AIBU to think he's bloody sexy? He's lovely looking and seems to be so nice personality wise too. He can cook! He's certainly making my Sunday afternoon nicer.

I bump into him frequently around Marlow, always says hi and holds the door open when I see him at the gym (we seem to go at the same times), and a couple of weeks ago he was in the pub with another guy and a few kids, he was trying to get the kids to keep the volume down, and as they were all trooping out, he apologised about the noise to my mate and I.

so he seems like a decent enough bloke from what I see day to day.

we’re also regulars in the Coach and he’s often doing the cooking, or at least supervising which is more than a lot of the celeb chefs in Marlow do.

But he ruined the only decent normal pub in Marlow - O’Ds! And for that I will never forgive him!

Snap,I find his programme's boring.

The sexiest chef is sadly no longer with us

Can’t believe nobody else has agreed with this! Parts Unknown is an incredible tv show.

Met Marco at a book signing, he is sex on legs, alluring and an absolute gent. Nothing like his on screen persona.

He invited me and my DH to his gastro pub nearby, unfortunately we were on a time schedule otherwise we would have. Lovely man.

Magnetic, magnificent, mercurial Marco!

Yanbu! 🤭🤭

He's on Sunday brunch next week

After james martin, he's the next sexiest chef 😄 - I'd maybe chuck Gordon Ramsey and Paul hollywood into the mix too

It's les Frenchies for me - Michel Roux Jr and Raymond Blanc!

I don't dislike him. Seems OK but I don't fancy him in the slightest.

Yes I find Gordon rather offputting. It’s mostly his rudeness, which is never funny, just rude.

I think that's a persona. He's supposed to be lovely in real life.

He seems like a nice bloke and I like his kitchen.

I watched an episode of one of his programmes and he made an ‘easy’ recipe and then got out the blow torch and made it all fancy and it put me off as it wasn’t realistic I don’t think. I also heard his prices are over inflated.

The only time I hear about Tom Kerridge is when he charges extortionate prices for normal things. He's a complete chancer, so YABU

He is a jolly nice man. He cooked and delivered tens of thousands of meals to Key Workers in Bucks in Covid and still now provides food for those in need around his local area.

shuggles · 20/04/2025 16:58

@PinataHeeHaw Charging people a whopping £37 for a battered fish and 8 chips. What a lovely man.

Spanish Chef Omar Allibhoy is good on the eye as well as being a brilliant cook.

@KittyMcKitty

"he paid them above MW and treated them pretty well"

With the prices he's able to charge, would you not expect him to be more beneficent?

For all businesses, it's always about the bottom line.

Not their personality or how sexy they are.

AngelicKaty · 20/04/2025 16:54

@PinataHeeHaw Tom Kerridge? Sexy? TOM KERRIDGE? Have you put too much sherry in your trifle? I mean, you have Matt Tebbutt and James Martin on the menu, but you think Tom Kerridge is sexy? Dear God, I think you have a serious case of food poisoning ... 😂

That comes at a cost though, namely that he seems to live predominantly off misshapen root vegetables.

KittyMcKitty · 20/04/2025 16:47

My daughter worked in one of his many restaurants in our town when she was in the 6th form (as did everyone else pretty much at her school) - he paid them above MW and treated them pretty well - they all had proper contracts etc. She didn’t work in the H&F so he didn’t cook where she was but he came in with his son to eat v frequently and was always pleasant.

on a negative he parked massively badly next to me recently so I had to climb in through the passenger door (knew it was his car as he came and got in just after I’d climbed into my drivers seat).
