I’ve been a chef for 14 years and he is showing exactly how to run a kitchen. Urgency, but calm, criticism but not insulting. Exactly how a kitchen should be run. Too many people think chefs are like Gordon Ramsay, we’re not. Food looked delicious too.

10 minutes of this felt exhausting already, can't imagine a whole night at this pace. Kitchen workers just deserve respect, super hard role.

I was instructed to be head chef today (because I am in training) and it looks easy but it’s really not. It was the first time that I felt useless in a kitchen. Definitely inspired by this and I hope I can reach this level someday.

Calmer and more coordinated than when I'm cooking for two, in my own home, trying desperately to find where I put the tongs.

I love how calm he is in telling one cook that the clam soup isn't thick enough and how one branding needs to be clearer whilst keeping the kitchen nice and tighty. Very respectable.

"Don't ever touch my checks" that was the most calm way I have every heard that said, yet had so much power behind it that I felt like I did something wrong lol

I am an absolute sucker for people working together like clockwork. I can't describe how amazing this footage is to me. It seems like an honour to be part of your kitchen! Nothing but respect within this beautiful hierarchy

I love that despite being the head chef, you still say yes chef when appropriate. That's leading by example. Creating an environment of respect and courtesy.

I was a pastry chef for almost 5 years. I started out at 23 washing dishes then worked my way up to being a kitchen porter then to a commis pastry chef after he quit I was thrown into the deep end. I sadly lost my job due to COVID closing the place I worked at down for good and now in a new career. This video brings back a lot of memories and shows how everyone works as a team to get things done. My old head chef used to say "nothing and nobody is above the food, every plate that goes out that puts a smile on a customers face its all ours, the plate is here because of the dishwashers, the ingredients here because of the kitchen porters, the food because of the chefs, the menu because of me and people get to enjoy it and have a good experience because of the waiters".

I love how he always tries to make little compliments to the other chefs when he sees something thats nicely done. I imagine this works wonders for team motivation!

I would love to see a few GoPros stuck up in the corners of the kitchen with an omnidirectional mic picking up all of the action for an entire day from prep to clean up.

Getting slammed on the pass and still finding time to grab a hot soapy, swap mep in to clean containers, give advise, tips ans critiques AND send out incredible food… that’s fucking proper chef right there…🙌🏼👌🏼💪🏼👊🏻

I have a lot of respect for this. I work in the food industry (by no means such a nice restaurant as this), but watching the calm way the entire staff works even through mistakes is really something. It’s very easy to get overwhelmed and shut down.

Having an open kitchen would be ten times more stressful but this guy takes it in his stride, respect.

I absolutely loved how no matter how busy he was, he still made time to make everything absolutely spotless. It's amazing how neat and organized he was able to keep everything.

you guys might think the chef runs this restaurant but you’d be incorrect 1:25 if it wasn’t for this fine gentleman the restaurant would be fucked

i have only done prep work in a small kitchen, and well, the nights we got slammed were nothing like this, this is so much more, i gave y'all mad props for being able to work under pressure!!

The skills you need to develop or already have for this is just unimaginable. Having a huge crowd watching you and pretty much relying on you and your ability to manage the kitchen.

Awesome video! These POV service videos are my favourite on the channel followed by the food preparation and making the dishes

I have never worked in a kitchen before or seen something like this and let me just say it is mesmerizing, intricate, and beautiful! I have so many questions about what's going on and just had a great time watching! Thank you

i love everything about this channel, I enjoy cooking at home, and I always admire the skill, precision, the fluent constant and quick pace. I like to imagine myself as a home chef, yet these videos always bring me back to the humble reality that I don't compete lol.

I really love this channel. What I do miss are the pov's of the chefs in the restaurant. We need more of those.

Can we get a POV of a Dishwasher worker Everyone plays a vital role in a busy kitchen

I'm currently running a kitchen with a line chef and a kitchen hand in a small cafe. This is the first time I'm working as a head chef. Things I learnt by watching these videos are countless. Specially, keep your coolness and being calm but still doing a fast service is very important. And also this is my dream kitchen!!!

