when the gondola opened in 1968 it's Italian owners brought the glamor of Venice to dowdy Darby and it instantly became the place to be seen you couldn't get into this place unless you booked two or three weeks in advance of place was packed had wonderful atmosphere and it had a reputation of being the best restaurant in Derby Danijela celebrated her 21st birthday on the gondola she even got married in the restaurant she loves it so much six months ago she bought the company but just what had she bought my Baron Darby [ __ ] you now the size of it a 125 seater restaurant with a 21 bedroom hotel attached a big undertaking especially for stay to the outside is anything to go by [ __ ] me even the gondola looks fat hello Gordon Gordon and Daniela Danny how are you God it's a it's uh it's like going back in time it is this bit of a time that how old is it nearly 40 years old even the floorboards I know creaking as well fantastic any one another no there's a wine cellar the old wine so yes it's forty nine eight o'clock and I can hear a few clinking placing there but and the place sounds empty how many look for dinner for four yes a table of thought and that saw and that is our problem we have this beautiful restaurant and it's empty most of the time one question I've gotta ask why the hell did you buy it if you've never run a restaurant or a hotel before well when my mother died and I went through a divorce it was the one thing or night that kept me going and I thought that's what I'll do I'll buy lego Ondra and all night long I've just dreamt of this place Oh some customers coming now sorry okay good night to enjoy dinner thanks Daniel I left the TV on table from which 70 chandeliers to his plastic flowers the restaurant is well a tree passed him it's like stepping back in sorry I mean it is and I wondered whether should we really decorate it or wait till the fashion turns and come back to loving but it'll be too late if the business goes down the pan first every way you look it's like a flashback to the 70s even the food sounds you know that dating smoked salmon honeydew melon with port warm brie with her tomato tart the menu is massive nearly a hundred dishes and very few of them actually Italian and I just start with the pewter polonaise please it's at him yes so specially Eddie thank you I've altered the simplest start on the menu but it seems to be taking a very long time get him on some hook and put my spaghetti now he's going to give the [ __ ] ancient ship that was in there [Music] garrison garrison you do it philosophically don't want problem in the kitchen and that's the beautiful floor doesn't hold up nice thank you they apologize about the weight because he said the pastor was cooked to order which funeral for customers aren't even [ __ ] writers when we come to order big portion first hotter this exam fifty is huge and mounting a spag bol and a salmon main course to come all for six pounds fifty no wonder they're losing money see if you can get a Kindle off the support and whatever senior I've just seen something very dodgy the silver sir vegetables and even in 1999 silver service on vegetables like that was 25 years too late the salmon is also massive unlike the restaurant a bewildering trip through time as the years of progress are just adding more on Twitter its 1975 lipstick and muscle there it's 1980 let's fix the monster on there do you know what this 1985 better - he's in sticks of ratatouille on there and is 1990 welcome back the roasts part quantity not quality a classic 1970s mistake and surprise surprise how are you head Chef Steve strong started here in 1975 I've never seen such massive portions in my entire life doesn't need the prawns doesn't need the mussels it's described on the menus that yeah I've got to follow through with what's on the menu but when you've been here for that length of time you could change that and just do a simple poached salmon dish without all that was due oh good you know there's two ways in this industry you move with the times well the times moves you and unfortunately you've been caught in a time warp [Music] in my experience when a Russians be stuck in a run for so long Rockstar setting in start getting really lazy they start cutting corners and I really need to discover exactly what's going on here today there's a 70th birthday party in the restaurant functions are the lifeblood Lagonda but there's not even enough of those to stop it dying on his ass at the moment for this year I've got nine weddings booked but really we should be aiming for about 30 weddings a year and then that would be very nice with 25 covers is a chance for me to see how the kitchen copes when they have more than four people through the door ten minutes in the kitchens already in trouble they've run out of fresh tuna steaks you know you're gonna have to do nothing to do it's called Plan B do you know about can be no I don't what's plan B when he's at home Oh tins that's what it means right teeny tuna banged album limp lettuce my gran would have been ashamed of serve that doesn't feel like a kitchen Gino [Music] get in the bowl and now there's a pond with the mains where's the soup lean on that Steve straight on the phone to Stella the business manager yeah I've done