Flor is right - there, i said it!!! The decision made concerning the sale of alcohol and the reluctance to reverse that decision is I believe central here. Ramsay is a "My way or the highway kinda guy" but at the end of the day he is a businessman - if Maze had continued to put the same number of bums on seats as it had when punters could enjoy a slight glass of chablis with their roasted Bloater, then clearly he wouldnt be taking his business elsewhere UNLESS the venture just didnt take off in the first instance - wine or no wine!! Whatever, it was a business decision. Maybe it was a location issue??