I love the small attention to details in everything the chef does and the thought put into the dishes. Particularly the extra sauce that goes on the side with some dishes so that the customer can choose how much they want.

my thanks to the chef. as a fellow cook who have a realy hard time concentrating on reading. these video are the only background sound that help me focus. thank you ! love the content also !

The feeling of being a leader is amazing and having the people be confident and trust you and to have your back working hard just shows you’re a great person!

This is just artistry in its purest form. Absolutely stunning

I worked food for a few years when I was younger and I loved it, but I had a talent with computers and knew I could make much more money with them. I still absolutely love cooking, I watch and read about it very often and cook all the time... I still daydream of having a job as a chef sometimes, I love footage like this, really allows us to live vicariously through you. Absolutely amazing service, thanks for creating this, I'd love to eat here some day.

That just flew by, I was so engrossed! Absolutely mesmerising.

this was inspiring. my first viewing of a truly accurate service video. beautiful orchestration of movement and crew. thank you for posting.

Thank you chef and your team for letting us into your kitchen. This was soo cool. I would never be able to work at this speed.

To anyone saying gloves. Gloves make 0 sense in a restaurant. Your hands are going to get dirty regardless. It’s easier and quicker to wash your hands without gloves on.

im currently in chef training at my current restaurant by no means high end at all but the utter chaos and insane pressure they put on you is crazy from FOH and BOH for a low end establishment, everyone in this video is so calm and collected i'd love to learn under a team like this so coordinated and attentive to detail, seems like a great work environment.

It’s so satisfying to watch that doesn’t look like a 40 minute video lol, the calm that the chef irradiate is amazing..

It is just insane how much work they do...kudos to you guys

In my time working in kitchens, I've been at the receiving end of abuse...the way you handled this incredibly busy lunch service is a testament to your integrity and the fact that you treat your fellow chefs as human beings and not as simply cogs in a machine is a model for how kitchens should be run. Thank you for showing this.

been a line cook for a long time, stepped off for a while.. watching this makes me miss my old team. props for keeping the stations clean

Always a pleasure to watch these chef cams!

Was in the industry from 2010-2017. Still miss the fun and rush whenever i see a video like this

commented many times on how much i love this restaurant friends from cornwall are heading to london this week so iv'e said to them to eat here .I noticed you said please to the kitchen porter when asking to clean the floor ! i started as a kp before chefing little things like that warm my heart

11:22 "how are you chef?" feels bad man, didnt get a reply

It's like a symphony in that kitchen. I don't know anything about the kitchen, but this was so impressive and satisfying to watch.

I love how the plates are lined up with the tickets, very organized, love it

These videos give me chills

Beautiful coordination, technique, the grace in which he conducted himself.

I love that everything looks so orderly and clean amongst the chaos!

I can watch 5 hours of this and never be bored

this was so relaxing to watch how calm he is I need to take notes

I work as a food runner at one of these high end restaurants and I can confirm that these chefs are talented. Requires a lot of focus and skill.

I can feel the pressure of the frier. he is literally one glance away. not only that, but a bad sear is one shout away always receives crits and praise. good lad.

The kitchen moves like beautiful sound. Great to see. 🫡

Awesome! Would love to see a video explaining al the different roles in the kitchen during service!

i just sat down to watch this man work for 40 minutes with all my attention

After graduating from high school in 1969, I worked as a dishwasher at a high end restaurant in Montreal in the Summer before entering university in the Fall. The chefs at the Lapanina Restaurant treated us dishwashers like dirt.

Been a sous for 2 years now, 5min into my first video and already love this! Thank you, chef! “Cook with a sense of urgency, clean with a sense of love”

hats off!! what a wonderful teamwork

I miss working in a restaurant being that cog in the machine. It feels great when everyone works great together and everything comes out excellent within a timely manner.

Love these slice of life videos. I live and work in Texas, but just for an instance i can see what a chef in a high end restaurant in the heart of London does.

loving it... the passion und work of detail!

