The English Journeys

Jonathan takes the British Pullman to Whitstable in Kent where he faces his phobia for oysters. He goes foraging on the beach with ‘fine food forager' Lucia Jackson and cooks a gourmet dinner with his finds. His Northern Belle journey takes him to Rutland, the smallest historic county in England, where he has an early morning start making artisan bread. He then uses this bread to embark on a bread and butter pudding cook-off with Mark Beastall the chef of the Michelin starred country house hotel, Hambleton Hall. Back in London he is invited to the Orient-Express depot to see how the trains are restored, before cooking lunch with chef Anthony Garlando of Aqua, 31 storeys up, in the newly built Shard.
