This feels dirty
But right - it is
4.04, not a time
To eat

At Jamie Oliver's new restaurant,
Where the menu says
'Posh chips'
Truffle fried.

We both opt
Not to comment
On the garish pink
Of our leather booth

Or how fat he got
Or your mum's take
On the meaning
Of pukka.

Nice. Says a lot with a little.

The one in Brighton? We went last week - and were pleasantly surprised by what an excellent meal we had at a very reasonable price.

A writer never reveals their sources (insert mysterious beard stroke here). Yes, the one in Brighton. I had the chicken Caesar, she had the flash steak. Delicious.

I'd love to know the other meaning of pukka. Nice short piece, this. We're waiting for him to open up one of his restaurants here in Australia, just to see what the fuss is all about.

If you're still in Brighton I hope you'll come along to the readings at the Iron Duke on Waterloo Street on Friday the 8th at 7 pm. Don't be late as it only lasts an hour!
