Marcus Wareing shares ‘nostalgic’ memories of school dinners and chippy tea (Image: Plimsoll Productions) The celebrity chef recently stepped away from the culinary frontline after 35 years in the industry, marked by the closure of his restaurant at the Berkley Hotel in Knightsbridge, London, on December 26 last year. Marcus Wareing’s impressive career has seen him take on many roles outside of being a restaurateur. One of his most famous TV ventures began in 2014 as a judge on Masterchef : The Professionals.

Lately, the Michelin-starred restaurateur delved into life “from field to fork” in his BBC documentary series, Marcus Wareing's Tales from a Kitchen Garden (2022). Set on his smallholding in East Sussex, the culinary icon from Southport documented the development of his kitchen garden while teaming up with British producers, farmers, and gardeners who inspired him along the way. Other BBC shows, including Marcus in the Med which aired this year, and Simply Provence (2023), showcase the best of French and Mediterranean cuisine.

The 54-year-old's latest projects mark the start of a new chapter after the chef admitted that he “wanted a change in life to do different things”. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.createElement('script');el.