Guy on the grill making ur veg is the man! taking everything and rolling with it love watching this type of flow makes me want to work harder in my kitchen job

1:20 could have at least answered him man that's not cool

dude I'm impressed with 3 things I find myself struggling with a lot. 1st the amount of efficient cleaning you do is above and beyond 2st the focus of how you manage each tickets knowing exactly which one is which. and 3rd the attention of seeing a individual troubled from the guests.

Pure intense work amount and pressure, serving customers. Big salute from me

This is extremely impressive but we must acknowledge how a good team makes the entire operation run flawlessly.

After watching so many of these videos, I think I could plate most of the dishes.

I worked as a waiter in a restaurant/hotel in my neighbourhood and even though I worked at the bar most of the time in a different part of the building, I worked in the restaurant for a few weeks and the suffering was undescribable. The stress for me was sometimes too much and I almost broke down a couple of times. Most of the other waiters were old idiots who don't care for a teenager who will be there and gone in a few months. Same for the head of the establishment. But this video reminded me of the cooks and 1 waiter who actually treated me as a human and a real person. That waiter Martin, he would joke around me when he could and call me funny names, not in a rude way. We would talk about football and how his son is a goalkeeper. He actually helped me and with his help I learned a lot. Also the cooks, of those in the morning shift I only really got to know the dish guy. But in the afternoon shift I got to know the head of the kitchen, a Albanian, buff and a sweet guy. He always asked me if Im hungry and what would I want to eat. Same for the female chef. Those few moment where there was no work, when we would chill in the "smoking room" I felt like we were a family. Sometimes I miss those moment, but I wont do something similar Im sure of it.

Love these POV videos cant wait for next

28:05 Don't ever touch my check! Yes chef, I will never do it again!

Would love to see another pastry chef POV!

This is such healthy communication it makes it so smooth to watch

As a cook this is so beautiful to me the organization and staying calm in the chaos is so beautiful and what I love about working in a kitchen very exciting

I love this kitchen. I work at a local Italian restaurant in Ontario and our kitchen is small but we always put out good food.

I run a kitchen at a smoked meat kitchen in Washington state. Brisket ribs pork prime rib chicken. On my way to watching the way your kitchen work I have used your smooth techniques to tidy up my kitchen. Cheers mate

Good job, working and teaching perfectly.

Why am i binging this. So satisfying. Keep up the good work and i hope ill be able to visit your restaurant one day.

lmfao completely ignored that dishwasher when he was getting the soap

i hope respect is given to the dishwasher without him yall wouldn't be able to run but good job running the kitchen how it is suppose to be

This is the best advert you could ever do for your restaurant. I'm a Yank but if I'm ever in London I'll be stopping by.

Incredible composure, chef! Great watch

i was wondering when he would wash his hands 😂

The chef writing a note for “branding clean up” is my favourite thing in this video.

That mayo pour at the end was just the chefs kiss for the whole video. Loved it.

My brother is going to culinary school to be a chef at one of our high end restaurants, sent him this video!! Calm but definitely on the “lets go!” urgency level

Love episodes like this :D

poor dishwasher straight ignored :(

I have no idea why this was recommended to me, but it was a great watch - thanks for sharing

Amazing work, precisely how the head chef needs to be. Very well done sir.

11:23 bro ask "how are you chef?" and get fully blanked lool

This is great!!

The amount of stress that I got just looking at these tickets, thinking about the olden days of working at the always busy fast food joint, finding peace just doing dishes in the back because even though the waters too hot and the dishes are soaked with butter and ketchup and nasty smells in the back, at least you aren’t the head chef. This dude is a champ, my upmost respect, thank you for doing what I can not do

no break at all, very intense. My hats off

As always, those Fallow burger buns look divine. I NEED a recipe!

Amazing video as usual chef! Also I noticed there's no sight of Will throughout the service. Is he at Fowl, the chicken shop? Will he comes back to Fallow or will he stay there for some time?

Great work . I stopped cooking 2 years ago . Love this live

Its so satisfying to see how the kitchen flows. Also confusing at times and honestly it would give me an instant panic attack if i was there 😅.

11:20 poor guy got totally ignored

I'd be curious to know more about that deep fried cauliflower and what it tastes like

so relaxed and in control.

Feels like I'm waiting for my salary after watching full clip
