hello everyone hope you're having the most fantastic day today welcome to the film insight
channel for today's video we're going to discuss some more restaurants featured on the uk version
of kitchen nightmares and review how they're doing now so sit back relax and without further ado
let's get right into the content guys the fenwick arms for another kitchen nightmares episode gordon
ramsay heads over to the failing fenwick arms to rescue it from closure owned by brian and
his partner elaine they've been running the pub for well over three years but are starting to
lose money regardless of the fact that brian has 20 years in the industry under his belt
they're burning 1500 pounds a week which is why they called out to ramsay for some aid upon his
eventual arrival the famous chef meets with the owners and points out that the interior is way too
cluttered through some discussion ramsay learns that brian and elaine work 100 to 200 hours a week
and only take christmas off hungry the kitchen nightmare's host scans the menu which is packed
with upscale dishes as well as sauce and wine lists ordering a prawn dish that comes served in a
martini glass and a rack of lamb that's extremely tough ramsay's left feeling disappointed following
his mediocre meal the famous chef reminds the owners that their food should be homely and
rustic since it's a pub but it's pretentious and dreadful instead leaving and returning the
following day the famous chef is shocked to hear that the restaurant is 250 000 pounds in debts and
that the couple was close to losing their home hoping to see the restaurant in action ramsay
observes the dinner service and is upheld with what he sees not only does brian forget a lot
of his own recipes but the kitchen is way too cluttered with unnecessary equipment including
an espresso machine bought secondhand from ebay it becomes clear that brian is a hoarder since he has
tons of plates in a wide array of sizes and wants to keep three microwaves despite only needing one
after persuading the owner to throw out some of the items he finally managed to make some
room in the kitchen soon after the famous chef encourages brian to let go of his over-complicated
menu as well and replace it with something more simple and cozy agreeing with this suggestion the
owners rewrite the menu and ramsay later gifts them with their first day off in years once the
menu is done ramsay puts the new dishes to the test by using them for the following service
all in all everyone seemed to love the food and atmosphere but things took a drastic turn when the
staff revealed something very peculiar supposedly brian told his team off camera that nothing would
change and even tried bringing back some of the plates that he hoarded thanks to a heart to heart
with the owners the famous chef helps them realize that change is necessary if they want to succeed
fast forward to near the end of the episode after ramsay trains the staff and cleans up both the
interior and exterior the restaurant's future was seeming bright a while later when Ramsay revisited
the place he was so disappointed to see that brian reverted back to the old menu and was very
controlling towards the staff what's worse a rival pub called the highwayman opened up very close by
which had noticeable effects on their business eventually the place was purchased by new owners
who remodeled the place in every way possible while it did close down back in 2011 it reopened
under the same name in june of 2013 but became a pub seafood restaurant unlike the fen week of its
past this version seems to have overwhelmingly positive reviews rocking a 4.5 on tripadvisor
rococo Gordon Ramsay heads over to kingsland norfolk to bring a restaurant called rococo back
on its feet owned by a former michelin star winner named nick anderson his restaurant was initially
met with immense success however he's currently struggling to keep it afloat is losing close to
2000 pounds a week and was forced to move into the restaurant with his wife and young children
facing homelessness if his business fails the owner called out to Ramsay and his team for some
professional guidance when he finally arrives the famous chef meets with anderson who reveals that
they only have 8 bookings for a saturday night which is awful hoping to understand why this
is the case the kitchen nightmare's host sits down and scans the menu for something to eat
ordering a fish soup that smelled nasty some mushrooms and duck aegon toast that was soggy
and a scalloped dish that was rubbery ramsay finally understood why they were short on bookings
heading into the kitchen soon after to confront the owner about his piss-poor meal the famous chef
expresses that the food is not only outdated and over-complicated but simply bad soon after ramsay
meets with sous-chef tim and anderson before the next service starts to see how they work in the
kitchen interestingly enough tim reveals that he gets most of his ideas and inspiration from the
