Marco Pierre White 'defaces' menu at Welsh restaurant to tell owners how much he loves eating there

World-renowned chef Marco Pierre White surprised the owners of a Pembrokeshire restaurant by leaving a message of admiration scrawled across their menu. The much-revered TV chef 'defaced' the menu he was given at Rib & Oyster in Kilgetty to tell the owners how much he loves their restaurant.

The restaurant, which only has 11 tables, has been open for just a year-and-a-half, but already has a huge reputation. This was Pierre White's second trip to the restaurant after he popped in over the summer and left proclaiming to have had "the best meal he'd eaten in a long time."

His praise on his second visit was no less glowing. After a meal of scallops and a seafood platter with John Dory, lobster, and halibut, the chef wrote a message of praise on the menu: "Gavin, Lucy and team. I love your restaurant with respect and admiration M.P.W. x" and signed it off with the date of his visit, February 11.