a safe playing on the menu does it we never serve a blue [Applause] chef's wrong again never the office [Music] Stella cocked up the order for the lobster sauce but instead of rolling your sleeves up and get it on with it Steve picks a fight are you going upstairs teller just ask Daniel to come wash some pots at all I've been saying it for three days we haven't got a washer nobody gonna while they're all bickering the waiters are still serving the main course it's a shambles the gondola wants to be a high-class restaurant and yet they're slopping out reheated catering rubbish Belgium apple pie what's Belgium about it you buy them in yeah yeah okay right yeah yeah but from a chef - chefs point of view you know damn well an apple pie yeah we can tell you with our eyes closed yeah are you telling me now that you're happier to buy them in rather than make them at this moment no I'm happier to make myself but I don't have the stuff with the skills all the time to do it how longs it take to make amplify yeah yeah what this guy needs is a rocket up his arse this is a [ __ ] double for you isn't it yep there's not exactly bull break in here is it it has been in the past from the can down there came back today is although that we're paying for your memory zone today is quiet right bring it back I'll still handle it now okay daniela sank half a million quid of a divorce settlement in Tula gondola but last year alone they lost 75 grand if she doesn't open her eyes to what's happening in her kitchen she'll be left with nothing but memories and debts let's be brutally honest you fell in love with the place and you grew up in it and you had your 21st birthday party had your wedding here and you have bought a [ __ ] time bomb I've never seen a kitchen like that that just has so little atmosphere no banter no communication no vibrant let's get ready for a great lunch it was Turkey going in cook the day before reheated I'm horrified that we had that you're telling me a discerning customer cannot tell the difference I think we've really got to pick up on and wake up on is the fact that your chef can lose his self-esteem by serving that [ __ ] they've carved a very comfortable niche out for themselves and they've made a really comfortable bed too lying then unfortunately you're paying the price for that I'm pretty pissed off you know that I'm not happy because what I saw yesterday across the board I thought was a [ __ ] disgrace [Music] Lagonda learned Derby at first I thought this restaurants problem was that it was stuck in a time warp but it goes far deeper than that it's 10 o'clock and head chef Steve and his number two Gareth are only just rolling up for work you wouldn't get away with that in my kitchen especially as last year Gresham lost 75 grand these guys just don't seem to be interested in turning the place around how much is the restaurant taking this week barely 500 quid yeah the salaries alone in the kitchen are a thousand pounds if the restaurant didn't have these functions that are drip feeding into this establishment you wouldn't have a job I personally want to put a [ __ ] rocket of everyone's ass in here today to really make them understand what you should be doing and not bickering and festering on [ __ ] memories from 20 years ago that means fuck-all [Music] it's Sunday lunchtime and there are three diners at the gondola when there isn't a function on well nothing much happens in this kitchen [Music] like we are awake we're away chefs away as well he's been away for 1314 years Mays away chef please no quite ready up not quite ready this kitchen is like a retirement home how many things do work a week three three to four depends on the business really yeah what a bizarre setup afternoon welcome back they'll be coming for 36 years Wow amazing so you are the asset yes so if the food wants to change you can come back no but Laguna are going to have to risk losing their three regular diners because this is a terrible environment for an aspiring young chef number two Garrett is only 19 yeah we've already given up mostly soul-destroying where the business is so quite now motivation why's that yeah very poor watch until it's ten o'clock now you can go because we can't go early okay someone does come No so you just clock-watching all the time yeah I've only seen one person in this kitchen with any real drive or ambition and that's 17 year old apprentice Danny Holden all right Danny Boy you have a [ __ ] good job started you know I've been in there lonely place in amongst all those bubbles but trust me if you get your [ __ ] together there it goes from bubbles on top of the sink to bubbles in classic champagne who's that good champagne I'm the old enough [ __ ] it we'll sneak in the fridge young chefs need encouragement but discipline is high on Steve's list of priorities and if these don't make it the go I've told them all out I'm not standing for nothing this one might not last a week already Oh yesterday yesterday was very close I don't hang around with one warning and two warnings No that's what you're saying Oh worse than one what what no what I'm saying is I don't like [ __ ] yeah Oh they go not right Gareth you know good you walk [Music] Steve thinks he can talk the talk but can he really walk