Antonio Carluccio - Carluccio's

When Italian chef Antonio Carluccio and his wife Pricilla opened the first Carluccio's caffè, restaurant and foodshop in 1991, their aim was to provide great quality, authentic Italian food at affordable prices.

Marco Pierre White - Frankie's Italian Bar & Grill

When Marco Pierre White hung up his chef's whites and retired from cooking in 1999, the foodie world despaired. But instead of disappearing from the restaurant scene entirely, Marco became a restaurateur, and now has a number of enterprises all over Britain.

Marco joined forces with racing jockey Frankie Dettori to create Frankie's Italian Bar & Grill, a chain of exciting family restaurants serving everything from burger's and pizzas to fish and steak. There are 4 restaurants in London - Knightsbridge, Chiswick, Putney and the department store Selfridges.

Rick Stein - Stein's Fish & Chips

Rick Stein is the King of seafood, and with no less than 5 establishments in the beautiful Cornish harbour town of Padstow, it's not hard to find somewhere to sample his tasty food. But if you're on a budget, head to Stein's Fish & Chips, where you can get Rick's delicious fresh fish in a traditional British chippie.

If you want to push the boat out, you can start with oysters, or treat yourself to Sea Bass, Tuna, or John Dory with chips instead of the traditional Cod or Haddock.
