Wouldn't kick Jay Rayner out of bed.

Anyone else?

Yes I have a thing for Jay Rayner
Mainly from his writing... and a feeling that his love of food would translate into general sensual pleasures

Tickets £30 to see Jay Rayner Quartet end of May at the Crazy Coqs

Venue has reduced capacity and table service for cocktails.

If anyone is near London and likes him, I thoroughly recommend for a lovely evening (but appreciate times are different from when I went in 2019!)

And no, I'm not on commission!

That's a very white jazz quartet! 😆

🤮

@DollyMinx

JR could pass for Llewlyn Bowen's skid row brother.

😂😂😂

Ooo no. Love Jay Rayner on the telly but not in my bed.

Marcus Wareing however....

I spent the evening with James Martin years ago. He was an arrogant, sneery arsehole. I was v disappointed!

Jay Rayner's review of Le Cinq in Paris was what made me think yes - yes I would. It's sheer genius!

What! Aw how disappointing

Quite like JR though. He is good value I think

I wouldn’t kick him out as I would never have let him in in the first place! Ugh.

@GreenSlide I was gutted! I'd really imagined him to be lovely and down to earth but the only person he made any eye contact with (or acknowledged in any pleasant way)was the v wealthy (and equally arseholey) CEO of a large retail company who was baning on about his winnebago all night. JM was dismissive and short with everyone else.

@Tig33

I also find Antony Worral Thompson attractive though

I think this is possibly the most revolting thing I've ever read on Mumsnet. YABU.

Gentlemen with their nieces 😆

I absolutely adore Jay. And his mum.
There is an epic picture of her being winched off a cruise ship by a helicopter when she was poorly. It sums up her indomitable spirit

Met him once at a talk where I work. V.funny, not a tv luvvie, ordinary guy made good but did help with who his mother was. Went to Leeds Uni. Enjoyed working with him.

Oh yes OP!!!! Marcus Wareing too!

When I had my DD, in her early weeks, when I was struggling, I used to watch Clare Rayner on breakfast tv, and desperately wish she was my mum! I used to imagine her coming round, taking over the baby, and telling me to go and have a sleep.....So I guess in my dreams, Jay would have been my brother!

Wouldn’t, but enjoy JR’s writing and his last couple of books were great reads (and if you would you might like his theory about men who like oysters..)

i am sure he would be great fun to have dinner with. But it’s a bit sad what too much food and booze dies to people’s health. There has to be a middle ground.

Got my wouldn’t and woulda mixed up

I met his mum Claire Rayner at a do and she was lovely. I loved his ashes scattering piece. He’s got to be a decent bloke.

I also find Antony Worral Thompson attractive though

I think that’s quite enough internet for me for today, thanks 🤮🤮 @Tig33

God yes, he's a big sexy beast, I would ride him into next week
Ultimate would be Marco Pierre White though, I can imagine him being all dominant with a spatula
I'd let him truss me up like a turkey and give me a good stuffing 😋

I used to fancy the bloke in Big Cook Little Cook many moons ago. He always looked like he'd be filthy ...
