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."
