In the restaurant, Crabbe is helped by chefs Steve Turner (Joe Duttine; 21 episodes) and then, Gary Palmer (Nick Lamont; 20 episodes) – both reformed ex-criminals – and John the waiter (Ashley Russell) and Linda the waitress (Alison McKenna). The latter was subsequently replaced by Nicola the waitress (Samantha Janus). After Nicola's departure, she is in turn replaced by Sally (Marsha Thomason). Also, reappearing throughout is Leon Henderson (Nick Raggett), who supplies the restaurant with fruit and vegetables, as well as working there, some evenings doing the washing up.

One of Henry's heroes, the (fictional) food writer Hilary Smallwood (the other being Alexis Soyer), is modelled on Elizabeth David.

Famous quotes containing the word cast:

    By the time a person has achieved years adequate for choosing a direction, the die is cast and the moment has long since passed which determined the future.
    Zelda Fitzgerald (1900–1948)

    But first Elpenor came, our friend Elpenor,
    Unburied, cast on the wide earth,
    Limbs that we left in the house of Circe,
    Unwept, unwrapped in sepulchre, since toils urged other.
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    The old man had heard that there was a wreck and knew most of the particulars, but he said that he had not been up there since it happened. It was the wrecked weed that concerned him most ... and those bodies were to him but other weeds which the tide cast up, but which were of no use to him.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
