Kitchen Rat spies down at the grand unveiling of the Westfield London Shopping centre today have reported that all is not well on the Western front.
The 17 restaurants along the Southern Terrace of the £1.6b retail development in White City, including BBC Masterchef winner Thomasina Miers's second Wahaca outlet, Tom Etridge's latest concept, Ito, and Swiss vegetarian group Tibits as well as chains Gourmet Burger Kitchen, Wagamama and The Real Greek have been forced to close as the gas supply has been turned off...
Despite the massive media coverage and clamouring crowds there will be no food available on this floor of the shopping centre.
Shame. We'd hoped it would be cooking with gas, etc etc.

My colleague has been down there all day and just spoke to The Real Greek and GBK who have both said they haven't had to close once, for a gas leak or any other reason - in fact, they've been packed out all day.
