ __ ] he soon confesses that while the evenings are busy lunchtime trade is dead we should be busy for lunch we should be yeah we’ve tried our hardest past two months been open every every lunch time and it just hasn’t
Worked it hasn’t kicked off at all everyone wants to be on the beach you’ve got Ambitions of opening other restaurants but 5 years fully booked every [ __ ] day before I open my second restaurant to make sure that we’re [ __ ] solid customers are happy and we are doing it right this is so
Frustrating rule seven of running a restaurant is don’t get get ahead of yourself only when restaurant one is perfect can a second be considered I’ve only got a few hours tomorrow till I fly home so we’ll have to work fast it’d be nice to get everybody here for 9:00
11:30 9:00 9 [ __ ] you now unbelievable good night my darling good night princess I love ambition absolutely [ __ ] love it but in this game you’ve got to [ __ ] walk before you can run and think about a chain of La Paris [ __ ] Me I’m back at laara on the cost Soul owner Lawrence wants to open a second restaurant but he’s not perfected his first one yet his lunchtime trade is dead I’ve only got a few hours to my plain leaves so I’m going to speak to the Brits myself and find out what do
They really want to eat when in Sunny Spain when you come to Spain yeah what do you enjoy eating the most Spanish food sardines s barbecued on the beach there fish and chickens BS big pors Penny pasta not really no Spanish food Spanish food that’s why you look so fit and
Healthy have a great holiday thank you thank you ladies it’s clear what the brids want a real flavor of Spain and I’m dying to get stuck in un [ __ ] believable 9:00 in the morning busy day today and not one member of Staff here only in [ __ ] Spain afternoon morning finally: I asked
Them to be here at 9:00 it’s near at 10: late on time on time I was Spanish BS absolute BS lunchtime trade was never going to pick up by replacing my Spanish Infuse menu with dishes that just aren’t native I can’t wait to hear their other ideas
Pups do take we lunches a packet of crisps and a bag of fruit gums you’re having a [ __ ] laugh aren’t you fruit gums oh m l are you [ __ ] mad why not [ __ ] hell no fruit gums mushy pasta I have to show Lawrence he’s got the wrong idea about what his customers
Want I’m challenging Lawrence to a cook off on the beach in front of all the tourists pasta versus Pella with only the most popular dish going on the lunchtime menu you got your Speedos it will drum up good publicity for laara and remind Lawrence what the Brits are hungry for his tasteless pen
Or my authentic Spanish Pella a recipe he needs to learn first thing what would you put in there onions garlic shizo shitzo yeah gives that really nice golden color onions with the onions garlic and chicken in the Smoky Aroma will have every mouth of the beach watering in go red peppers saffron and
Spanish Cherry vinegar gives it sort of dep brings out the flavor of the chicken so just round the outside so riceing nice in Go Local prawns and stock add fresh squid clams and let the flavors of Spain fuse together wow that looks and smells fantastic thank you have a little taste see that
Nice dark Rich color [ __ ] delicious sorry y don’t in front of the girls the pile is nearly ready Lawrence just needs to fry up his ropey pen pen pasta cooked out good excellent and we’ll see which dish the tourists prefer are you hungry bloody Hy take some
P as I thought the Brits are going local for proper Spanish Pella best Pella we P delicious and Lawrence’s dreary pasta is coming in second you can Have you know they’re in Spain so is preference isn’t it Lawrence has realized what his customers want and now we can push for some bookings Would You Walk 200 M to get a piler like that yes defin I’ll see you for lunch tomorrow okay now you’re in Spain would you come
For a bowl of pasta or would you come for a Pella why would you come for pasta cuz we get that in Italy exactly see so there’s the next rest you can open up in Italy yes there Pastor There back at the ranch with 30 bookings for a late lunch the flavor of Spain is back on the menu another but I have a little forfeit up my sleeve for Lawrence Lawrence and I had a competition today on the beach sadly Lawrence lost and part of losing the challenge is that
He’s now going to come up here and have a little dance come here come here come here ladies please now you’re an [ __ ] you’re an absolute [ __ ] ladies and gentlemen [Applause] Lawence now that Lawrence has regained that flavor Spain you can start thinking about his second restaurant the first one has to be perfect he has the perfect pilot so sky are the [Applause] Limit what up buddy
