A letter has arrived at Caterer's offices highlighting a recent visit to Post, the Banstead-based restaurant launched by Ready Steady Cook's Tony Tobin at the end of last year (you might remember it on Caterer's cover just before Christmas). The reason for the letter? The author was expressing his dismay at being greeted in the restaurant's foyer by a "board of fame", ie a selection of signatures from football players and other minor celebrities. The board also included the signature of the owner, Tobin. Do you think we're all rather seduced by celebrities and do you think chefs are the main culprits for wanting to become celebrities themselves?

I think I should put the record straight. The board of fame mentioned in this post certainly does exist at Post in Banstead. However, as someone who works there I think I should point out that its sole purpose is to be auctioned off for the NSPCC. There is no sinister undertone here, just a simple thought of raising some money for a charity that Tony Tobin supports as a patron in the South East. I also think that as Tony has been featuring on Ready Steady Cook for over 12 years on a near weekly basis that it is perfectly reasonable for him to sign it!
