Smiths of Smithfield (67-77 Charterhouse Street, London, EC1M 6HJ) I've been a regular to the top and second floor of Smith's for years. Reecently however the food on the second floor in particular has gone downhill. Last week my squid was almost ediable because it was so salty, the chips tasted like then'd be frozen and defrosted a few times before being cooked. Several other regulars I have said they'd noticed a similar decline. Perhaps John Thorode is spending too much time judging the quality of apsiring MasterChef's food when his kitchen is in need of a bit of a Ramsay's kitchen nightmare overhaul
