Ever get the feeling a restaurant critic gets special treatment?

You won’t with Pro vs punter; we tell it how it is.

Do you love to read restaurant critics but find the flowery descriptions a bit too much? Couldn’t you do a clever appraisal with more down to earth comments and more importantly judge the atmosphere and cost of a restaurant?

A punter, someone like you is probably better equipped to give an impartial view. Luckily olive magazine know what you mean so each month they have a regular feature where a professional critic goes head to head with a genuine reader.

In olive magazine’s Pro vs punter TV presenter and food writer Tom Parker Bowles and olive magazine reader Bryony Pritchard independently visited Eastside Inn in the trendy area of London. Both are foodies in their own right but their impressions of the food and the restaurant varied.

Tom said the beef just fell off the bone whereas Bryony reckoned it was dry and stodgy. So who would you believe?

Getting a firsthand view of a restaurant is what olive magazine likes to give their readers every month and you too could have the chance to become olive’s next punter. Could you honestly appraise the décor, service and the food that’s on offer at any restaurant? Would you enjoy eating out in a top restaurant with a friend for free?
