It's a situation that could make the most experienced of Chefs just a touch nervous. American food writer and reviewer, Don Libey stayed at Bespoke's Madison Hotel near Swindon recently, and ate dinner in, not once, not twice, but 11 times during his 12-night stay.

The Madison team need not have worried. The Zagat's reviewer and book publisher, emailed afterwards to 'applaud the cooking and the skill of the Chef'. Each of his meals, he wrote, 'has been a pleasant surprise consisting of layers of flavors and excellent preparation and presentation'.

The dining room staff - none of whom was aware of Mr Libey's vocation while he was at the Madison - also did themselves proud. They were described as 'talented, most attentive, most kind and polite'.

Well done to everyone at the Madison.
