Chef proprietor Malcolm John has been winning fans, both large and small, for his latest eaterie Le Cassoulet in London's unloved commuter suburb Croydon.
The restaurant critics of the national press have lavished praise but it's also closer to home (and the ground) that the eaterie has really impressed with none other than local hero and Two Ronnies star Ronnie Corbett a regular at the outfit.
No confirmation if Corbett issues monologues from his chair when it becomes time to place an order, or even if he requests an extra large cushion to act as a booster at the table but John isn't complaining.
A celebrity endorsement is a celebrity endorsement even if your regular doesn't have the largest of appetites.
So it's goodnight from me, and it's goodnight from him.
Malcolm John's Le Cassoulet could be the perfect neighbourhood restaurant>>
