Original News Story - Undergraduate helps renovate Southampton restaurant

Young graduate, Christina O’Hare recently helped renovate a local Southampton restaurant, ‘Old Delhi Eatery’ and Gordon Ramsey has visited to taste the food.

For the final of “Britain’s best local restaurant”, 10,000 nominated restaurants were narrowed down to 50, with ten in each food category. The food at each place was tried and tested by Janet Street Porter – a British television personality, Jean Baptiste – Gordon’s chief chef, or Ramsay himself.

This is why Gordon Ramsay was at ‘Old Delhi Eatery’. The restaurant was a contender in the Indian Cuisine category. The marketing executive and graduate, Christina O’Hare, was fully involved with the renovation of the place. Her role included the exterior design, creating new menus and web design. She thinks that eating out in Southampton has moved up a notch and is in a different league to other areas. Christina said: “Having Gordon Ramsey taste the food here shows how successful [Old Delhi Eatery] has become after the refurbishment.”

Executive chef Abdul Kayam said: “Christina has been an asset to us and has given our restaurant the opportunity it needed to compete with upmarket restaurants in Southampton. Cooking with Chef Ramsay was also a fantastic experience ”

Abdul recently opened another restaurant called the ‘Bangkok Brasserie’ in Winchester after his experience with Gordon Ramsay.
