I think London is an amazing city. It’s really nice to live in London. I think it is a multicultural city; there is a lot to do, great restaurants

I worked in restaurants, and I worked in the Cambridge Public Library.

When you’re cooking in the premier league of restaurants, when things go down, it has to be sorted immediately.

Anyone can open a restaurant. You just need a dinner party where everyone’s pissed and someone says, ‘Hey Tom, you should open a restaurant, this food’s delicious.

I don’t think it’s a good advert for any restaurant, a fat chef, and secondly, who wants to eat a dessert when the chef’s a fat pig.

Find what’s hot, find what’s just opened and then look for the worst review of the week. There is so much to learn from watching a restaurant getting absolutely panned and having a bad experience. Go and see it for yourself.

Focus on your customers and make that restaurant synonymous to where you are in terms of area.

When you’re running a restaurant, you have to change with the times; otherwise, the times will change you.

I wouldn’t trust you running a bath let alone a restaurant.

Isn’t making a smoking section in a restaurant like making a peeing section in a swimming pool?

I like taking risks. I like trying new things, whether it be style or restaurants or whatever.
