POV: Evening Service at Busy London Restaurant (Head Chef)

Head chef Will wears a GoPro during the evening dinner service on a Wednesday, in 4K.

[@andy16005343]

Huge respect to the Head Chef here, for treating the rest of the team respectfully. I have no idea how you stay so calm and composed, but can see how regimented the whole process is. Everyone doing what is expected, but being appreciated for it. Not in London again for a while, but will definitely try and get a table when next we are. Thanks for this view of what goes on.

[@davidcristi8835]

This is yow it is when is not very busy usually. IN the kitchen if you see gordon ramsay behavior that means someone is getting kinda fired, that is only entertaiment not a real thing.

[@brandonloyo1394]

Lmao what did you expect? Not like he is going to call the staff “a bunch of dickheads” while the clientele is right in front of him and can hear everything

[@jakubszmigiel]

If you are showing emotions, you are loosing control. Your team don’t want head chef who’s loosing control. Being calm and steady with emotions is really important to be in charge.

[@alexkurogane8950]

@@jakubszmigiel I totally agree. maybe TV shows lead us to a misconception of the work environment at a restaurant.

[@richardtyson100]

as someone who's never worked in a restaraunt but has a huge interest in food - this is 10/10 content for me. i could watch this for hours. big ups for being polite and chill and professional in a busy and stressy situation .

[@devoncook-pe1wk]

Your gonna love it when you actually work in one😁

I think you are on the ground floor of a new movement where instead of TV shows filming service with high amounts of editing, the chefs themselves do it. It shows your integrity and passion for the food and more importantly, shows the respect you have for your staff as professionals. Especially showing how the head chefs lead from the front. You are in the weeds with everyone and still manage to mentor others and keep things on track. I live in the US but would immediately decide to visit after watching your gopro vids. Keep up the great work!

[@MoonlightStrider]

I love how most of the sounds in that kitchen have an almost ASMR quality to them, then there's the impact printer with that sound that cuts through the heart and soul.

[@Azizshmr60]

The fact you can watch a busy kitchen from chefs perspective is such an amazing experience , please keep it up and wish u all health & wealth!

[@docohm50]

I served 24 years in the Air Force. I love the way you run your kitchen. Reminds me of my military days. You're very organized and your whole team understands their roles and you can see the teamwork. Very cool 👍

[@DisDatK9]

I think when you get into a position with the best, you're expected to do your job and do it well under the umbrella of the platoon and Team. At least for me that was the case; the screaming and being treated like shit is for the proving ground, but once you actually need to do the job, hopefully there's no screaming. At least that's my impression (Former Navy)

[@PS2Damon]

what was your air force job?

[@docohm50]

@@PS2Damon I was a avionics technician from 82' -06' I worked on the SR-71, U-2/TR-1, C-23A, C-141, EC-130E, KC-135Q, T-38, C-5. I retired and went on to work for Lockheed on the C-5 and F-35. LOL now I just screw off

[@ginger3884]

You are the type of chef I’d love to work for. Calm and collected, stern when you need to be, and actually respectful to your cooks. That is how you get a team of people to love you and support you and stay with you throughout your career. I love how you compliment their work as well- sometimes hearing a good job and A “that’s cooked beautifully” etc will make or break my mental during a crazy service. This is lovely to watch.

[@seanhettenbach2101]

I wish I could find a kitchen like this. It's near impossible in the states. Everything is so cutthroat still, it's sad.

[@merced175]

I worked in a kitchen and I love the calm urgency you present when you need something and need it now, like when you were waiting for the sriracha butter for the cod heads, calmly saying "I'm desperate for it" when the cook was dragging, no yelling no screaming, very nice display

I used to work in the restaurant and our head chef was just a d*ck. He was always mad about something and everything we did was just not good enough for him. But seeing a head chefs like you guys makes me wanna get back into gastronomy and work with food again. I could watch this whole day. You find everyone as a crucial member of the team and treat them with respect just like every head chef should do and because of that you got big respect from me ❤.
