News about Marco Pierre White

TALK OF THE TOWN: Pupils at a flood-ravaged primary school have moved from makeshift classrooms into a Hogwarts-style castle, thanks to the generosity of a local aristocrat. The 19th Earl of Devon has welcomed around 60 pupils to start the new term at his family seat of Powderham Castle, near Exeter. However, there have been some caveats. The children from Kenton primary school have been banned from rolling down the hill - and told not to chase his animals.

The troubled ex Big Brother contestant, 29, was jailed for 41 weeks this week after his tattoos - seen on CCTV - led police to his door. Jon Ison, owner of the Bath cafe he targeted, Abbey's Deli, which has featured in all three series of Bridgerton, said the son of Marco Pierre White had stolen nearly £1,000 from the cafe in two separate raids.

The troubled former Big Brother contestant has been sentenced to 41 weeks behind bars following the burglary of a deli in Bath, Somerset. He was caught on camera taking £250 from the till before snagging his tracksuit as he tried to make his way out via a window - revealing his identifiable tattoos. Police who recognised who he was as a result were able to arrest him the same day. The ex-reality TV star, 29, who has struggled with drug addiction, broke into the Grade-II listed courtyard Abbey Deli in the early hours of May 23 last year.

Guests visiting Marco Pierre White's Rudloe Arms (right) are told on its website to 'expect good old-fashioned hospitality'. So it must have come as surprise for those at the country house hotel near Bath when bailiffs arrived. The recent incident is understood to be related to debts owed by Marco's son Luciano, whose own restaurant business recently collapsed leaving investors £300,000 out of pocket. Last night, a source said: 'Marco has been comprehensively dumped in it by his son. Enforcement officers went into the hotel when customers were there. Marco knows how to run a successful business and his admin people would never have allowed an unpaid invoice to reach this stage. But Luciano knows next to nothing about management and either he, or his associates, have obviously just ignored demands for payment. Marco will be furious.'

The Camden Art Cafe, a self-styled 'autonomous' group of radical activists, took over Gordon Ramsay's former York & Albany pub in north London last week in what they claimed was a legal occupation of the building. The group were yesterday served papers by Ramsay forcing them to 'cancel' their plans to turn his pub into a soup kitchen, which they said they were running from the Camden eatery. Meanwhile, a massive clean-up operation is underway after squatters invaded celebrity chef Marco Pierre White's former restaurant in the heart of London's Leicester Square. One local businessman claimed owners could face a £100,000 bill after the empty Mr White's Steak, Pizza & Gin House restaurant was occupied by activists who threw a party for up to 400 people there at the weekend.

Up to '400 squatters' have moved into Marco Pierre White 's disused restaurant in the heart of London 's West End. The group, who pitched up a week ago, padlocked the doors and put up a sign warning they cannot be evicted without a court order as the building was vacant. Local business owners have slammed the squatters who were 'queuing to the back alley into the building for what looked like a big party'. It comes after TV chef Gordan Ramsay's Grade-II listed York & Albany hotel and Gastropub in Regent's Park was targeted by squatters who claimed they were setting up a homeless soup kitchen.

The TV chef has fallen for beautiful personal trainer Kim Johnson, (left and inset) after splitting from his girlfriend of 12 years, Louise Davies. And it seems as though these two have the recipe for potential success having been pictured looking very loved-up together, with James wearing a big smile on his face following a tumultuous year. On Saturday, the normally-private couple didn't mind who saw them when they had their arms around one another, placing their hands just above their bottoms, (right). James, 51, and Kim, 38, were first spotted looking at jewellery store in Tiffany's in London's Old Bond Street in April, which led to their relationship coming to light.

Disgraced former BHS boss Dominic Chappell was thrown back in jail after being caught secretly running a restaurant chain with the son of celebrity chef Marco Pierre White, The Mail on Sunday can reveal. Chappell, 56, who bought BHS from Sir Philip Green for £1 before it collapsed with the loss of 11,000 jobs, was released from prison last year after serving half his six-year sentence for tax fraud. Despite being barred from running companies, the shamed entrepreneur teamed up with his close friend Marco Pierre White and his son Luciano Pierre White, 34, also a chef, to help launch three Italian restaurants - only for the chain to fold with huge debts.

For anyone wanting Italian food in London today, there are hundreds of venues to choose from. From what was Little Italy in Clerkenwell to the hub of Italian venues in Soho, the capital is awash with outlets serving pasta, pizza and other dishes. The history of Italian food and culture in the capital stretches back to the 19th century, when immigrant ice cream sellers (bottom right, an ice cream seller in 1877) flogged their wares on poverty-stricken streets. London's oldest delicatessen, Terroni of Clerkenwell (top right), which opened during the reign of Queen Victoria, is still trading today. As is the iconic Soho establishment Bar Italia (left, and inset recently), which was set up in 1949 to serve good coffee and act as a social hub for the capital's Italian community.

After a one-fake online review lead to an avalanche of trolling about his Perth venue, it's 'deja vu' for Fyre bar and UK-born restaurateur John Mountain (right). After a series of bad customer feedback about the lack of plant-based alternatives, Mr Mountain made national news last year when he barred vegan diners from his restaurant. Now Fyre is the victim of fake reviews from a group of vegans in Germany who gave the restaurant poor one-star ratings online (left, during a vegan activist Tash Peterson's demonstration).

