Series 1: 3. Greyabbey

Chef James Strawbridge visits Greyabbey House, hoping to create a menu which captures the history and character of the estate and impresses its owners, Bill and Daphne Montgomery.\n\nAfter arriving by a rather unusual method of transport, James is taken on a tour of Bill and Daphne’s magnificent home. James discovers how the Montgomery family's acquisition of Greyabbey is all down to a large piece of cheese and hears the tale of Bill’s unfortunate relative who met a dastardly death at the hands of a pirate.\n\nAt the coast nearby, James uncovers how a slippery sea substance was once a major source of income for local workers and landowners, before getting a taste of the stuff harvested fresh from the water.\n\nIt isn’t all play and no work for James though. After learning everything he can about Greyabbey’s past, he has to create a meal which both captures the estate’s history and impresses the people who know more about the house than anyone else – its owners.
