In person Alain is cheeky, handsome and has a very natural ease about him. He’s the perfect gentleman, asking if I have a drink or need anything, before continuing. “I think the crew will remember that for the rest of their lives, because they had to give my uncle and dad a break. Lucky it was a programme they can edit because otherwise it wouldn’t...
Forty years ago Michel Roux Senior, along with his brother and co-founder of Le Gavroche, Albert, (the first restaurant in the UK to achieve three Michelin stars) acquired a traditional English pub that was transformed into The Waterside Inn. “I love it here in Bray. I see myself as a countryside boy. Cities are good for when I’ve got time off or w...
Alain has held on to his father’s signature dishes, such as the medallion of lobster with julienne ginger (on the menu for 35 years) and grilled rabbit served with celeriac fondant, but has also enhanced classic dishes to his own taste. “I don’t invent anything like Heston,” – Blumenthal, owns The Fat Duck, located just down the road – “I just use ...

Cliché I know. While I was researching Alain I got the impression that he is very shy and withdrawn and that he’s quite happy to remain less inconspi...
Alain spent almost a year at each French restaurant including Provence, Chateux de Montreux and Burgundy, so when he arrived at The Waterside Inn at the bottom of the ladder he knew he had to prove himself. It was an issue that reared its ugly head a few years later. “In France I used to normally have promotions and more responsibility in my work, ...
Michel Snr is now an official resident of Switzerland, a country that he loves because it reminds him of France 40 or 50 years ago, plus he gets to play lots of golf, spending a couple of months a year in England, a time when he and Alain can reconnect. “Dad keeps an eye on me and I regard him as my best teacher. When he’s here I like to share thin...
It all worked out for the best. The Waterside Inn is the only restaurant in the UK to have retained three Michelin stars for over 25 years. It gained its first in 1974. “Is it a pressure? Yes and no. Some restaurants in France have been holding three longer than that. Some have done far less and have lost the third star or maybe one star. So things...
“We try to change every year but with our little boy it makes things more difficult. It’s more for him and after that we see what we can do together.” Ah yes, Paul, Alain’s two-year old son with his wife Laura, who he married in 2010. So what would Alain say if his son wanted to become a chef? “I’d ask him to try and do something else!” he says lau...
