There's a lovely kind of magic when an old neighbourhood pub finds its heartbeat again, and that's exactly what's happened at the Angel of Malvern. After three quiet years, the doors are open, the locals are back, and the buzz is real. Downstairs it's all about elevated pub classics done properly: brined schnitties, light calamari, housemade sausage rolls, steaks on the grill, while upstairs, a Mediterranean leaning wine bar and a cocktail lounge are getting ready to shine. I sat down with executive chef, Justin North, whose career has taken him from Wellington to Sydney to the kitchens of Le Manoir aux Quat' Saisons under Raymond Blanc then back to Sydney. Justin has always been drawn to the idea of learning from the greats, not just collecting recipes but understanding the thinking behind them. It's a philosophy that's carried him through his own restaurants, his books, and now into this new chapter at the Angel, where he works closely with head chef Josh Rudd and a young team, bringing skill back into a pub kitchen in a way that feels both grounded and generous.

Few chefs in the world can match the Michelin legacy of Raymond Blanc. With over 40 years of continuous Michelin-starred excellence at Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons, he stands among the most consistent and influential figures in global gastronomy. Yet, as he reveals in this episode, he never chased stars—only excellence. The stars, he insists, were always a by-product. From the electric moment he was told mid-service that he'd earned his second star, to his conscious decision to walk away from a Michelin star at his first brasserie concept because it didn't align with his vision, Blanc's relationship with the guide is anything but conventional.Behind those accolades lies a story that is equal parts grit, instinct and extraordinary luck. Blanc takes us back to his early life in France—hunting, foraging and selling wild ingredients as a teenager before stumbling into his first transformative restaurant experience. From there, his path is anything but linear: training as a nurse, talking his way into a restaurant job by boldly claiming he'd become the best chef in the world, and starting at the very bottom as a cleaner. He recounts learning wine from leftover glasses, studying cookery books obsessively at night, and enduring the brutal realities of old-school kitchens—including the moment a chef smashed a pan into his face, ultimately pushing him to leave France and start over in England.What follows is a series of almost unbelievable turning points. Arriving in Britain to what he describes as a “frightening” food scene, Blanc quickly found himself cooking after a disastrous kitchen vacancy—despite never formally training as a chef. He shares vivid, often hilarious stories: witnessing chefs mixing trifle with their bare hands, opening his first Oxford restaurant in the economic chaos of the late 70s, scrubbing tar from the walls and discovering rats in the fridge, then somehow winning a Michelin star within two years. From there came the leap to Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons—funded largely on reputation and belief—followed by the pressure, failures and triumphs that built it into one of the most revered restaurants in the world.Now stepping back after decades at the top, Blanc reflects with honesty and warmth on legacy, leadership and letting go. He discusses choosing his successor, the philosophy behind training dozens of future Michelin-starred chefs, and his determination to reshape kitchen culture into something kinder, more supportive and more human. Along the way, he shares the wild story of how a near-disastrous TV deal led to the creation of the London Cocktail Club, his deliberate reinvention of casual dining with Brasserie Blanc, and why hospitality, at its core, is about giving people the best moment of their lives. This is a portrait of a chef who didn't just earn stars—he redefined what they mean.Watch and Subscribe To Our Youtube Videos Here - https://www.youtube.com/@gotofoodOrder Ben's Incredible Book - All You Can Eat - By Clicking Here - https://www.amazon.co.uk/All-You-Can-Eat-British/dp/1805221523Get 2 Months of Blinq For Free - With Code - GOTOBLINQ - https://blinqme.com/Order The Greatest Meat In The Country From HG Walter Here & Have Restaurant Quality Meals From Home - www.hgwalter.com Hosted on Acast.

