New Forest Show - Day Two (Part 2)

After a long day selling their wares, Jason and Will had an evening of drama as they hunted for a much needed meal late on Tuesday evening. Chaos descended on them when they decided to visit a local Chinese restaurant which initially appeared to be run by two teenagers that night.

With customers’ drinks orders being misplaced and food orders being delivered twice (three lots of prawn crackers to one table), complaints to the mother who had now appeared were being made by nearly everyone. Having waited a long time for the starter and even longer for the main, Jason and Will cut their losses paid for their starters and then left to find somewhere else for their main. Film critic Mark Kermode who had come in to order a takeaway was still left waiting as the guys left – thank goodness he wasn’t a restaurant critic!

They next tried a restaurant at a 4* hotel they came across. As they walked in however they came across some more customers arguing with staff in reception – it appears no-one was happy that night! The guys sat down, ordered and greatly anticipated their meal arriving. 25 minutes later no food had arrived, and the waitress came over to ask whether everything was alright not realising that they had already placed an order. Again they had to wait patiently for the kitchen to quickly sort this out for them.

Walking back to the showground, more drama was to occur when they came across the locked gates back into the grounds and they desperately looked for someone to let them through to the camping site. Who said life on the road was easy huh!