Fans of James Martin were stunned this week when MailOnline exclusively announced that he is dating Kim Johnson, Arun Nayar's personal trainer (bottom right). The unveiling of his new love brought an end to Louise Davies' 12-year marriage (top right) who quietly left in December with the intention of remaining 'firm friends.' Within three months of his divorce, James, 51, and Kim, 38, had met in a new way, and the two were seen together on Old Bond Street, where the legendary Tiffany & Co. is based. Though James has kept tight-lipped about his budding new love, he seemed smitten and in good spirits after a turbulent few months. Following a separate 2018 incident, reports of a second incident with ITV emerged, as it was said that the broadcaster had earlier been made aware of James' behavior. James apologised for his behaviour and admitted to the turbulence surrounding his personal life. He spoke about tragic events in his life, which began with the death of his grandfather, was followed by a home invasion by masked burglars, and then a shock cancer diagnosis.

With three Michelin stars on display, it's likely that the first British chef with three Michelin stars would trawl expensive specialty markets for his food. Marco Pierre White, on the other hand, is clearly keen on a bargain, and he is often seen at the Rudloe Arms in Corsham, near Bath. With rooms ranging from £199 to £325 a night, the hotel has '40 charming bedrooms and three shepherd huts.' Mr White's Aldi basket was packed with Birra Moretti, free-range eggs, and wholemeal bread, three keystays of his menus. However, although a 330ml bottle of the Italian beer costs £1.99 at Aldi, it sells for £8 at the hotel.

Jock Zonfrillo, 46, was discovered dead at Zagame's House hotel in Carlton, Melbourne's CBD, about 2 a.m. Lauren was in Italy with their two young children at the time, and she had called Victoria Police to request a welfare check because he stopped answering her calls.

He is best known for being the first British chef to win three Michelin stars. And although Marco Pierre White, 62, was not interested in a bargain when he saw it while heading to Aldi in Wiltshire on Monday, even though his restaurants were fine dining. As he sported a rugged look, round glasses, and fuller frame, the television favorite seemed worlds away from his Hell's Kitchen days.

Blackpool is the home of a new museum, according to Angela Epstein, and Marco Pierre White is opening a restaurant in the town. 'Blackpool is obviously trying to please all tastes,' she says. On her visit to the UK, she stays at the 'uber-luxe' Boulevard Hotel, which is located below the UK's highest rollercoaster. More information is available here.

Michel Roux Jr. has said the restaurant industry must shift from the era of'shoutt chefs' to ensure that the next generation of cooks' fall in love' with the venture. When asked if the company had 'come out of shouty chefs' category, he replied, 'I b****y hope so.' It's not because I went through a difficult start to my career that the youngsters now should go through that.' People of my age, as well as others, should learn from their experience, positives and negatives, in order to make it more useful for the next generation, and that's the most important.'

On Saturday night, Le Gavroche, a French fine dining establishment established by the Roux brothers Albert and Micheal Sr in 1967, closed for the final time. (left) The two Michelin starred establishment, which is now owned by Albert's son Michael Jr., 63, announced in August that he'make time for a better work/life balance,'and that he'spend more time with my family and on my other business ventures.' Le Gavroche was London's first French restaurant, serving classical French cuisine and the highest level of cuisine and service when it first opened.

On December 10, Soho nightclub G-A-Y Late will officially close its doors. Owner Jeremy Joseph announced that the LGBT venue was closing down due to a'very difficult' few years, including 'attacks' on employees and customers, as well as 'development activities' surrounding the venue, which may have been permanent. "There have also increased street safety issues," he said. G-A-Y Late is a destination venue, and that brings with its own street safety concerns.'

Melissa Leong, the former MasterChef Australia judge, has broken silence after the widow of her late co-star Jock Zonfrillo, Lauren Fried, sparked rumors of a behind-the-scenes feud. Fried eyebrows last week after she barely mentioned Leong, 42, in a post reacting to the new MasterChef Australia lineup. The new judges also took another shot at Leong by saying that they're'respect the privilege of being part of an extraordinary display.'

After being left sealed off behind security fences topped with razor wire, a former top-secret military base dubbed Britain's Area 51 has been plagued by break-ins, including former British Army Rudloe Manor in Wiltshire, has been plagued by break-ins.

BREAK: Following Nico Ladenis' death at the age of 89, tributes have been paid to him. When he first won three Michelin stars at 90 Park Lane in the 1990s, the chef, who famously taught himself how to cook, became a doyen of cuisine. In 1973, he opened Chez Nico in Dulwich, followed by Simply Nico in Pimlico in 1989. But it was his third appearance, Chez Nico at 90 Park Lane, which brought him to prominence.

Michel Roux Jr.'s (pictured left) late father Albert and uncle Michel opened the French fine dining establishment in 1967, which includes two Michelin stars. Le Gavroche was the first UK restaurant to be rewarded one, two, and then three Michelin stars. It was London's first French restaurant to feature classical French cuisine and the highest quality of cooking and service at the time of its opening. Roux Jr., Albert Roux's uncle, has been running the restaurant since 1991, earning two Michelin awards - one of the restaurant's most coveted awards. According to Le Gavroche's website, other celebrity chefs, such as Gordon Ramsay and Marco Pierre White, have earned their stripes.

Marco Pierre-White, a fiery man who started as a boutique hotelier, seems to have gone off the boil. Some visitors have rated his Cotswolds hideaway, the Rudloe Arms, as a 'nightmare' and linked to Fawlty Towers. A slew of bad comments have appeared on Tripadvisor lately, with some advising potential visitors to 'approach with caution' and 'give it a wide berth." Pierre-White, 61, bought Rudloe on the Internet in Corsham, near Bath, in 2012, and the 40-bedroom hotel received rave reviews after extensive renovations. But guests at the original Hell's Kitchen restaurant, where a double bedroom cost ranges from £145, have complained about bad food and service in recent months. One recent visitor compared it to staying at Fawlty Towers.'
