Opening a restaurant in the context of a world pandemic is unarguably a gamble.
Many restaurants, pubs, cafes and hotels are still closed, and others are at risk of closure. In these uncertain times, is it unreasonable to go it alone, or is it a fresh start, a chance to open a restaurant adapted to the current crisis in ways existing restaurants can't afford to do?

In this episode Kray Treadwell, Great British Menu 2019 finalist and former head chef at The Man Behind the Curtain, and acclaimed chef Kevin Tickle, who earned a Michelin star while at the helm at The Forest Side, are taking that gamble.

Kray's debut restaurant, 670 grams, launched on Wednesday - and though it might seem like a rash decision, he has little choice but to open.

Kevin recently announced he was taking over an Inn in the Lakes so he is at the beginning of his journey but hopes to be open in October.
