Staying Open – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Wilson's is a Michelin-starred restaurant in Bristol run by husband-and-wife team Jan Ostle and Mary Wilson. Growing much of their own produce just outside the city, they've built a restaurant rooted in the land, the seasons and a deep commitment to sustainability.

What they've created is remarkable but building a restaurant around nature, unpredictability and the realities of modern hospitality comes with its own pressures.

In this first episode of Staying Open, we discuss addiction, working alongside your partner and keeping your cool when things get heated in the kitchen.

JKS Restaurants started with three siblings, a handful of family recipes and a desire to share the food they grew up eating.

Today, the group is behind some of the UK's most celebrated restaurants, including Gymkhana, Trishna, Hoppers and Brigadiers, but the journey from family-run start-up to international hospitality group hasn't always been straightforward.

In this episode of Staying Open, Natalia Ribbe sits down with the team behind JKS to discuss building a business with family, scaling without losing your identity, the pressure that comes with growth, and what happens when ambition starts to become overwhelming.

We talk about resilience, leadership, family dynamics and what it really takes to stay open.
