    Jul 24 2025

    For the final episode of the series, I'm joined by Jack Applebee - CEO of Applebee’s, the beloved Borough Market seafood spot now celebrating 25 years. We chat about what it’s like running a family business, growing up surrounded by food and traders, and how Jack’s leading the restaurant into a new era with a fresh look and renewed focus on sustainable British seafood. Plus, his dream dinner party setup in the mountains (complete with a seriously good menu), easy going hosting, and why oysters are always a good idea.

    This week, I’m joined by Chrissy Ryan - founder of BookBar, the beloved bookshop and wine bar that’s all about celebrating the social side of reading. We chat about building community through books, the dream dinner party she’d host (complete with flowing wine and iconic guests), and what it’s been like opening a second space in Chelsea. It’s a cosy, inspiring listen packed with great food, good chat, and a serious love of stories.
