Do you cook a lot yourself? What is your failsafe dish?
Quite a bit, I love cooking with my son at home. My failsafe dish would be a good ragu of veal and beef or lamb, served with pasta, either pappardelle or penne.
Where do you like to eat out? How often?
I love Thai so a trip into Cirencester is always good, if I can get a day off. I don’t eat out very often so it is a pleasure when I get to go out with the wife.
What do you always hope to find on a menu? For starter? Main course? Dessert?
Starter has to be a soup — it lends itself to so many flavours and influences.
Main course has to be beef. But I have to say that due to our fab Fairford beef! A dessert for me has to contain lemon or chocolate. Lemon is good for the palate after a great meal. And chocolate... I just love it.
Which foods did you hate as a child? Do you eat them now?
Fish, which is odd when you look back on it. I love cooking it now. We have some great fish dishes on the menu.
What is your favourite drink? Alcoholic and non-alcoholic.
Alcoholic, I like a beer, a good Arkells 3B. Non-alcoholic, what is that?
Marmite: yes or no? Marmite is a definite no.
What is your guilty pleasure when it comes to food... something you know you shouldn’t eat, but do anyway?
Cheese, it is always there and can be in a dish or just a slice. I think I am addicted.
You are on your own at home watching a film. What is your snack of choice?
Ice cream.
You’re eating a bacon sandwich...ketchup, brown sauce or nothing at all?
I like my bacon sarnie to have more ketchup than bacon, but here at The Bull, you can’t beat bacon with our own homemade brown sauce.
