Perhaps I could offer some clarification on something which has come up a few times during the course of these messages relating to the program, straight from the horses mouth if you like. The comment which was made regarding speaking Spanish, was that I'd had some 'get you by' Spanish prior to meeting my Missus, and that I had been studying hard (Meaning Portuguese) ever since. This program was filmed 10 years ago, myself and my wife have been fluent in each other's native tongues for many years.. And yes, are still together (And despite having had this 'Green Card' for a number of years now... Yeah, You know who you are. Lol). We have multiplied to a family of 4, and no signs of any divorce papers coming through as yet. All the very best then (Especially to Richard and Rebecca if you should read this.. Indeed anyone else who took part in the shows, it would be nice hearing from you actually). Simon, from the show. P.S. To the fella who piped up a little more than most, and whom had stated that 'He is a China Man' and 'would eat his hat' - 'if it was going to last'. Well Mr Chan, 10 years passed since, I reckon you'd best get some salt & pepper on that cap of yours kidda. Film it, post it. Cheers.
I live about 1 hour 30 minutes drive away from the Lake District, we go there a few times a year for a day out and they get quite a lot of people from the USA visiting
Was it, kitchen hygiene I found revolting in this series. Find Polish very argumentative to management in this series. Not saying all polish are the same before someone jumps in tells me so.
Are these people so desperate for attention that they come onto a TV programme that will be viewed by millions and make complete fools of themselves? Imagine that couples children watching this when they are older!
The hygenic standard in the UK & US are low compered with where I live. I don't know if I'd like yo eqt or go to hospital there.. Nailpolish is allowed. Jelwelry like rings, bracelets etc People wear their long hair down when handeling food & patients.. Taking & wearing your work clothes at home & on your way to work... Just a few huge NO NO here, that as seen as normal & acceptable in the UK & US..
Anyone have an update on how Kuba is doing? He was one of the shows more interesting characters. less than £200 a week is exploitation I hope their accomodation costs did not come out of that?
I’ve been with my husband forever. I can’t imagine life without him. The kids are all grown up now, and we’re on our own again....it’s great! Lol. We love our kids, but it’s so nice to exhale and be people again. I do miss them, and we see them all the time when we’re not quarantined. I don’t need to go to a hotel really. I’m happy at home. Boring, I know. 😬
Lol I used to know Rick years ago from tiggies in the traff. Used to bring us home all the time after . Sound man even lent me his Bob marley cd from his Ford orion. Lol lostock days way back .
Hi, I have given a little explanation towards the back end of these messages, regarding the misunderstanding around 'Spanish'. Thanks, Simon from the show.
I could not drink that amount of alcohol - I'd love to - but couldn't. That Mum needs someone to look after her now and again - I suspect that's what she's trying say. x
Patsy Cline playing in the background got to bring me back there driving with my uncle and my aunt up 70 in Ohio my uncle telling me everything that went wrong with this kids in the 90s makes me Miss him
@11:34 kuba licks his finger then outs it back in the plate . Disgusting habits I’ve seen that throughout the series from several of the kitchen staff .
Classic ! she is from brazil cant speak a word of English , but he says he is learning Spanish !!! hhahah somebody please tell him they speak Portugese in Brazil ! hahhah Clasic
Wayne has retired now. We went back and saw him again the once, a few years after we had done this program. We had a chat and a laugh, particularly regarding some scenes which were cut from the final edit.. Ha.
To be fair I thought he looked creepy too but after watching a few episodes of this series he’s honestly a really nice fella. He barely ever shouts and he actually listens to what his employees issues are, I wouldn’t mind having him as a boss
I left the UK and came to Australia. You always miss home and family, always. I’m used to it now, but I was homesick for years. Edit..that blonde woman is young, but so old. I’m twice her age and I’ve got more oomph! Lol
What are they talking about? Lots of British builders had to work in Germany in the 1980s when Tories made millions unemployed, and left us with an economy closely linked with USA banks encouraging greed and debt, until it crashed by the early 90s and crashes every few years since after the USA since.
175 pounds. That's atrocious. The amount of various work they expect that guy to do for such a pathetic wage is insightful. This is why they don't get English people wasting all of their time working there. There's such a low standard of living that comes with that job. Romanians appear to appreciate it as it may be better than what they can expect to receive in Romania. However, they probably find out that on balance, it's just not worth it and they just get stuck from week to week. You can't have any hopes or dreams on that money. You're essentially destined to play video games in your spare time in a flea-infested apartment with no savings, living week to week, being told to be thankfull and that you're actually the lucky one.
They get accommodation, so they will have most of their wage at the end of the week. How many people do you know that do. Hotels are renowned for low wages. If english got off their arses in the past and took these jobs the wages would most probably be higher.
Luke Mackay you are right in all the lines man . The others all so have the same comodities. They are exploiting him and they found a way to make him shut his mouth and stop asking the money hé deserves . The manager and the clowns at the Kitchen are atrocious in Deed. You are a honest and fair personne. Sorry about my bad english but its not mi matern langage . Cheers ✌️
Did I hear the owner correctly "this is why we stopped employing English people" 🤔😳, maybe "English people" should take this into account when booking 🙄
letting staff drink on-premises is a bad idea, that the English couple will never work, terrible on drink and moan about nowt. that chef wants to brush his teeth
OK, so Simon nets a Brazilian girlfriend and learns Spanish? Somebody tell him the Brazilians speak a form of Portuguese? That might explain why she does not understand him! I have no idea what he is saying even when he speaks English!
@@chefmarc8404 chef marc And you should work on knowledge. I have Spanish and Portuguese friends who say their languages are different, I could drive 5 miles into Portugal and no one spoke Spanish. The same in reverse. The very structure of the languages are different. Spanish is Romance, Portuguese is not. They pronounce things differently. The whole sentence form is different Yes, there are some words in common, but that goes for all languages.
This couple who left behind babies just to get pissed...I haven't touched drink for 3 years when my son was born and never crossed my mind to leave him ! And they sound like they regret having kids.
Simon is a missile engineer on one her majesties warships.... Mate your a fecking we... And a lad at that not an officer with that haircut and body language 😂😂😂
rob catalunya: I shall call you 'Chan' then... It's been 10 years since the filming of this show, we're Married and have two wonderful kids, still going my friend. and you must try an hammock some time, they're pretty cool.
She was model material gorgeous the Brazilian women was. His lucky dude think bringing her to England for better life is how he pulled her. Else she would of been out his League.
Who else has been on a British show binge lately? Can't Pay We'll Take it Away and Nightmare Neighbors brought me here.
We are living the same life my friend lol
Yes!
In the same boat 🤣🤣
Same!
Obsessive Compulsive Cleaners is a treat.
I love this entertaining peek into ordinary people's lives . Great fun .🤠😛

