But when I was very fortunate, yes, I was brought from a council estate, but at the top of my road was the old Mortland Golf Course.
I used to walk across that, a little bit of the Moortown Golf Course, and I was on the Harewood Estate, designed by Capability Brown, rather magnificent, rather beautiful.
So from this hell, I was living.
But then I have this wonderful world where I could escape.
What was the hell?
Being at home with my father, having no mother.
Well, without question, they were.
Firstly, they created an environment...
which was so magical that I don't know another restaurant I've ever been to which had the magic of the box tree.
To have gone there as a boy of 17 years old and to have been exposed to that world and the methods that box tree used weren't conventional, but what they created was deliciousness.
It was extraordinary.
But their generosity, again, was extraordinary.
Well, that's where everything happened was at the Box Tree.
And they used to always say, you never know what the bosses think of you until the day you give your notice.
And I said to Michael Lawson, what does that mean?
Michael Lawson, he was the head chef.
He'd take me out on a Monday because he was a lonely man.
He was a gentleman, the most beautiful soul.
He said, if they don't care for you, they just accept your notice.
If they like you and respect you and feel that you have a value, they invite you to the Chinese room and they'll offer you money.
