Some restaurants need no introductions. Having been fortunate to spend nearly two years in the kitchens under the tutelage of Bruce Poole and his long standing head chef, Matt Christmas, Chez Bruce, during my stint was probably the most educated kitchen in all of England, with almost every chef having a degree under their belt in literature, philosophy, geography or science! It definitely made for some of the more interesting conversations to be found in such an environment! Having dined their several times during my employment, the memory of each meal stayed remarkably fresh – not because the food was cooked any better for the staff who came to dine, but because it was just so very good and consistent. It’s no surprise Londoners voted it as their favourite restaurant for so many years. So when a good friend (and ex-colleague from here) suggested we go for lunch, I didn’t have to to think twice.