the walk this time I checked out his store cupboard so I mean it looks like fish food doesn't it huh and it smells [ __ ] disgusting there you go half will contain up plastic minestrone soup now we've seen it all smash what in the [ __ ] ship does with that I don't know the new owner Daniela wants lagonda to be an authentic Italian restaurant and yet she's completely unaware what's happening in her own kitchen and the minestrone soup is quite a very good almost as good as my mother's yeah great why did you buy instead don't buy bin I make it myself so the containers are bought in minestrone soup and the invoice is here what we do would mix up 5050 who sought to give half-and-half really it seems to be yeah I'm not clear what do you mean two bowls one of no nothing no no no would make half up with pops packet and then put fresh in to it as well Steve's penny-pinching by bulking up the fresh soup with powdered but the prices are so out of date on the menu they're hemorrhaging money on a daily basis the cost of the Lau nothing more just the lamb cutlets yeah that whole dish okay should be on the menu at 16 pound 50 right you're selling it at ten pound 90 but the scary thing is Steve that you don't know that every time we sell that land yeah we're losing five quid yeah yeah and if we at the table of 14 today and they walked in that door I swear to god it would be not easy to [ __ ] stop them and say there's your five pound and [ __ ] off all mines were closed down now and I can save my money you know I'm kinda bug people have been here for years and they're telling me they can make money out of that menu but you were here in place in position as manager it's my money Steve I know it's your money let's carry on let's put a structure in place let's put a structure all right I might get more than cover costs on that go off saying this that and the other you could be out of a job in a month's time no one is taking responsibility for gondolas problems everyone just blames each other because I think you're the kind of cook mr. [ __ ] off you know I think you want to get upset one day after listen the way you spoke to the owner if that was male with a statue and my worry is you're so determined to [ __ ] work in this industry you need to get excited you need to start cooking properly [Music] got to get these guys out of this god-awful kitchen and try and lift them around so I'm taking them to see one of Darby's most successful businesses yeah Gareth you drive you know we're gonna look at some history something that's moves with time rolls-royce 1933 look at it beautiful now the next one is something quite interesting because this was made in 1979 look at it a bit of history that rolls-royce didn't sit still yeah and get moved by the times they decided to move ahead of the times the Phantom what's it like in there Danny it's nice and comfy and Steve don't try to say yeah that moved on they haven't just stood there and sort of expected rolls-royce to sell and unfortunately big boy when I first saw your food I felt like I was stepping in a time capsule yeah I get your digits mom I know she's got one of these you know that and you're thinking Gareth wants to do rob a bank or work hard robber facts should we nip round and see you mum Danny the engine that powers any successful restaurant is its kitchen and light rolls-royce lagonda is gonna have to create his own modern classics I'm starting with that lunch menu what's the secret behind any good Italian restaurant there we go you're making it I'm gonna tell you how to make it so make it one in the center is it I'm keeping these simple so the chefs have got time to get up to speed out goes the old to course lunch menu for six pounds fifty incomes of fresh pasta made with a salad and a glass of wine for eight pounds 95 see the color it's time to change now because the cellphones work on them fresh pasta is the hallmark of an authentic Italian restaurant its simplicity also makes it a money spinner understand far cheaper than those expensive lamb specials all of it ricotta in I don't need to taste it as you're doing there you go now okay watch yeah like a parcel exactly look fold it over nip all the air out little finger over left to right right to left use your thumb and push totally good like a go yeah cool she can have a go here we go we're gonna be making cast for 10 minutes and already the young chefs look like they're enjoying themselves I finally injected some passion into this kitchen good ten minutes your first one yeah number they shall first you've never made pasta and now you've made your first ever talk lady that's very good Danny the apprentice to come up with a couple of salads for the new menu light smarter and that in the mixing bowl good I'm with the shot so you put like this and I thought really good stuff Avery I'm good I kept a little taste be with me and this one is a is rockin Parmesan good matches as lovely but the gündüz problems aren't just in the kitchen to help me relaunch the sinking ship I've called him the boss of the company that does all my restaurant PR Joe Barnes well it certainly makes the first impression up the creaky stairs I don't mosey chandelier and look at the dance floor just how many heels I've been dancing on this you