I have a somewhat tumultuous relationship with Heston. Be it my regrettable meal at the now-late Dinner in Melbourne, or the time I sent a note to his room at a hotel in Sydney and didn't receive a reply. However, I had to try arguably the most expensive Sunday roast in London, at 98 quid, at his flagship Dinner property and it did not...... deliver. As I've dined at the London outpost before, and Melbourne before it closed, I opted for the classics of meat fruit and pineappl

At the conclusion of my horrific meal at Trivet, the worst I've had worldwide in the past three years, I asked a member of staff on the floor to have the GM follow up with me personally by e-mail.
