Spoilers ahead
Andy Jones is Head Chef of Jones & Sons, an upmarket restaurant in London, where the evening starts with a sting of disappointment that ripples through the kitchen and dining room alike. The restaurant’s food hygiene rating has been downgraded from a pristine 5 to a 3 after a routine audit. The inspector flags a series of practical failings: Camille, the new cold chef, washes her hands in the food preparation sink, and Tony, the demi-chef, tosses oysters without gloves, raising the risk of cross-contamination. The downgrade isn’t just a number; it lands as a public embarrassment for the place and a personal blow to Andy’s pride as the head of the operation.
