How Many People Call The Fat Duck Restaurant Each Day?

30,000+!

"The Fat Duck employs three full-time receptionists but its computer system logs the number of calls that fail to get through each day. That figure, he says, is between 28,000 and 31,000, double the figure 18 months ago, although the chef concedes the total number is swollen by prospective diners hitting the redial button. The restaurant only takes bookings two months ahead of time.  But with two sittings a day and only 42 seats up for grabs, space is at a premium."
