  15. We went to the first sitting in Hanslope Milton Keynes. Firstly – there was no table for us and had to share, met a lovely couple which made the night as the soup was cold,pasta was tasteless and cold (think it was meant to be warm)!

  19. My husband and I participated in Restaurant in your living room, although we ended up in the garden in cars! We thought we would be different like an American Drive In. A mad and totally exhausting experience but certainly one to tell the grandchildren about :)

  32. hi mo and sue, its apparently starting at the end of the month on virgin 1, the adverts are already showing for it,, thanks again for being great guests in our home, i wont tell you who won as that will ruin it for you, all i can say is that between 375 guests could not pay as the box was closed and me and tessa where to busy giving a speech but you will have to wait and see if that effected our chances, me and tess are taking a holiday in croatia at the moment, still getting over the four days of no sleep and manic running around!!

    Posted by wayne blything | September 15, 2009, 4:11 pm

  41. shame liz n tom didnt win – it was a really good night – dont think the fun atmosphere came across very well as it was more like a party and people going from room to room. they did so well in such a small kitchen too

  42. Kajal, My boyfriend and I came to your Bollywood themed night. We both thoroughly enjoyed the food and the entertainment. We both love Indian food so were well pleased when we arrived and knew it was going to be curry. We would definitely come to your restaurant again. Thanks to you, your sister and family for making us so welcome.