popular show ready steady cook hosted by ainsley harriet anyway ramsay takes a look at their
freezer which is packed with the best ingredients that just aren't being used ultimately the staff
is forced to eat it all themselves before it goes bad which leaves the famous chef with a burning
curiosity as to why they just don't buy cheaper produce attempting to observe the dinner service
ramsay is unimpressed to see anderson working at a sluggish pace and notices that the customers
are getting increasingly impatient as orders kept coming in the owner became overwhelmed with the
mounting pressure and things completely fell apart by the end of the night ramsay criticizes anderson
for spending way too much time over complicating the dishes following the awful service the famous
chef meets with susannah the owner's wife who points out that her husband never takes her out
anymore and that she's miserable revealing that the restaurant is 100 000 pounds in debt she
exposes the fact that they're only open because of the help of friends and family considering the
fact that the business's current direction wasn't working ramsay suggests that they change the
name to something more inviting he picks the name maggie's which is referencing the saint margaret's
church nearby but anderson thinks that it sounds cheap through a one-on-one with the owner ramsay
helps him realize that he needs to start her fresh and move on from rokoko's pretentiousness
fast forward to near the end of the episode after ramsay changed the name to maggie's
simplified the menu and revamped the dining room the business got the second chance it needed
post kitchen nightmares the owners reported that the business was making five to eight thousand
pounds a week which is fantastic unfortunately it seems like this wasn't enough since around a year
after this episode was taped the owners filed for bankruptcy and shut the place down eventually the
building was purchased by new owners in 2008 who renamed it to luigi's but this closed down as well
currently speaking the business goes by the name market bistro which serves fresh food made from
locally sourced produce morgans as our final entry we're going to discuss a restaurant that Gordon
Ramsay tried to rescue called morgans owned by a woman named sandy she runs the restaurant with
the help of her daughters helen and laura being 100 000 pounds in debts and 6 months away from
losing everything the owner reached out to Ramsay for his professional help upon his eventual rival
the famous chef meets with the family and quickly learns that all three of them are managers taking
a look at the menu which is filled with tons of odd and unconventional flavor combinations Ramsay
decides to order something anyway getting some pan-fried prawns that were cooked solid a sausage
dish that was big enough for a dinosaur and toffee pudding that was actually good Ramsay was pretty
split on the food heading into the kitchen to talk to the restaurant's chef phil about his
meal they get into an argument because he can't handle the criticisms being made he gets even
more heated when he finds out that the pudding was perceived to be good since it was made by emma the
assistant chef and not him visiting sandy's home the following day he finds out that the business's
financial records are a disaster since there isn't a clear record of their income later on
he comes to understand that phil doesn't have any formal training and doesn't do any prep since he
hasn't paid for it which makes sandy's job worlds more difficult as an example sandy was forced to
run to the supermarket an hour before the evening service because phil refused to prepare in advance
observing the service soon after ramsay was horrified at the site of phil carelessly sending
out burnt food to paying customers following the ghastly service the famous chef tries to see who
would take the blame and takes note of something quite interesting while sandy claims that the
service went well since she didn't receive any overt complaints helen highlights that it was
horrible bringing the sisters as well as sandy aside soon after Ramsay makes sandy the host
laura the assistant manager and helen the general manager which makes laura walk off angrily these
assigned roles would cause issues later on into the episode with laura becoming petty
rude and uncooperative since she basically refused to do her job helen was forced to come to work on
her day off to fill in for her immature sister to breathe some life into this dying restaurant
Ramsay decides to invite some celebrities and actresses to the restaurant's relaunch
before that the famous chef comes up with a simple and affordable menu that would make use of locally
sourced ingredients after the taping of this episode phil decided to quit to get some formal
training and emma was promoted to head chef which is awesome despite the fact that the business
started to make a profit sandy decided to put up the place for sale listing it at 99 000 pounds