David Moore joins the Go To Food podcast for a barnstorming conversation that spans 35 years of restaurant history, from opening Pied à Terre in just two weeks to turning it into London's longest-running Michelin-starred restaurant. In this episode, he tells the real story of life at the sharp end of hospitality: the punishing economics of today's trade, the rates bill that made him cry, the disappearing profit margin, and why simply surviving in this market now feels like an achievement. It is brutally honest, brilliantly dry, and full of the kind of perspective only someone who has genuinely seen it all can give.But this is not just an industry analysis, it is packed with outrageous stories. David remembers growing up around his mother's hotel in Ireland, hanging sirloins, slicing steaks, and dreaming of becoming a chef before realising the front of house was where he belonged. He talks about his formative years at Le Manoir, living with Bruno Loubet, staging at Alain Ducasse's Louis XV, learning luxury service on carpets so thick they hurt your legs, and discovering what real fine dining looked like. He also shares the origin story of Pied à Terre itself, from late-night chess games and leftover wine with Richard Neat to quietly sounding out would-be investors from the dining room floor, including some very famous names.The episode is full of proper restaurant folklore. There are stories about chefs vanishing on “Tesco runs” and never coming back, the chaos of rewriting menus daily before in-house printing existed, diners walking into Pied à Terre expecting an Indian restaurant because they kept the old phone number and awning, and the extraordinary intensity of the kitchens David helped build. He reflects on working alongside and around huge figures including Raymond Blanc, Marco Pierre White, Gordon Ramsay, Tom Aikens and Shane Osborne, and opens up about pivotal moments that shaped the restaurant's history, from the jump to two Michelin stars to the fallout from kitchen scandal, devastating fire, and a wine fraud scam involving fake wealthy clients and disappearing bottles of Cristal.And because this is Go To Food, the whole thing is laced with food, wit and obsession. David arrives with a beautiful scallop and beetroot ceviche-style dish, talks through the first ceviche he ever put on a menu in London, gives his view on Michelin stars and why there should be decimal points, names the restaurants he most admires, and shares his dream food weekend on Île de Ré with oysters and Muscadet. He even reveals his ultimate final meal, from smoked eel cheung fun to roast turbot and plum tarte tatin. If you want war stories, hospitality wisdom, Michelin gossip, and one of the great restaurateurs speaking with total candour, this is an episode you need to hear.Watch and Subscribe To Our Youtube Videos Here - https://www.youtube.com/@gotofoodOrder Ben's Incredible Book - All You Can Eat - By Clicking Here - https://www.amazon.co.uk/All-You-Can-Eat-British/dp/1805221523Get 2 Months of Blinq For Free - With Code - GOTOBLINQ - https://blinqme.com/Order The Greatest Meat In The Country From HG Walter Here & Have Restaurant Quality Meals From Home - www.hgwalter.com Hosted on Acast.

Michael Caines joins Go To Food for one of the most raw and revealing conversations we've ever had. Fresh from winning a Michelin star at The Stafford just months after opening — and still chasing that elusive second star at Lympstone Manor — he breaks down the realities of modern fine dining. From why tasting menus might be getting too long, to why à la carte is far from dead, to the financial tightrope of running a destination restaurant in rural Devon, this is Michael in full flow: honest, sharp and unapologetically ambitious.He takes us back to the beginning — a young lad from Exeter set on joining the Royal Marines before a last-minute pivot to catering college changed everything. We hear about staging at Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons, walking an hour each morning from a B&B just for the chance to cook for Raymond Blanc, and then heading to France to work under Bernard Loiseau and Joël Robuchon. The brutality of those kitchens, the silence, the stove inspections, the mind games — and a young Gordon Ramsay in the same brigade — it's a masterclass in what elite training really looked like in the 90s.Then comes the moment that changed his life forever. Driving home exhausted, a split-second lapse, the car flipping — and waking up to see his arm gone. Michael recounts the crash in chilling detail: running from the wreckage, asking surgeons if they could save his arm, and returning to the kitchen just two weeks later with no insurance payout, no safety net. Teaching himself to cook left-handed. Learning to fillet fish and truss pigeons again. Being written off — and refusing to accept it.Four years later, he wins his second Michelin star at Gidleigh Park. A crowning moment earned through pain, grit and sheer bloody-minded belief. From building the Abode hotel brand, to rethinking pricing strategy with sold-out lunch offers, to explaining why too many chefs obsess over micro-herbs and tweezers instead of flavour — this episode is packed with stories, lessons and hard truths. It's about resilience, reinvention, and why great chefs — like great restaurants — survive by evolving.Pre Order Ben's Incredible Book - All You Can Eat - By Clicking Here - https://www.amazon.co.uk/All-You-Can-Eat-British/dp/1805221523Get 2 Months of Blinq For Free - With Code - GOTOBLINQ - https://blinqme.com/Order The Greatest Meat In The Country From HG Walter Here & Have Restaurant Quality Meals From Home - www.hgwalter.com Hosted on Acast.

