[Rosalyn]

Would you like to attend the filming of a brand new, exciting BBC food show, taking place at The Rosendale, on Wednesday 8th April all in the name of charity.

The Programme: Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is (Working Title)

Celebrity chefs are being dragged back into the real world to prepare and cook for a restaurant full of paying customers. Going head to head, two chefs will each be offering up a starter, a main course and a dessert. Diners choose which one to order ? and at the end of the evening the chef who?s made the most profit will win the competition. All profits go to the chefs? nominated charities.

That sounds great fun!

Sounds intriguing. Do we know which celeb chefs are in attendance? Not the odious AWT I hope. I'm very interested in this.

If he is one of them, I don't think you should go, after that comment! He'd probably add something 'odious' to your hollandaise sauce or something....

This sounds super fabulous!

Approximately how much are the meals expected to be? Re AWT, why is he odious? Do you say that due to his battered/scrunched up face which was due to an accident?

[Strawbs]

I would have so loved to do this but alas I am busy.. If there are any more coming up please do post..

Apparently "the menu prices ... reflect those of the restaurant". So expect to pay about ?100 for 2 people, including a cheapo bottle of wine.

We have been there several times and had some really good meals. However, we went there most recently for Valentines day and were seated upstairs. The carpet on the stairs (which was meant to be a neutral shade) was just filthy. There were no curtains on the enormous draughty windows and it was freezing. I popped to the loo while we waited for the bill and the lock would not open on the door. I was in there for about 20 minutes before someone else came in and found me. When I told a waiter, he said "that happens all the time" dismissively!

The menu was really limited too. We were really disappointed. I hope it picks up again.

I think you would have to be really bored to do this.
