S2 Ep27: Owen Barratt - Britains Best Sausage Maker & The Rise & Fall Of London's Iconic Foodie Hangout 'Monty's'!
Today we're joined by the wonderful Owen Barratt who was once co-owner & Exec Chef of London's famous foodie hangout 'Monty's' and is now running the incredibly successful 'Owens Sausages & Hams' down in Somerset. Monty's at its height was one of London's most sought after venues but after rapid expansion and the unforeseen arrival of Covid, it was forced to close its doors forevermore. Today we talk about the shocking emotional and physical impact the closure of Monty's had on Owen and how he's managed to fight back with his latest culinary offering. We also discuss how he went from being a signed musician to deciding to quit the industry to pursue his dream of being a restaurateur and how he managed to turn a market stool selling his food into 4 physical sites in London's most enticing post codes.