In this podcast, Chris Horn who is currently the General Manager at Gold Key Media, discusses his career path and answers our questions about the synergies between the Media and Hospitality. Gold Key Media has a hard earned and formidable reputation for quality and credibility in the industry for providing a reliable, competitive service and consequently represent all of the world's leading hospitality brands with the world's most respected and trusted publications. In addition to supplying some of the finest hotels in the world, the company now also supplies airlines, private jets, superyachts, private medical, Corporate HQ's, UK Armed Forces, Embassies, Private Clubs etc.We ask Chris pertinent questions about how and why he created Gold Key Media and what are its vision, values and objectives. Chris also discusses the decline of media advertising and how this is affecting current media outlets. He shares his impressions and predictions of how media outlets will continue to evolve and change.Finally, Chris discusses his involvement with AICR and his personal ties to the hospitality industry and why young people should embrace careers in this ever-changing, ever-growing field.Chris Horn began his career in the media industry back in 1991 when he joined America's largest newspaper, USA Today as Circulation Manager for Europe, before going on to become Circulation Director Asia Pacific, based in Hong Kong.He returned to the UK in 1996 to become Managing Director of Johnsons Inflight News, responsible for the distribution of international media to the world's leading airlines, including global brands such as British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, Cathay Pacific and others. Chris set up Gold Key Media in 2020. Using the same “one stop shop” media distribution solution he'd successfully provided to the airline industry, Chris's vision was to create a similar business model for the hotel industry.In his previous role at USA Today, Chris had established strong links with many of the world's finest hotel concierges and had become an associate member of the prestigious and globally renowned Les Clefs d'Or, otherwise known as The Golden Keys Association. In his desire to forge a new working relationship with his new company, Chris asked the Golden Keys Association if he could call his new company Gold Key Media in recognition of the key role these individuals would play in the success of the new business. Since those early days, Gold Key Media has thrived and evolved into becoming the world's largest provider of media to the hotel industry. Supplying over 4,000 hotels globally with print and digital media solutions for their guests.

We're back for a new week with a riot of energy as we sit down with the endlessly charismatic Robin Gill, the chef who helped reshape modern London dining. Fresh from opening his vibrant new Bar Brasso in Nine Elms and on the eve of his forty sixth birthday, Robin talks candidly about the craft, chaos and creativity that have defined his twelve years at the top.In a breathless tour through his career, Robin revisits the brutal Dublin kitchen that almost broke him, the three star intensity of Marco Pierre White's Oak Room and the militant precision of Raymond Blanc's Le Manoir. He shares what it is really like to cook every garnish a la minute, to send salt baked pigeon to the dining room with military timing, and to learn from mentors who combine obsessive standards with deep humanity. Along the way, he unpacks why vegetables are more interesting than meat, why bread should be a sacred pause in the meal, and how a single review and its unhinged comment section changed the trajectory of The Dairy.We also dive into MasterChef Ireland war stories, viral nightmare customers, and why neighbourhood restaurants are the real engine of London's food scene. Robin riffs on Dublin and Malaga as under appreciated food cities, on the death of the endless tasting menu and the rise of fast, shared, snacky eating, and on why value and atmosphere matter more than ever in a tough market. Packed with humour, grit and wild detail, this episode will leave you hungry, inspired and slightly desperate to book a table at Bar Brasso.--------Please leave us a great rating and a comment and share it with your friends - it really helps us grow as a show.If you're in the industry and are looking for the greatest POS system in the world than look no further -as Blinq are tearing up the rulebook—no long-term contracts, no hidden fees, and no per-device charges.Just £69 a month for unlimited devices and 24/7 UK-based support that's always there, in person when you need it.Built for hospitality, by hospitality, blinq is the fastest, easiest POS system on the market—so intuitive, anyone can use it.

En 1896, Georges Méliès, précurseur du cinéma, propose le premier film d'horreur intitulé Le Manoir du Diable. Si, depuis cette époque, les effets spéciaux ont connu une constante évolution, le genre s'est toujours appuyé sur des figures fortes. Qui n'a pas entendu parler des vampires et de Dracula, du diable, des fantômes ou des extraterrestres ? Parmi ces personnages, l'un d'eux est en tête de la liste de nos pires cauchemars, à savoir, la figure de la poupée. Quelles légendes maléfiques existent autour des poupées ? Comment le cinéma d'horreur est passé de l'image de la petite fille à celle de la poupée ? Qui sont les personnages référents sur le sujet ?

