AA Gill's worst dining experience
Thursday, May 03, 2007  Send to a friend
There wasn't space in my AA Gill interview about restaurant criticism for this fantastic tale... Once when Gill was dining at a (now closed) Alistair Little restaurant in Notting Hill Gate, a drunk lurched in... Recalls Gill: “The layout of the place was like a train corridor with two sets of tables on each side. I was in there reviewing when this drunk reeled in through the door. Alistair went down to either eject him or give him ten quid and as he got there the man projectile vomited the entire length of the restaurant. But it was very neat, just down the central aisle. It just lay there like a foamy carpet. It was stuff that he’d eaten years ago. It was old Special Brew vomit. The smell was so terrible it's hard to know where to begin. Alistair just looked at me and went ‘Oh Fuck!’. It was such an unfair, awful mishap that I didn’t include it in my review...”
