Learning On The Jobs Running A Small Food Business.

This week Robbie spoke to a good friend and mentor, Terry Laybourne. Terry has been in the hospitality industry for 40 years, owning many restaurants, a pub, hotel and now two restaurants with a retail offering. Terry's restaurant 21 Queen Street was the first restaurant to be awarded a Michelin star in Newcastle, which he held for many years before handing it back to turn the space into a modern-style bistro under the name Cafe 21. Terry has also been awarded MBE for his contribution to the industry. This is hopefully the first of a couple of podcasts Robbie intends to do with Terry.
