Jay Rayner, the Observer’s restaurant critic for over 15 years will be appearing at the Assembly Rooms on Saturday 12 May,
Jay has written reviews of well over 700 establishments, and if there is one thing he’s learnt it is that people like reviews of bad restaurants. No, scratch that. They adore them, feast upon them like starving vultures who have spotted fly-blown carrion out in the bush.
In My Dining Hell, Jay examines our love affair with lousy reviews, rants about his most hated restaurant fads, lists some of some of the most excruciating nights out he’s ever had and – for balance – reads from some of the worst reviews his own work has ever received.
Enjoy a hugely entertaining and hilarious show in the company of one of today’s best loved food and drink journalists.
