All of the talk to date has been about the number of swear words – very few people have commented about the show itself or the outcomes – to hard to build a bridge??

Well here is the story of one Restaurant that face the wrath of Chef Gordon Ramsay and it seems, now, has come out a winner. Martin’s Bistro , well mainly the father and chef copped a hiding from Gordon Ramsay during the great British Nightmare and was on the end of at least 30 F-bombs from yours truly during the now infamous show that aired a few weeks ago.

Here’s a few choice quotes from this article – Nightmare Becomes A Dream

BUSINESS has been far from sleepy for one Okehampton restaurant — it has enjoyed a flow of customers since celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay came to town.
And since the top chef visited the bistro in Red Lion Yard the business has turned around — a new chef has been taken on and only fresh, home-made produce is used.
‘We do still use Gordon’s menus but most are our own, which we are really proud of and our customers seem to love.’
‘There is a calmer atmosphere since it was decided that Mick was to stay out of the kitchen.’
The bistro has taken on a new chef, Rose Drake-Davis, and has seen a marked improvement, continuing to impress customers with its home-made menus and local produce.
But there was a clear personality clash between Ramsay and Mick Martin, who said the London-based chef ‘always likes to come out on top’.
But Mick, 57, added: ‘My wife loves him to bits because he is passionate about food. I respect him for what he taught my daughter and helped her.
‘He could see she had talent — I know I am not a fantastic cook.’

Check out the article, it is a great read, done as only locals can!
