Talk:The Fat Duck

message: This article reads like an ad for the restaurant. I don't see how to fix it without removing lots of info. 81.1.76.44 18:29, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It wasn't that long ago that this restaurant was voted best restaurant in the world. Many reviewers obviously think so. While it does sound like an ad, in this case it's not far at all from the truth. Leave the article as is, I say. --Commking 08:06, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I think a link to Square Meal would be appropriate for this article because they provide an independent guide to restaurants around the UK, and the site also has a review of The Fat Duck restaurant and chef Heston Blumenthal.

text: Under Wikipedia guidelines in Wikipedia:External links you should not directly add links to sites with which you are affiliated; it is considered a conflict of interest. However, you may, on the discussion page of pages, suggest a link. Wikipedia editors are likely to respond negatively, however, to anything they see as targeting multiple articles with links to the same site. There does not seem to be anywhere to propose this, unfortunately, and Wikipedia doesn't seem to have an overall policy on whether reviews (of anything) are desirable as links. It may be worth seeking advice on Wikipedia:Help desk. It may also be worth seeking some citations to back up "highly regarded" - e.g. newspaper reports, if you seek to set yourself apart from the countless other restaurant review sites.

message: The UK doesn't have "Zip codes", nor does any country outside the US. The table must mean "Postcode".
Also, the table wrongly assumes that everything is in a "City". Bray is barely even a town. Labelling the location heading as "Town/City" would look less stupid. 92.18.217.163 (talk) 19:21, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

message: The article says that the recent food poisoning scare has caused The Fat Duck to close indefinitely yet the referenced article makes no mention of this. Can we change to 'closed until further notice pending an investigation' or something?

message: Is it appropriate to say fuck in this article? I don't want to use weasel words, but it seems to me that anyone who knows what a spoonerism is can work it out themselves. How about "a risqué spoonerism"? SimonTrew (talk) 17:06, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

message: I edited The Fat Duck#Menu so that "Mad Hatter's Tea Party (c. 1892)" mentions its side dish of toast sandwichs. Likewise, I've included a subsection on the "Toast sandwich" article for The Fat Duck inclusion as a menu item.--DrWho42 (talk) 00:41, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  foiegras cruelty 

message: This restaurant famously had 3*s but due to technical reasons (i.e. closed for renovation at time of assessment) rather than more conventional (food/experiece) reasons, this restaurant was omitted from the 2016 guide, thus technically 'losing' its status as a 3* restaurant. Pretty shocking that something this significant that happened 11 months ago wasn't on the article. I fully appreciate this is probably a temporary measure, but haven't put this as it would just be unfounded speculation by a non-expert editor. Feel free to amend to reflect this fairly using info that meets WP:IRS (but I feel the fact it lost them - with the explanation - is justified). If we're following an annual cycle, and my guess is accurate, I think this will become moot in a month anyway as the new guide is released and their stars re-instated.
