Have you heard of the Yellow Bittern? The new restaurant is already something of a talking point. The yellow-walled, British-Irish bistro only seats 18 diners, is only open for lunch on weekdays, only takes cash (because Corcoran say’s he takes “more pleasure” when paying for something in cash) and tables can only be booked over the telephone or by postcard.
But less than 10 days after the restaurant first opened its doors, Corcoran took to social media to complain about his customers — or, to put it plainly, the very people on which his business depends. It’s hard to read the diatribe as anything but a giant middle finger to rather a lot of London. According to Corcoran, they aren't spending nearly enough money at his restaurant and not adhering to his unwritten constitution about what lunch really is. Bloody cheapskates.