can kind of see L deco doing a special yeah on you know interiors frozen in time yeah and do you think there's a cinema lesson do you think you could sell this restaurant my first feelings when I come in and I don't mean to be negative I start all over again this place badly needs a refurbishment you could refurb it you do call it a new name and start over and really relaunch it however really money fine know what it does have is a tremendous amount of authenticity and kind of kitschy appeal yeah and I love this sort of you know the Doric columns and the dance floor and I suppose you've got to work with what you've got Daniela and her business manager Stella need Joe's help because so far as their marketing efforts have hardly said Derby alight I can't even find it on here it's supposed to be under restaurants under continental oh there we go Jesus Christ so we go past all these relaxing massage and all these [ __ ] houses and you come down here and then the gondola try our new menus bookings now been taken I mean yeah you've missed it I think what you've got to do is identify what your real strengths are here and that's the family-run business that's the the great space you've got with the dance floor and Mae them into selling points you've got to have a punchy message with which you can appeal to your potential customers now the restaurant reputation has disappeared disappeared the problem is that people have forgotten about lagonda it hasn't got a bad reputation definitely not so it's a good reputation see again you living this sure you're not being honest with yourself it has a [ __ ] reputation it hasn't I'm telling you a house so you've been to Darby and you've had a word you're all of the customer now or denies all other customers there are no customers the place is empty so you're telling me that the people who put adverts in the paper thank you superb wedding next such you're missing my point if you just listen to what I'm trying to tell you it may make sense in a minute the add-ons from having a successful restaurant it's phenomenal we haven't got that reputation any longer the business is on his ass and the functions over the last 10 years have depleted accept it there is no reputation at the gondola and if you're gonna stand there and tell me it's a good place when a chef by Xion minestrone soup notice we need to spread the word around Darwin and the gondola is changing so I've told Stella to get on the phone and round up members of the City business community for a special lunch a great way to get the message out and a chance to see if Steve can lead his team [Music] my father used to come here for business lunches about 25 years ago but in recent times I have to say it's not a place that I would have come to the idea of this lunch today is to get them in and out in 45 minutes we banished silver service to speed up the waiters but can Steve Ronnie's kitchen fast enough well they were busy quiet makes no difference to me I only know one way and that's the way I do it yeah you ready to roll with the gym yes ma'am this is the exciting father day yeah okay hey I want to clean out the plates yeah boy let's go one frittata won't we shut the font ugly tally the new past edition of device are hitting the spot three sends their compliments first quality care no but their medical prices walking but so a little bit slow coming out still that will be slow people having a business lunch once again a lack of organization has dropped the kitchen in it well guys it's gotta be a system in here somewhere see if you're confused yeah let me know and I'll help you yeah yeah he's gone all quiet so you're not leaving like a head chef gender said we're all these three guys including Danny's coming together the same time I could they've got to take your direction you know what do you ask for it we'll do it fresh outside in the restaurant there are lots of customers waiting but all the orders have become mixed down so he said table for you three tiger tell you what an optimal [ __ ] yeah they sent them they've just come back and so they're on coffee you've already said their main course and now a whole table has got the wrong dishes start again anyways on stone cold what about the starters [Music] if you send the started winding crossing it off to started yeah dude that was just 35 cover see I'm planning to completely relaunch the restaurant in only a couple of days time with double the number of customers I'm starting to wonder if Steve is really up to it no coordination and bring these guys together being a [ __ ] nightmare [ __ ] you know I tell you I'm finding it hard I'm finding it really [ __ ] hard because it's not about teaching and I'll boy new tricks about getting the old boy to wake up and stop being a lazy bastard a simple risotto bruschetta frittata tagged Nutella of chicken and they're still in the ship Logan doula is up the creek without a paddle the kitchens getting by with porting apple pies and the start don't pull together in less than 48 hours a new owner daniela is relaunching the restaurant o clock this morning their office often swear but I was [ __ ] scared the trouble is Daniel as head chef has been treading water opening a tin of tuna or pack of powdered soup I want to redesign