"sadly my restaurant in Birmingham got smashed up windows all gone whole area closed, cant open, staff and customers all safe!!thankfully"
His restaurant in Birmingham's Bullring Shopping Centre had been wrecked by the rioters.
"Windows all gone, whole area closed, can't open, staff and customers all safe thankfully."
But he was still able to open for lunch, and he tweeted just a couple of hours ago:
"what a day .....respect to all the community support on the clean up people have been amazing!!"
Other restaurants in England came under attack, too.
According to the Daily Mail, The Ledbury in Notting Hill, a favorite dining spot of Kate Moss and Lily Allen, was ransacked by dozens of masked youths who stole jewelry and wallets from diners.
Damn those rioters, just kill them all, they are scums of the universe and nuisance to all....!!!
Oliver thanked his followers as messages of support came in. He responded: "So sad to see whats happening in UK with these Riots! all gone mad! time to get our country back now we need 2 come down hard on these idiots.
"My love and thoughts go out to everyone effected by these riots, and all the people i work with who are in the thick of it ...be safe ..."
