Mark McCabe with Dan Cox05 Aug 202400:54:44

Welcome to Grilled by The Staff Canteen, this is season 6 and our next four episodes will be hosted by Mark McCabe, Head Chef at Henrock by Simon Rogan and previous Chef Owner of The Ethicurean.

In this episode of Grilled, Mark talks to Dan Cox, Chef Owner of Crocadon Farm.

Crocadon Restaurant opened in February 2023, and is located in St Mellion, South East Cornwall. The restaurant is based on a 120-acre organic farm and housed within a historic barn the result of years of hard work for Dan and his team.

 

Dishes on the Crocadon menu change regularly, presenting Dan Cox’s reactive approach to cooking inspired by what is harvested from the farm that week. Ensuring each plate of food is as rooted in nature as it can be, his aesthetically pared-back yet technically complex cooking style draws on elements of his classical training, whilst still reflecting the humble and rugged facade of Crocadon’s Cornish backyard.

 

In this episode, Mark and Dan discuss the innovative ways chefs and restaurant owners can minimise waste, source ingredients from farm-to-table, and create menus that not only deliver the best flavours, but also respect the planet.

Thanks for listening to Grilled, we talk to the UK's best chefs every week so make sure you follow us so you don’t miss out on the latest episode.Fifteen graduate Gavin Gordon had only recently joined The Hut on the Isle of Wight when the pandemic hit, meaning that he was stuck on the Isle away from his children during the first lockdown.His role at the Isle of Wight restaurant inauspiciously began in early March, but even all this considered, the chef is glad to be part of the team there, partly thanks to the owners, whose approach he has great respect for.Born in Leeds and raised in London, the chef calls himself "an adopted Cockney."Though he got off to a great start as a chef as part of a Fifteen London brigade, this would see him progress on to great restaurants including one Michelin-starred Novecento in Italy, Gordon Ramsay's The Narrow, Mac n'Wild, Bonnie Gull and to make it to the quarter finals in MasterChef: The Professionals 2018.If you enjoyed this we will be uploading a new episode each week - if you are not already become a member of The Staff Canteen and keep up to date: www.thestaffcanteen.com/index/registerPlease support us if you like what we do: bit.ly/TSCContribute

S2 Ep35 - Michelin-starred Ben Crittenden from Stark07 Sep 202000:54:14
Thanks for listening to Grilled, we talk to the UK's best chefs every week so make sure you follow us so you don’t miss out on the latest episode.Please give us a follow and rate us so more people can find us!Ben Crittenden is the chef and owner of Michelin-starred restaurant Stark in Broadstairs, kent. Ben has spent his life working hard to better himself at whatever cost, and it has served him well: critics, guests and guides have poured praise and accolades on the restaurant which he all but built himself.One of five children, the chef said, "I've never had loads of money." Aged thirteen, he got two paper rounds and delivered leaflets for a Chinese restaurant, as, he explained "if I wanted to go out with my mates I had to earn the money myself."As a result the chef is frustrated when people make assumptions about his upbringing. "We haven't been gifted anything," he said. "We've had to bust our bollocks to get to where we are and do what we do."From his days at Rhodes W1's brasserie, where the chef was part of a large brigade in the early 2000s, followed by six years sharing a kitchen with Graham Garatt at The West House in Biddendham, the chef finally decided it was time for a place of his own.If you enjoyed this we will be uploading a new episode each week - if you are not already become a member of The Staff Canteen and keep up to date: www.thestaffcanteen.com/index/registerPlease support us if you like what we do: https://bit.ly/TSCContribute

S2 Ep32 - Kray Treadwell & Kevin Tickle talk opening a new restaurant during Coronavirus pandemic17 Aug 202000:34:22
Thanks for listening to Grilled, we talk to the UK's best chefs every week so make sure you follow us so you don’t miss out on the latest episode.Please give us a follow and rate us so more people can find us!Opening a restaurant in the context of a world pandemic is unarguably a gamble. Many restaurants, pubs, cafes and hotels are still closed, and others are at risk of closure. In these uncertain times, is it unreasonable to go it alone, or is it a fresh start, a chance to open a restaurant adapted to the current crisis in ways existing restaurants can't afford to do?In this episode Kray Treadwell, Great British Menu 2019 finalist and former head chef at The Man Behind the Curtain, and acclaimed chef Kevin Tickle, who earned a Michelin star while at the helm at The Forest Side, are taking that gamble. Kray's debut restaurant, 670 grams, launched on Wednesday - and though it might seem like a rash decision, he has little choice but to open. Kevin recently announced he was taking over an Inn in the Lakes so he is at the beginning of his journey but hopes to be open in October.If you enjoyed this we will be uploading a new episode each week - if you are not already become a member of The Staff Canteen and keep up to date: www.thestaffcanteen.com/index/registerPlease support us if you like what we do: https://bit.ly/TSCContribute

Agriculture Bill – what does it mean to British farmers, suppliers & end-users?27 Jul 202000:47:25
Thanks for listening to Grilled, we talk to the UK's best chefs every week so make sure you follow us so you don’t miss out on the latest episode.Please give us a follow and rate us so more people can find us!We discussed the topic with Nick Allen, CEO of the British Meat Processing Association; Daniel Metheringham, head of agriculture at McCain Foods; private chef. Peter Pickering; and chef owner of The Shore restaurant in Penzance, Bruce Rennie.As we set out to renegotiate all trade after leaving the European Union, Britain will, for the first time since the 1970s, be 'free' to choose its own farming practices. But the proposed bill also sets out the possibility of foreign trade deals, which could force the UK to accept the import of produce which doesn't meet the current British farming standards.The bill attempts to reform inefficient farming practices and change how subsidies are handed out, as well as laying out a seven year revision of sustainable practices.But for Nick, whose members at BMPA handle 90% of the pork, 80% of the beef, and 65% of the lamb in the country, the bill fell short of expectations, in that it "barely mentions" food production.If you enjoyed this we will be uploading a new episode each week - if you are not already become a member of The Staff Canteen and keep up to date: www.thestaffcanteen.com/index/registerPlease support us if you like what we do: https://bit.ly/TSCContribute

She was also very vocal about the issue of rent for the hospitality industry and feels the issue needs to be resolved quickly to give businesses a fighting chnace of surviving the winter.This conversation took place before the two metre social distancing rule was dropped, but thankfully our hypotheses came true, allowing many venues to reopen.If you enjoyed this we will be uploading a new episode each week - if you are not already become a member of The Staff Canteen and keep up to date: www.thestaffcanteen.com/index/registerPlease support us if you like what we do: https://bit.ly/TSCContribute
