On a book tour for my new book #SecretFrance yesterday great conversation The Castle at Taunton and overnight there too with this lovely view of the town Sarah Stein

It is with a profound sense of loss that I hear the sad news of the death of Gary Rhodes. In the late ‘80s he made The Castle at Taunton famous by reviving the fortunes of the English culinary repertoire. A truly Great British Chef is gone. Deepest condolences to Jennie and the family.

Good afternoon Greg James nick grimshaw BBC Radio 1. Great to hear you’ve been enjoying Secret France, it’s the final episode tonight - sadly no cheese on the menu though.

I spent time with the Fifteen team this morning - a lovely and talented group of people that need our support. If you have job opportunities (particularly in north/mid-Cornwall) - please can you post details or links in this post so we can pass them on? Many thanks.

We're excited to be welcoming local jamón expert Jose Sol to the restaurant on Friday. As a special treat, order a glass of fino sherry and enjoy a plate of jamón with our compliments. This offer is available from Friday until the jamón runs out. rickstein.com/Marlborough

Any cooks out there looking for a change? We have a sous chef position coming up at the Albatross in March.

A common irritation with restaurant remote booking centres. You call to make a reservation. You’re told they’re fully booked for the time you asked for. It almost certainly isn’t! Why? Because the ‘system’ is saying NO! Insist on speaking to the on-site manager & you’ll be ok! 🥂

Bit of a long one from me today... 1) Its been a tough couple of weeks for the hospitality business. Like many restaurants, we've been affected by guests having to cancel their plans with us. Its why I'd like to thank every single one of our guests over this time.

2)....Thank you for your continued trust in us to deliver an exceptional food and wine experience. I really appreciate your support so far! London has one of the best food cultures in the world, so...

3)...I hope all those feeling healthy and well will continue to go about life, following the advice of the authorities as needed. I know my family, team and I will continue to eat, shop and explore our fantastic city as much as we can!

Just a few words about closing our restaurants in the UK . Stay safe everyone and we will be back .

Some great messages of support and ongoing renewals from our members Taunton & Pickeridge Golf Club. Your support of our 128 year old club is crucial to our survival. We want to be back enjoying golf and our beautiful course as soon as is safe - thank you. 🙏

We may be temporarily closed but we've been standing for a few years & look forward to being able to open again at the end of this maelstrom! In the meantime why don't you share some of your memories of The Castle at Taunton? #positivetaunton #talkuptaunton #castletaunton

If we were to relaunch our takaeaway service Grab-a-Brazz, how often would you order from a weekly changing menu?

Apologies all. I have attached last week menu this morning. Please find this week menu. Thank you

Please watch this message from HRH The Prince of Wales. I nearly wept with gratitude. Neither Boris Johnson nor any minister GOV.UK has ever defined what UKHospitality does to contribute to the life, society and economy of our country.
