A Welsh restaurant owner has come under fire for his comments during an episode of Come Dine with Me : The Professionals that aired on Thursday, July 21, on Channel 4. The Gate's Gareth Lee, who competed alongside wife Heather, was deemed "out of order" after telling competitors Sian and Joel from gastropub The Horse & Jockey that they should "stick to pub grub".
Gareth and Heather, who have been running The Gate in Cwmbran since 2017, also competed against Mexican restaurant La Pantera, which was represented by Sam and Gary. To find out what was on the menu of the three restaurants read here.
During the third and final night of the competition Gareth told Joel that his Welsh lamb was "inedible" and proceeded to lecture him on how to cook the meat. He said of their main course: “It’s impossible to cut even with a steak knife. It’s inedible.”