In this episode of The Go-To Food Podcast—brought to you by Blinq (the UK POS rebels)—we sit down with fire-obsessed chef Lennox Hastie, the man behind Sydney's cult restaurant Firedoor and the pintxo-loving Gildas. From starring on Chef's Table to earning two Chef's Hats (Australia's Michelin-adjacent kudos), Lennox has built a career on cooking everything over live flame—no gas, no charcoal, just wood, nerve, and precision.Lennox takes us back to the Basque Country, where a chance overheard conversation in a bar sent him up a mountain to Asador Etxebarri—and straight into Victor Arguinzoniz's inferno. He shares how he went from three-Michelin-star kitchens to a tiny grill line where the ovens roasted your back and the fire seared your front, translating for Anthony Bourdain and learning that wood choice is as crucial as the cut. You'll hear why turbot belongs flat on the grill (not in a cage), how prawns can stop time, and why simplicity hits harder when the flames are perfectly tuned.Back in Australia, Lennox fought a four-year, site-by-site battle to open Firedoor the uncompromising way—100% wood-fired or nothing. He breaks down the nerdy magic of ironbark vs. oak, why the team builds log-cabin fires every morning, and how prep dances around rising and falling embers. Expect goosebump dishes and surprising ideas: live-marron split and kissed by heat, grilled lettuce that eats like a revelation, long-aged beef that hums with prosciutto-y depth, and flame-finished desserts that prove pastry belongs in the fire, too.We also detour through San Sebastián and Sydney's best bites—pintxos culture, tomato salads worth a pilgrimage, vermouth-forward Marianitos, and Lennox's go-to Korean and Japanese haunts. It's a story of obsession, patience, and learning to “slow dance” with fire—from mountain grills to a packed open kitchen where every lick of flame is on show. Plug in for craft, chaos, and crackling honesty—and leave hungry.---------Please leave us a great rating and a comment and share it with your friends - it really helps us grow as a show.If you're in the industry and are looking for the greatest POS system in the world than look no further -as Blinq are tearing up the rulebook—no long-term contracts, no hidden fees, and no per-device charges.Just £69 a month for unlimited devices and 24/7 UK-based support that's always there, in person when you need it.Built for hospitality, by hospitality, blinq is the fastest, easiest POS system on the market—so intuitive, anyone can use it.

This week, I'm recording late in the lounge with a glass of Irish whiskey, reflecting on the usual mix of chaos and joy in a photographer's life. Some good news first: the Mastering Portrait Photography podcast has landed in the https://podcast.feedspot.com/photography_podcasts/ https://podcast.feedspot.com/portrait_photography_podcasts/ https://podcast.feedspot.com/uk_photography_podcasts/ I share stories from a beautiful small wedding at Le Manoir, talk about how AI is both transforming and disrupting our industry (and how I'm using it to write useful code for the studio), and confess to completely changing my Instagram strategy so it actually makes me smile—feel free to check it out @paulwilkinsonphotography. The highlight? Racing through three days of corporate headshots in London, where the CEO arrives and my flash promptly refuses to fire—just classic timing. A reminder: knowing your kit inside-out and keeping calm is what clients are really paying for. If you fancy joining me in Oxford for a day of portraits, stories, and good company, there's still a spot on our next Location Portraits Workshop. https://masteringportraitphotography.com/resource/mastering-portrait-photography-on-location-in-oxford-9th-june-2025/ As ever: trust yourself, enjoy the process, and be kind to yourself. Cheers! Transcript Introduction and Setting the Scene Well, it's been a while since I've recorded a podcast quite like this, but I'm sitting in our lounge. It's late. I've got a glass of Irish whiskey for a change, which is just beautiful. All of my whiskeys have been bought by someone and I love that. I love sitting and thinking of someone, a family member or a friend. 'cause I enjoy, well, the smell and the taste. There's some, I dunno why I like whiskey so much. Um, I just do, there's something, I think it's 'cause my mom and dad liked it. And possibly because of that, I find there's something really magical about the smell and the taste and the color and just, I don't know, something that sat in a barrel for a decade or more just appeals to me, and it has been another busy week. It's Wednesday as I record this, and yet it feels like it's been the end of a week. Um, it's just, it always feels like I'm playing catch up, but I think that's just the nature of the job. When I worked at Accenture all of those years ago, I quite liked the project mentality. Although we were busy, we ramped up and up and up and up until eventually we got to the delivery date. And then of course, once it was delivered, you've got a week or two off all of that pressure built and built and built. It was to an end point. And I don't think, as a photographer, I felt like that since I left that world now it's just a constant churn of to-do lists, retouching shoots, being energized, even things like recording this podcast. You have to be really in the mood to do it, and I'm not always. There have been plenty of times when I've sat down to record something and even a large glass of 15-year-old single molt doesn't do it. However, I am here, it is late. So forgive me if I sort of tumble over some of my words, but I really wanted to get, um, an episode out. I'm Paul and this is the Mastering Portrait Photography
Raymond Blanc, culinary icon, author and hotelier, passionately champions the art of seasonal cooking and creativity in his revered cuisine. Patrick O'Donnell visits his world-renowned restaurant and hotel Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons in Oxfordshire, to learn and dine on Raymond's journey, philosophy, and the power of colour in cooking. Together they tour the hotel, kitchens, and all-important kitchen gardens, discussing everything from molecular gastronomy to forest sleeping. Along the way, they muse on his mother's influence in igniting his love for seasonal cooking, his journey from France to England (via a broken jaw!) and how teamwork is an essential ingredient to achieving a vision.Learn about the colours featured in each episode hereSee the colours of Raymond's Life HereFollow Raymond on Instagram hereFollow us on Instagram here Hosted on Acast.

