Question

Review of local restaurant The new restaurant, Bailey’s, in Park Road is a great success. It opened last month and is now the most popular restaurant in Thornton town centre. It’s smaller than the others and it’s definitely more expensive, but the food is delicious. It’s easy to get to because it’s near the bus station and the main car park in town.
The owner, chef Mike Bailey, worked in a big London hotel before he started the restaurant and he learned to cook from some of the best chefs in the world. He thinks the most important thing is to have fresh food – everything on his menu is fresh. He buys his meat and vegetables from local farms and the fish is from the River Thorn. Believe me – it’s all delicious!
My favourite dish on the menu is the roast chicken. It’s a traditional meal but the vegetables are beautifully cooked and it comes with a special sauce. I loved the desserts. For me, the best dessert is the chocolate cake with home-made ice cream. For people on a diet, it’s not a good idea to go to Bailey’s!
The restaurant is also well designed and decorated. You can see directly into the kitchen and watch the young chefs at work. They cook quickly, but everything is always perfect. The smells from the kitchen are wonderful and they make you very hungry! The service is also very good and quick.
Bailey’s is always busier than the other restaurants in town. Try it soon, but remember to book in advance. And don’t eat anything before you go!
