Too Many Critics 2012
Over-ebullient, self-obsessed, braggy, ill-informed, pompous, irritating … these are the mildest of the uncomplimentary epithets we chuck at food critics. And many readers would like to see them well and truly stuffed. This April, Action Against Hunger is giving you the opportunity to see the critics being humiliated by top chefs, in the professional kitchen at Hawksmoor Guildhall. Revenge will definitely be on the menu.
The Bird in Hand, Long Ashton
Long Ashton is the first village in the green belt north of Bristol, three miles from the harbourside. A reasonable walk, were it not for the manic road system in between. But to one side lies glorious Ashton Court, 850 acres of park and woodland belonging to the citizens of Bristol.

With a Michelin star, 4 AA rosettes and glowing reviews (most recently in the dead tree press from The Independent’s John Walsh and online at Andy Hayler’s blog )it would be unfair to say that Chapter One is overlooked or undervalued. But given the quality of chef Andy McLeish’s food, I’m not sure why it isn’t raved about even more.
