Was chosen to work along side (Mosimon) whom is renowned in the UK as a top Chef.

Why is it that the more famous a Restaurant becomes, the plates get bigger and the food gets smaller? Just spent a week in Cornwall and visited amongst other places Carbis Bay where the 2021 G7 Summit was held. Possibly the nicest meal of the week was at a Thai restaurant in a fishing village called Looe. The meal consisted Chicken, cashew nuts, pineapple chunks and sultanas, served with rice in a hollowed out Pineapple. Together with a locally produced bottle of Rose from the vineyard of Polgoon, may not be rich, but life gets better as one gets older.
Not this trip, but have been there previously, we visited Polperro, Fowey, St Ives and Lands End this time and stayed the week at Looe. Sunrise view from the apartment
I've been to those places except Polperro. I hope you knew how to pronounce Fowey or the locals will call you an 'Emmet'! Some visitors spend the week at Looe and others, unfortunately, the week on the loo.
Am I right to pronounce Fowey as Foy.......Emmet refers toAnt/ Ants....those who are all over the place in Summer but disappear when the weather becomes inclement. Access to Polperro is very limited due to the narrow streets, a short walk down hill from the main parking area, but so picturesque.
Yes, it is pronounced 'Foy' - you can be a Honorary Cornishman! You know Mousehole? Narrow streets/lanes - tell me about it! Driving hundred of yards in reverse up a steep lane is no joke.