the menu for the relaunch but what can Steve actually cook I've asked him to prepare me a dish using fresh ingredients only so what's in there butter we've got butter red onions red onions a little bit of olive oil yeah fennel fresh fennel just a little bit of orange zest mm-hmm and where did this idea come from when I was a commie we used to do it when I worked down in Oxford 35 years ago quite a long time yeah yeah Steve is cooking me a dish of rustic Italian trout dress it up and as a little bit miffed when you'll find the the trout the fact you had to take the scales off right so we're never gonna eat this with a pile of [ __ ] my mouth why don't you scale the fish good time it was time yeah looks like you forgot I think that's pretty dismal yeah for a 51 year old chef to produce that pile of [ __ ] I'm [ __ ] gobsmacked you the scales are on there holding the roof of my mouth the [ __ ] alcohols not burnt off this [ __ ] I'll stick after Steve dismal effort I want to find out if the other chefs can do any better cheers very tasty you don't need that sort for me you just [ __ ] that dish by putting that glue on there yeah that sort of gallopping stodgy wallpaper paste that in fact I'd offer that to Daniella to [ __ ] plaster the frontal gondola you know that because that looks like a pile of [ __ ] there as well what what's that what's that in there it's like yeah oh you chickens inside is this a Polish dish no yeah the chickens bra now unfortunately I I can't afford to [ __ ] off and die right now and I don't want to catch them Anela in [ __ ] Darby so put that straight in the bin yeah I've been poisoned once before and it's not another [ __ ] happen again it's so scary we've really are in trouble here I've never seen this message out before innovating I'd tell them [ __ ] you move your ass get on with it otherwise you're out but I'm gonna tell you guys just stop and give up don't fight it if you don't want to change and with that change comes in be prepared to work [ __ ] hard we've got to get rid of all this crap we can't carry 80 that 89 dishes what's it like this man's off and the night and you've got 25 goals it must be mad know when you cook like that do you actually think that you're fit enough to call yourself a chef if you're defrosting things and deep fine mushrooms and is it important for you to cook or are you really seriously interested in staying the way you are you are you definitely wanna cook the only option is to go right back to basics I've devised a new dinner menu that's so simple hopefully it's foolproof and like no key with salmon and tarragon and a simple tomato and mozzarella risotto it's a little bit too thick in this kitchen surely can't cook these dishes and fresh fragrant mix stand up please tea thank you yeah it's really hard for you to understand at 19 how modern we're trying to put the approach yeah nothing's coming out of a [ __ ] packet nothing's coming out underneath cook [ __ ] three days ago it's just clean fresh and just think back to that phantom that roller [ __ ] right it is really easy okay yeah so didn't all stick then he's never been given his own section so I'm going to see how he does with the vegetables very war isn't it welcome to the real world of the kitchen before you're sweating yeah hell is cool is it the first time you sweating yeah so that we've done the peppers yeah the aubergine the butternut squash yes and now or a sudden big boy over the last couple of hours yes you've been running the vegetable section move your ass we now have a new contemporary menu for the relaunch time to check out the chintz Stella let me ask you something you're sat just come and touch us a minute and close your eyes and just touch it yeah [ __ ] disgusting dirty grubby smelly plastic flowers yeah the clutter on the tables Martin we come out the [ __ ] pawn shop yeah you're like an old [ __ ] woman that just won't throw anything away get rid of it Joey tonight good it's like going to an airport lounge and looking at one of the chapels of rest it's the kind of thing you'd see in there when you sort of sit down and grieve I mean I'm sorry but they're [ __ ] awful catch get hold of them all and love them in the skip yeah good man already oh I feel like [ __ ] you now I got rid of my granny's pants they're off they're no longer up here I'm starting to think about wearing a nice sexy pair of knickers because I've just seen the white tablecloth to go down that's how I feel in here would you wear knickers up to there Stella oh don't start Jones is the horse kid anyway apparently nickers up to him know so get rid of the flowers but I have discovered one thing from the past worth hanging on to so this is from the old classic men used all during the table alternate table and some now you stopped it because yeah I mean at one time Saturday night used for just one person just do the cooking all night so you take that so what lightly Brown just nicely golden brown I've asked Martin for a demo because I think the flan base I do for comeback Jesus did you miss this oh yeah you're so [ __ ] good that's it yes I'm so we've tried to be best anyway but this should be the hallmark of the restaurant this this is a this is art thank you christ almighty if they taste as good as