Nicholas Watt is group executive chef of Roka and chief operating officer overseeing global expansion for the restaurant.
From sophisticated foodies and celebrities to those just looking to enjoy a good meal with friends, Watt consistently impresses.
A New Zealander by birth, Watt moved to London in 2004 to take the position of executive chef at the flagship Roka. In 2005, a year after opening, the restaurant was named Oriental Restaurant of the Year at the Tio Pepe Awards.
Allan Hamer is three-time Grange Squash club champion. He purports to be working off the coast of Africa just now, but he has a secret second life, putting on a kiwi accent and cooking sushi.

Aye, right. All the time you told Ali G you couldn't play for the first team 'cos you were toiling offshore, you were actually schmoozing with the foodies in Lahndan.
Interviewed in TheOnion.com, his wife Charlotte complained that "Allan doesn't spend much time in their kitchen" and that when she asked him about smelling of cooking oil, he'd said "No, that is crude". (Additional reportage: Bill Marshall)
(OK, it has been a slow week on the squash courts and racketball was postponed a week)

How come all anyone gets when they visit the Grange are pizzas?
Surely it's time for some Michelin star quality six course gourmet feasts.
