I can tell you all, I would pay extra to stay at the Grosvenor. It was totally unique. I love it!

After watching many episodes it's clear Mark is a Jack of all Trades Master of None. Chef and kitchen staff are great.

I love the head chef. That bit at the end with the cheesecake killed me!

[@daisyelliott7330]

The scene between Mark and Alison choosing a ringtone is possibly my favourite bit of tv ever.

The chef is the only one who cares for the business and is the only one who has a passion for what he does.

[@danielhallyt108]

Very true

[@davidstevens893]

I wouldnt agree with that, he left at 10pm when they were in the middle of serving up a 4 course dinner.

[@mrjules2008]

It didn't seem like he tried that hard. Your chef makes you money by cooking not ordering in cheesecake. £10 per head was ridiculous that cheesecake must've been £2.50 a slice. If he had passion he'd have made one for 40p a slice.

As an “event organiser” how tf does Christian not count how many tickets he’s selling?!

Exactly but 2016 Christian was Jailed for Freud. If there was no record of how many tickets have been printed then there is no record of how many have been sold and in the pocket it goes I expect.

The chef is very smart. He tried to get Mark to think about coatings.

[@londonlady1966]

"Christian" understood it perfectly... This is how he embezzled a hotel in Dorset... "He used his access to the tills to concoct an ingenious fiddle in which he entered enormous bogus refunds into the computerised till system. They showed he repaying hundreds of pounds to customers for massive rounds of cocktails but in fact he was pocketing the money himself."

Actually, Mark seems to be trying, and he does seem to care about and like people. For some reason he makes me want to help him get where he is trying to go. He just needs a bit more organization, and to make more decisions and delegate things like a boss. Christian and also that large dark haired lady with glasses seems to not have a very supportive attitude at any point. She does not seem to be in the habit of saying anything positive or helpful. IMO.
