something truly special. Article continues below "My focus is on classical flavour combinations, ingredients that speak for themselves, and food people genuinely want to eat - not just

admire. I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel, I just want to make it turn really, really well." The Warwick will open at Mallory Court Country House Hotel and Spa, Harbury Lane,
