The Grotty Spoon is not what you'd call a normal restaurant.


- The food is revolting

- The service is slow

- The chairs are uncomfortable

- The toilets are infested

- The dishwasher is a Yak called Fee Fee

- Every night something goes disastrously wrong in the kitchen

- And it's a holiday hotspot for jet-setting bacteria


Mr Sprout, the cruel owner and talentless Head Chef, is as cold-hearted as a dead lizard. He'll do anything to win a Golden Placemat Award. So when Mr Sprout goes looking for a Yumma Yum Bird, the Trainee Chef attempts to make a deadly curry, and Pierre the waiter is left to entertain the Awards Inspector, a recipe for disaster begins to bubble that will undoubtedly end with a gloriously gross BANG!!! (But on the bright side the E-coli Family will have a delightful holiday).


This grotty book, self-illustrated with over thirty pencil drawings, is hands down the grottiest story ever told! If you enjoyed Roald Dahl's The Twits or David Walliams' Mr Stink, you'll love The Chef Who Cooked Up a Catastrophe.

Industry Reviews

????? "My 10 year old daughter is a voracious reader and this one really hit a high note for her. She has been giggling to herself throughout . . . If I ever manage to get hold of the Kindle she has claimed I will read it myself now."