they look they're going back on the menu mm-hmm they're to die for by hot [ __ ] delicious who needs a wine list we didn't get pissed on the dessert it's the day of the relaunch as well as bringing back the flan base I've decided to resurrect Matt gondolas dance floor a house band is booked and the waiting staff finally looked the part there will be 70 covers in tonight double the numbers of diners that we had him for the business lunch it's a real test for the kitchen they're really gonna have to pull together if they want to carry it off I've put Danny in charge of a staff dinner they don't normally have them here but they're a great way to build team spirit most important thing about starting a big boys clearing out the fridge yes so we've got to move now big boy we got 10 minutes the others ready yes Tim I think you could really take these own little sort of world they're doing these stuff once you know that we're giving that little bit of confidence yeah why not unfortunately speed doesn't seem very confident with only an hour until the first guests arrive I'm worried you're running around getting all your place and bits and bobs but I saw that a week ago you're all boxed off no I'm intended to go around in the mall and just make sure everybody knows what's going on tonight and what I need when I show for it what I want it's all very well it's in your mind but I've got to talk to them now sort of you know yeah offloading it and get them to understand yeah yeah yeah there's a feeling there though I'm not sure if it's the business or not I get stressed as much as anybody else someone here I'm only human so maybe I get stressed more than anybody else I don't know congratulations that's really good since Friday you got two meals for dance Friday just thank you I'm really worried about Steve he seems very very nervous menus we've got yeah everything is in place and ready to roll but at the last minute Steve bottles it right listen I'm really a hot plate tonight shouldn't really be running the hot plate but Steve's asked if I'd run the hot plate to make sure that we get up to speed yeah communication chemistry understanding yeah working for each other yeah gasps yep what we can do tonight if you get flustered and frustrated we're going to do ask for help yeah and take it out on your wife pastor that's right check out a new pastor not Daniella enjoy it smile I'll be behind you every ounce of the way smile [Applause] author on what old lady on Parma ham with fix one antipasto one linguine main course one knock you on tuna wants salmon one laughs not one [ __ ] answer yes chef thank you good boy I shouldn't be doing this Steve needs to be able to run his kitchen properly himself so I'm only gonna get him started so treat me is on the whole play well knock your tuna one salmon one laughs Steve its Laura you're on your own and I just wish that you implemented a system like this 10 years ago before so we'll be certain [ __ ] hard now they're 5114 go Brad gasps watch to cook it on the pastor pleasure next I'm gonna be down on your follow to lamb or ribeye what readership yeah nicely put on that plate nicely as if you end up with it yeah fresh tarragon the top come on how does it feel to be cooking normally [Music] sighs I think once we get this in the system and pretty good yeah it's the only way stay yeah yeah I can stay here and run this yeah but you're [ __ ] benefiting jack [ __ ] mate yeah you're gonna have to do yourself now you know that's yeah run your kitchen and run your team okay and if I hate you silent I'm not talking to them yeah hey man that fork up your ass it's a big one yeah [ __ ] right for the first time in 15 years Martin's back cooking of a storm for the flambé good music efficient and stylish table service at last Lagonda is swing again [Music] and I can you send your honor and please don't understand what all these are always me so to medium your first main course is three laughs haven't even started doing the starters yet okay thank you [Music] and the atmosphere in the restaurant pops up the kitchen is going into slow motion cross it off what about that other table of four here two ribeye or tuna wants salmon okay you got all quiet tuna when the kitchen does get the food out it's going down a treat I'm gonna see the lady clean and play so quick it's like taking the portable dishwasher out for dinner stand up to the reputation that they set tonight [Music] the new menu has been a success but since I hand him the hot plate Steve struggled and he's only got through it by the skin of his teeth Steve Wright gara come in here Danny turn off the stove right how was that for you truthfully got to be murder ah could have been better got to be more smoother more communication yep who can that communication come from Steve meat hallelujah [Music] you have bloody hard week but I think we've shown the staff that the old gondola has life in a yet [ __ ] how two thousand pound in one night the restaurant alone last week took five hundred quid now there's the insight to what this place is capable of doing and it's only down to one thing what is it Steve hard work that's all hard work this kitchen was so far behind the times even I considered throwing the towel in we struggled through a birthday