The Inspectors on Harriet and Mike
"Mike didn't have his heart in it in the way that Harriet did and this business needs 150% of everybody's input".
Harriet and Mike look ahead
"Opening a restaurant is something I've wanted to do for some time. It's not want to, it's when it's going to happen".
Harriet and Mike's signature dish
English rack of spring lamb with a glazed gravy served with English new potatoes mash with a hint of garlic.
Background and culinary experience
Mike (57) is the director of two recruitment businesses. Harriet (26) is an event planner and has worked as a Crown Court clerk.
I hope Raymond Blanc would think of us as an interesting dynamic, a strong team with some good potential and good existing skills.
Harriet
Although neither is formally trained, Harriet and Mike are knowledgeable about food and Harriet is a passionate cook.
They often serve three course dinner parties for up to 24 people. Harriet is Mike's only child and they are very close.
