......well, A A Gill in The Sunday Tmes ectually ( see HERE)

"Mind you, maybe that’s why they called it Byron. Byron would have liked burger and totty."

Comment "I am lucky enough to live a short walk from Byron and have to say it's quite fab!

I've also been told by their lovely staff that the name is actually an old-English word meaning 'from the cow-shed'; nothing to do at all with the Byron that Mr Gill implies.

Jonny, London,"

What more can one say.......theres more to that barbie at Ashmount than meets the eye......
