By the time Marco Pierre White chanced his arm at a job at Le Gavroche in 1981, its co-founder Albert Roux, who has died at the age of 85, was a well-established figure in the culinary firmament.
Indeed the restaurant had just moved from its original premises in Lower Sloane Street to Upper Brook Street in swanky Mayfair. But still at the stove was Albert, who had opened Le Gravroche in 1967 with his brother Michel, who predeceased him in March last year.
IMPORTANT progress is being made on the move of the GP surgery in Winchester city centre. The city council has agreed to sell the leasehold of the Upper Brook Street car park to a specialist primary healthcare provider who will build the new St Clement s practice which has around 15,000 patients. Final negotiations will be undertaken before the sale goes through, the Cabinet heard. Civic chiefs worked with St Clements and the West Hampshire clinical commissioning group to select the developer, now revealed as Assura plc. St Clements has been working to relocate to the car park at Upper Brook Street for several years to replace its rapidly ageing building on Tanner Street.
