The launch of the gin tops off a busy month for James. Two weeks ago, he proudly reopened one of his restaurants – The Kitchen at Chewton Glen in Hampshire. James celebrated by sharing a photo of a kitchen ticket machine, with a huge stack of orders on a spike next to it. He wrote: "It may mean nothing to some. This picture was taken by me just now halfway through service but it's a restaurant's life." He concluded: "If you know you know… we are back."

"All set ready for the first day of two days filming for the new Saturday show series... new ideas and lots to do 34 recipes to cook hope you like them."