I too enjoy watching the little people
i know Mark Jenkins and the gang are the legacy of this show, but something quite relaxing and easy going about watching the first series
This show is much deeper that you'd first think. This episode is the best.
Milton Waddams
all I see are depressed people and depressing lives.
@@dougmartin7129 That's reality quite often. I've been struggling with depression I think because to me it looks like everyday life.
What the heck am I watching? Nevermind, I just keep watching.
Dont ask just watch :))))
It's a great show, you'd think it's the usual reality TV but it goes much further than that.

I wish you and your family all the best for the future, i'm so happy it worked out. I came to the comments just to see how you guys got on.
@@hugovale8070 Muinto Obrigado Hugo 👍
I remember watching this on TV. I'm so happy to have found it here to watch it again!
I know the owner has had some stick due to his voice and unusual appearance but by all accounts seems very fair and emotionally intelligent.
As someone who works in a Hotel and has done hotel work for 10 years he really does come across really well compared to some I’ve worked for
I love this show! Great watching from USA!
I live about 1 hour 30 minutes drive away from the Lake District, we go there a few times a year for a day out and they get quite a lot of people from the USA visiting
"It'd be nice and calm and we'd never argue, but what would it be like without them?"
Well. It'd be nice and calm and you'd never argue.
Best show ever, cannot stop🤣🤣🤣. Great 👍
I wish they did a new series of this hotel, I visited this hotel last year and was very quiet
Was it, kitchen hygiene I found revolting in this series. Find Polish very argumentative to management in this series. Not saying all polish are the same before someone jumps in tells me so.
Michael G I wonder if they still employ the same chefs?
Fighting over the toilet seat being up or down LoL
Are these people so desperate for attention that they come onto a TV programme that will be viewed by millions and make complete fools of themselves? Imagine that couples children watching this when they are older!
I think the hotel rooms with the cameras are offered at a discounted rate to entice people
What a sad thing alcohol is
Alcohol didn't cause the issues, they were there before they started drinking.
Alcohol is just fine...with reasonable amonth.
Nothing wrong with alcohol. Idiots who can’t handle it are
Live a little 🙄 life’s too short to be boring!
Love this show…thanks for sharing
fantastic programme
How many fingers in your cold soup does it take to get ecoli...oh wait its microwaved😂
Subbed as i love your channel. I been binge watching. Only to find you just uploaded another full episode of the hotel.😁😁 thanks!!!
Blonde Rebecca acts and looks 20 years older than she is.
Nasty kitchen manners! Dude licked his fingers, stuck it back in the dish twice! They all kept touching their face! The place should be shut down!
Imagine....
The hygenic standard in the UK & US are low compered with where I live. I don't know if I'd like yo eqt or go to hospital there..
Nailpolish is allowed.
Jelwelry like rings, bracelets etc

jesus christ that guy is 30 ,rough life.
I thought he was hot. 🤷🏻♀️☺️
The geezer just walking about holding the glasses absolutely blotto 😂😂😂
Well done Simon & Venusa. Wayne was staying with us at our hotel last weekend, lovely man.

