Meeting Tom Kerridges two Head Chefs

What a great morning Monday was this week. I was asked to co-present the Food & Wine show at Marlow Radio by my delectable buddy & fellow caterer Donna Minett. It’s always a pleasure, however, today the added bonus was meeting three great guests. Two of them were both amazing & inspiring head chefs from Tom Kerridge's Restaurants – The Hand & Flowers & The Coach, both in Marlow. What lovely chaps – learned a lot about seasonal vegetables and cooking burgers to perfection in a sous-vide. Having eaten at The Coach, I can’t wait to take Selb to the Hand & Flowers next week, to sit at the bar and sample some the old favourites – the Essex lamb buns with sweetbreads or beer roasted chicken

A thoroughly enjoyable morning was topped off with an impromptu luncheon with Donna at The White Oak in Cookham – what an amazing find – a beautifully served 2-course luncheon for only £12.00 – I now have to take Selb there too!
