  • #45 Nick Grieves - Chef Owner of the Patricia

    This week Robbie spoke to an old friend, Nick Grieves from The Patricia Restaurant in Newcastle, England. Robbie met Nick about 20 years ago when Nick was working part-time a restaurant. Nick then went on to study for the building industry, but after the GFC hit and that industry struggled, Nick turned back to the hospitality industry. He fell in love with it but felt he didn't have enough experience and so headed off to London where he worked for Simon Rogan for a short time, and also at The River Cafe. Now he is back home in the North East of England, running his own bistro where he is cooking the food he loves and offering the wine he enjoys drinking.

  • #44 Billy White - Chef & Author of Eat, Run, Enjoy
    This week Robbie spoke to an old friend, Billy White. Billy has been cooking all around Europe for 15 odd years, cooking in some fantastic restaurants like the world famous St Johns and Matbaren by Mathias Dahlgren. About 8 years ago, Billy started running and he got hooked; now he is running up to 10 times a week and competing several times a year, sometimes up to 100km in one run. Being the ambitious chef that he is, he started writing for a running blog that led on to a book deal where 'Eat, Run, Enjoy' was created. Billy has mixed his two passions - running and cooking - and it is exactly that.... a cookbook for chefs and people who are interested in good wellbeing. If you're interested in a book, get in touch directly with Billy and he will personalise it for you or follow this link https://gawellforlag.com/product/eatrunenjoy

  • #43 - James Leplaw, Chef-Owner of WoodCutters Kitchen

    This week Robbie spoke to James from Woodcutters Kitchen. James has had a very mixed career; he started off as a musician, then his parents advised him to start an accountancy course before heading off to the police to work in the drug squad, then leaving that to working the corporate banking world. After 20 years and with an interest in fermenting bubbling, he decided to start a bakery. After a short time he released that wasn't going to work out, James pivoted and turned the space into a restaurant, the heart of which is the two beautiful wood-burning ovens.
