How a Michelin-starred kitchen survives three decades of changing leadership
In short: Pied à Terre has held its prestigious status since 1991. This film explores how the restaurant maintains its culinary identity while rotating through eight different head chefs over 35 years.
Founded on Charlotte Street by David Moore and Richard Neat, Pied à Terre remains a constant in London's dining scene under owner David Moore. While the leadership has evolved—from co-founder Richard Neat to current head chef Aggelos Kassais—the restaurant preserves its legacy through a lineage of shared knowledge.
To illustrate this progression, the footage showcases three distinct items: Silverhill Duck by Kassais himself, Rooster Tortellini, and an original Panfried Seabass. By interviewing former chefs like Steve Drake and Andy Beynon alongside current leadership, the film reveals what traditions are strictly handed down and which elements of the kitchen have modernized over three decades.
