Kitchen Nightmares (UK)

Part of a 2 hour special also featuring The Dovecote/Martins Bistro. A Tapas restaurant with reheated tapas from pots and loud live music to accompany your meal, it couldn't decide if it was a nightclub or a restaurant. Head Chef Richie was fed up, to me he was the highlight of the show, and Gordon turned them around to cooking to local produce. What Happened Next: Gordon revisited (in the episode) and found an expensive set menu, they launched an assault on the chains offering a Venison pie on Pie Night. A post Gordon menu can be found here. Since Gordon left, the restaurant has been a success picking up a number of Local Awards.

Last time around Bonapartes was a class A NIGHTMARE. Over a year later and Gordon returns to see whether anything's changed. Sue Ray took over Bonapartes Wine Bar and basement Restaurant on Silsden high street just over two years ago. Pretty soon, the business was in trouble - BIG TIME. Bonapartes was dying a death: customers were thin on the ground, the competition was cleaning up and the money was running out.
