Today we're joined by the co-founder of the ridiculously successful Indian inspired restaurant group Kricket in Will Bowlby to hear about his incredible journey that's taken him from learning his craft under the legendary Rowley Leigh at Le Café Anglais to being given an incredible opportunity to go move to Mumbai to set up a European restaurant and all the ridiculous unforeseen challenges which came with that including; nearly being killed by a stalker outside his flat, having to constantly change his menu to meet the needs of the locals and the joys of fighting off a deadly parasite. However it was in India where he fell in love with the local food and so upon returning back to London 2 years later he went and did an apprenticeship under Vivek Singh at The Cinamon Kitchen and learnt the basics of Indian cooking. 6 months later he set up the first Kricket restaurant in a 15 cover shipping container in Pop Brixton and after stunning reviews from the likes of Jay Rayner, Will now oversees 6 individual restaurants and 2 Bar's in London and today he shares with us his secrets to such success.
