The Ship, Farnborough

Three yrs ago I left the house, a gastro pub in Islington north London, my executive chef was pushing me to go for a Michelin star, he came up under Ramsey, the house is owned by the Meridith group who also have the running footman in Mayfair, I was disillusioned by the pretentiousness and sought my own ambitions which have led. ME here via. Brixton where I set up a food operation with an old friend. And now to Farnborough where the air is clean and the county is rich with quality produce that I intend to make good use of, early days yet thanks for all your great comments I will endeavour to put my passion for food on to plenty more plates yet xxx

As the sole Chef of the duke I am upset by you B.S comment about sending back cold food, I have been BBQ food outside since that date TO ORDER so its impossible for you to have sent anything back cold as you would collect it yourself, get a life mate, I come from a fine dining background and cook to at least a 1 rosette standard on a bad day.

This pub is great!

Recently under new management with a very relaxed atmosphere and a kind of colonial feel to the decor, the beer was as beer should be, they keep that cellar well.

The duke is a grade two listed building, panelled with English oak and framed with stained glass windows that throws an array of colour on the walls when the sun streams through..

I had sausage and mash from a very balanced bar menu and would have paid double for the quality of the dish in any reputable restaurant, the chef who brought the food to my table explained to me that he came from a fine dining background and had plans to put the place on the map.

There is a large garden at the rear from which they intend to screen the football in the summer, and according to the chef the BBQ should be a riot.

Watch this space =)