We've officially reached the 100th episode of Beyond the Water Cooler! It's a perfect moment to pause and reflect on not just how far we've come, but where we're headed when it comes to the future of work.To celebrate this milestone, I've brought together three brilliant guests, each an industry leader from a different sector: Sarah Foster from law (Freeths Oxford), Jamie Purcell from hospitality (Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons), and Crissie Gizzi from construction (Morgan Sindall). Together, we open the lid on how leadership and work culture are evolving across fields that may appear worlds apart but share strikingly similar challenges and opportunities.A common thread emerges throughout our discussion: uncertainty is both a reality and a catalyst for change. Skills shortages, technology integration, evolving employee expectations, and the unknowns ahead make it more important than ever for leaders to foster cultures built on curiosity, empathy, and adaptability. Our guests share practical insights: from running meaningful check-ins and supporting wellbeing, to investing in learning, embracing hybrid working, and designing innovative ways to retain and develop people.We talk candidly about what keeps us up at night—wellbeing, resilience, and how to prepare for the skills and confidence gaps of tomorrow. Yet there's real excitement too, especially around diversity, inclusion, and learning from other industries. Whether it's making workplaces accessible by investing in new transport routes, or shaping firm strategies that are truly influenced by staff voice, the future of work will belong to those who listen, adapt, and lead with openness.If you want a glimpse into the challenges and joys of steering your team through uncertainty, and inspiration to build a thriving, high-performing culture—whatever your sector—this episode is for you. Here's to being curious, empathetic, and, above all, human… even as the future keeps us on our toes.More about my guests:Sarah Foster Sarah manages Freeths Oxford office, is Joint National Head of the Freeths Private Client Services team and sits on their management board.

Pour commencer cette saison 6 de Feu de camp et prolonger les vacances estivales, direction la baie de San Francisco, à Oakland, au Manoir Clarke, pour une nuit on ne peut plus trépidente. Là bas, ce ne sont pas les voisins que l'on accuse de tapage nocturne mais plutôt l'esprit vengeur visiblement qui rôde dans la demeure. Lorsque la colère le prend, il balance les chaises dans les airs, fait tourner les tables et trembler les meubles. Impossible pour les résidents de trouver le sommeil, le séjour est moins reposant que prévu mais le frisson vaut toutes les insomnies.
Faut-il craindre les fantômes ou les humains ? Il arrive que les actes commis par une personne de son vivant soient si monstrueux qu'ils prennent des dimensions surnaturelles et continuent de se répercuter des siècles après les faits… Le récit que vous allez entendre dans ce troisième épisode de la saison 2 est celui du destin tragique vécu par plusieurs personnes ayant réellement existé, et dont les vies ont été horriblement bouleversées par l'intervention d'une personne bien réelle. Prenez une grande respiration pour encaisser les faits que vous vous apprêtez à écouter.
À Pittsburgh, en Pennsylvanie, on raconte souvent l'histoire d'une maison au passé si sombre qu'on dit que c'est le diable en personne qui l'a construite. Depuis sa construction jusqu'à ses derniers habitants, elle n'a été le théâtre que d'atrocités — réelles ou rapportées — et glace encore le sang de ceux qui passent à côté. Ce grand manoir victorie est l'illustration parfaite de la maison hantée par excellence. Et quand on sait ce qui s'y est déroulé en 1871, lorsqu'elle abritait encore ses tout premiers habitants… il y a de quoi croire aux malédictions.

TV Max has canceled the "Pretty Little Liars" reboot. Could there be a "West Wing" reboot?