function and then a business lunch but the dinner Dale showed how Lagonda can get the good times back I've implemented a new menu and a new ethos in the kitchen but can they really build on the momentum when I'm not there to hold their hands Danny the apprentice does have the makings of a good chef you see over the week that you can cook and star food it's a really nice thing for you to do today I said to me of this I want to cook I don't want to be lies took on Harvison that look too good for a gas also has a chance of making it if he knuckles down you've left me more stuff than he has in four years Randy there's someone deep down inside there that's tucked away that's dying to learn to come out but wants to come out so [ __ ] get it out but Steve still worries me I think you [ __ ] forgotten the word cooking passion exciting yeah all right it's been switched off for a long time it's all been roasted up it's it yeah and this means solution don't know it's just going to keep on no snow no no I think I'm not gonna quit on it I'm gonna give it me [ __ ] best you see never don't come back oh [ __ ] me I'll be back whether or not you'll be here when I get back will be a different matter last summer I spent a week at the gondola in Derby my most testing kitchen nightmare a restaurant 30 years out-of-date and as I step back inside its years and I wondered whether should we really decorate it or wait till the fashion turns no customers it has a [ __ ] reputation and one of the worst had chefs I've ever met for 51 year old chef to produce that pile of [ __ ] I'm [ __ ] gobsmacked but somehow I managed to get the place swinging again four months later on back and some was in the gondola who on earth is that in there how I fine good quick kiss what's the matter well I did my hair change you don't need to do that for me Steve he's obviously getting ready for dinner Steve left he walked out he walked out gave me a weeks notice as soon as you left the minute I left he walked out you didn't have the energy thought about it and he was out of people didn't have energy I begged him to stay they said noise mind is made up I think he's got a job in a pub now job in a pub yes so what kind of food well what the general manager calls ding-ding food you put in a microwave an article yeah in a way I'm not that upset because if he wasn't prepared to put on the rope and actually help get the place back who's in there now who's the chef oh you have to see this man saved my life hello Wayne how are you I'm there to Manito Gordon nice to see you now excellence yes I just on the menu what is the start of the ready I'm style of menu no I've only arrived yesterday I did experiment with at least four of the chef's I went through one who was feng shui and we'd only copy in a certain famous ways it turns out Daniella Road tested several head chefs after Steve jumped ship at least she's trying not to make the same mistake twice no well you finish up yesterday she's being poached by Steve to come work in a pub when he can work here but the money was too much of a temptation I'm afraid shocking I'm pissed off that gaff didn't stick it out but I think a clean slate is the only way forward for Daniela yeah someone's trying to constantly pull costly pulling the wool over this woman's eyes and unfortunately because she was so nice and so gentle everybody was taking the piss out of that I mean becoming a laughingstock absolute now she's got the bull by the horns yeah she's shook it but she's got rid of the [ __ ] cobwebs please tell me Danny's here is working today he's working tonight Thank You Danny have you missed me yes I miss you too as well you know the big man Danny's responded to my encouragement by taking up new responsibilities Daniel can you get the cream please Dahlia perhaps he and Wayne are the dynamic duo that will give Lagonda the stability that it desperately needs on the bottom shelf puzzle in a package here quick as a cat plays but the proofs in there tasting I'm having Wayne's butternut squash soup I hope it's better than sleaze packet minestrone very nice colour that smells amazing it's not simple homemade rustic soup but it speaks volumes about Russia they've built on the live music theme Martha's still got his old magic please now flambe main courses as well as dessert looks fantastic yeah you sound brilliant and it smells amazing you actually taste it my very own Steak Diane steaks nice and wrap your taste is exactly how it should be very good Danielle has retained my simpler more contemporary menu and they're cooking with fresh ingredients rather than opening a tin or a packet and the takings have quadrupled as always last here that was lovely and I'm really pleased it was lovely and you've got the simplest things right well you've made me feel very brave about you I just needed someone to for my eyes up to yeah what's dreams amongst reality thank god she's woken up she thought she'd bought success she'd bought a restaurant full of baggage and a chef that didn't give a [ __ ] now she's got the basics right she moves forward and this place doesn't have a chance of surviving for the next 30 years providing they continue good food good service bit of atmosphere and enjoy what you're doing it's not difficult you
