Episode notes

The QuaranTea Break Podcast is back - the socially distant teabreak with some extraordinary people. Host Simon Ward once again chats remotely with some of the biggest names from the world of entertainment to find out how they're coping, what they've been doing and what they've been watching.


In this second episode in season 2, restauranteur, chef and broadcaster Simon Rimmer joins Simon for a remote conversation direct from his home kitchen! He talks about his two major pandemic experiences – being on Sunday Brunch during the early days of lockdown and how he’s coped with being a restauranteur during the most disruptive time his industry has ever faced.


And yes, we of course talk about pandemic Strictly Come Dancing.


Simon has been on my podcast wish list from day one (not just because he’s a Liverpool fan, but that helps!). He didn’t disappoint. Funny, honest… and he predicted Liverpool would win the league (this was recorded before the Burnley game, so please forgive our January optimism *SAD FACE*). Do also check out Simon’s podcast, Grilled, which features great conversations with legends from the world of food.
