Learnt from the best

Waraporn Dale grew up watching her mother and father cook in Phetchabun, Thailand. They taught her that fresh ingredients decide whether a dish works.

She came to the UK in 1994 and worked up from kitchen assistant to head chef, then opened her first restaurant in 1998. The aim from the start was for the rooms to be more than eateries: places to sit for a while.
