[ Full English breakfast] it's what we grew up with! It is the one big treat that the kids get on the weekend - it's good family time.

To have 95% of the ingredients sourced, food and wine, within 100 miles radius, that's a dream come true for any chef.

If I can give you one strong piece of advice, when you go away for that romantic weekend, whatever you do, do not accept or take the upgrade to the honeymoon suite.

I shoot from the hip.

The thing is, I can teach. I can teach bloody well. So few chefs have that level of generosity. I demand a lot, a f***ing hell of a lot, but I give a lot back.

Chefs are nutters. They're all self-obsessed, delicate, dainty, insecure little souls and absolute psychopaths. Every last one of them.

The level of jealousy and insecurity in this industry [restaurant] is far greater than ever before.
