Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOriginally there were going to be 8 attempts at filming, twice per evening for four days in March 2020, just as the COVID-19 pandemic was escalating in the UK. After the first day, Stephen Graham and the producers decided it was too dangerous to have so many people together, so filming was cut short to just two days, resulting in only four takes - the third of which was used for the final film.
- GoofsAmbulance workers would never use an oxygen mask with a reservoir bag without making sure that the bag is inflated.
- Quotes
Carly: We are working our fucking asses off here. You know what? Andy. I just, I am sick to the back teeth of your fuck-ups being blamed on us. Look how hard everyone's working here. Look how hard everyone is working to earn you money. But you keep... You just haven't got a fucking clue. We're run off our asses here because you overbooked, but you're so fucking stupid that you don't even know that you've done it, do you? Do you realise that you've overbooked? No? No? And on top of that, she's asking us to go off menu to cook fucking steak for some bullshit influencers. And you haven't put the allergies on the system so we're having to refer to your scrawny, hand-written fucking note all night. Do you know how much pressure we're under? You know, maybe, maybe, maybe. Okay. Maybe if you spent half as much time learning how to run a restaurant instead of whoring your arse on social media like a budget fucking Kardashian, then we won't be so much in the shit that we are now. You talk to us all like we are the dirt on the bottom of your fucking shoe. Well, I'll tell you something, love, I've had enough of it. I do not fucking like you. They don't like you. Nobody likes you. And this job is not worth it. I do not get paid enough to deal with this shit.

So my dad was head chef in this restaurant for years and I worked alongside him for a few of those. I can confidently say that the job caused a lot of the problems in my family, and it actually caused him to have a heart attack a few years back and forced him into a career change, which has been nothing but beneficial to us all.
When I worked there, there was crying staff almost daily, people quitting because they couldn't take it anymore, constant arguments between servers/FOH and kitchen staff, slack-offs thinking nothing of leaving their workload to other staff members, and customers who didn't care in the slightest about the people in uniform and had little respect for them.
Hospitality and kitchen work is horrible, even when it has it's spots of light, and I've never seen such an incredible portrayal of the job before. All done in one continuous take, It is such a well done, heartbreaking show of one of the hardest industries and I hope it shows some people some of the things they never think about when they go to a restaurant. Please watch this, and take it as a lesson on what the people working these jobs go through, because it's not at all far from the truth.
