Various celebrities have come to the defence of Jamie Oliver's restaurant, Fifteen, after a London restaurant guide described it as "amateurish" and too expensive.
Oliver's restaurant scored lowest in the guide for food, ambience and service, according to the Sunday Express.
However, Hollywood stars Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston said, "We have been fans of Jamie's shows for a long time and his cooking is simply delicious."
Actress Claudia Schiffer also defended Oliver, commenting, "I ate at Fifteen a couple of months ago with Brad Pitt and Jennifer and can happily say that it was one of my top three meals of all time.
"The food, service and all-round dining experience was amazing. I would happily recommend going there to anyone."
Chef Heston Blumenthal also praised Fifteen; "I ate there a couple of months ago and had a wonderful meal."
Oliver complained about the guide, commenting, "This is just a cheap publicity stunt. The food at Fifteen has never been better."
