Alex English replied to Louisa Ford's discussion Food Hygiene Certificate"I have done the Level II and I think it would be sufficient to work as a commis. The higher levels are more suitable if you are in a supervisory role.
I did a face to face course, but I wished I'd done it online as it is very easy (especially…"

Yes it was superb the meal and the service was spot on. I was lucky enough to be served 2 tasting menu's one for me and one for my wife so managed to sample about 14 different dishes. I had the gariguette strawberry dish which was amazing but their version of tiramisu was also on a different level. I should have come over to say hello but its a bit awkward in a dining room like that. Glad you enjoyed it, it certainly inspired me and their kitchen was absolutely spotless when I went in and had a look. Raymond Blanc is the man!!

Hi Alex
Were you in Le Manoir for dinner on Sunday 10th April. If it wasn't you it was certainly your double. Didn't like to say anything in case it wasn't. I was sat on a table opposite.

- It was a disaster! I got all worried about it (hardly slept the night before) and then the guy I was supposed to be seeing didn't show up... But on the bright side I'm working in Valentine Warner and Paul Merrett's pop up restaurants at Taste of London this weekend.