“As a general manager, it is not my job to always motivate”!!! Really .................. that’s a new one to me 🧐
When the inexperienced kitchen porter, that barely speaks a word of English is in charge of starters and desserts, you know it’s a dump.
That's not a compatible couple when he calls her names and swears at her, I wouldn't put up with any of that
beautiful junk food for doccie addicts. really skillfully produced
Why is he learning Spanish? - I would have thought her thanking him in Portuguese would be a bit of a giveaway!
i thought that too
He explained in a comment that he already knew spanish and was studying portuguese. He just did not explained it well on the show
loving the Chefs T-shirts lol lol
Where’s the hair dryer LOL 😂 made me LOL
Those cooks need hair nets.
Yeah, I don't think hair nets are solving that kitchen's problems!
@@count69 😂😂😂
There Cowboys
@@DJ-ce1tu where?
Please turn the music way up since I can not hear the voices most of the time. Or fire the amateur mixing the sound on the spot.
So no-one else thinks the lad with the Brazilian girl legit looks like Christian Bale?!....... 🤔🧐
I kind of feel bad for Kuba, he seems really sad. 🙁
Someone else on here gave me 'Erin's Dad from Derry Girls.. I prefer your offering. Cheers.
Love this watched loads more please
01:47 - baby blowing raspberries - my favourite scene 😂
Lol I used to know Rick years ago from tiggies in the traff. Used to bring us home all the time after . Sound man even lent me his Bob marley cd from his Ford orion. Lol lostock days way back .
Come and give me a cuddle haha them two are hillerious .
Its great he is learning Spanish,while dating Brazilian woman :D
Portuguese surely?
brazillians speak portuguese not spanish
Hi, I have given a little explanation towards the back end of these messages, regarding the misunderstanding around 'Spanish'. Thanks, Simon from the show.
maybe the girl speaks Spanish as her 2nd language
I could not drink that amount of alcohol - I'd love to - but couldn't. That Mum needs someone to look after her now and again - I suspect that's what she's trying say. x

@11:34 kuba licks his finger then outs it back in the plate . Disgusting habits I’ve seen that throughout the series from several of the kitchen staff .
That's why I only go to restaurants with open kitchens - you can always see what they're up to!
I couldn’t see the suave owner going out to the pub with the creative chef 🤣🤣
Love to see more i love it
Blonde girl reminds me of dawn off the office hahahaha
Alcohol makes great viewing !!
"Yeah I've been learning Spanish - BIGGA BENNA!"
Classic ! she is from brazil cant speak a word of English , but he says he is learning Spanish !!! hhahah somebody please tell him they speak Portugese in Brazil ! hahhah Clasic
The state of birthday boy 😀😀, but I doubt none of us commenting here Haven't done the same
How can ppl drink that much and not have a hangover the blonde big girl and her boyfreind
xanax plus some antidepressants with a morning cup of coffee
How can you write without using punctuation?
Owner remind anyone else of Tim nice but dim?
Great idea having the pigs,no waste.
Anybody watched grosvner Hotel
I love how Wayne lives side by side with the pigs
Yes, i would think that stinks, literally
Who wants to bet the Brazilian woman isn’t married to that guy now….
This is so sad..I’ve never seen this show before….
Is wayne still the manager? If he is ill be booking in !
Wayne has retired now. We went back and saw him again the once, a few years after we had done this program. We had a chat and a laugh, particularly regarding some scenes which were cut from the final edit.. Ha.
@@Goopsytheanimator how?
Your staff is demotivated...
The owner looks like a creepy guy. But I love the manager, and everything else about the show.
real creepy and dangerous people usually look very ordinary, this owner is just normal and kind gentleman, trust me
To be fair I thought he looked creepy too but after watching a few episodes of this series he’s honestly a really nice fella. He barely ever shouts and he actually listens to what his employees issues are, I wouldn’t mind having him as a boss
The Brazilian doesn’t understand English but she does understand diamond earrings
Wayne is a backstabber. He called Kirk, the Chef to Jonathan, Kuba to Jonathan and more or less got Martha transferred to another hotel.
11:38 touches the soup, licks his finger, puts it back in the soup, puts the soup in the microwave to heat it up for the customer. Argh.

Lovely very very Lovely 😂 But i wisch them the best 😇
wat does the chef look like, dosser
True, that would never be allowed in most professional kitchens.
Gordon Ramsay would have a seizure if he saw that!
