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.

Famous quotes containing the word cast:

    “It was always the work that was the gyroscope in my life. I don’t know who could have lived with me. As an architect you’re absolutely devoured. A woman’s cast in a lot of roles and a man isn’t. I couldn’t be an architect and be a wife and mother.”
    —Eleanore Kendall Pettersen (b. 1916)

    “I would rather not see such winds subside, which carry your slow ship away, although they leave me, cast down, on an empty shore, often, with clenched hand, calling you cruel.”
    —Propertius Sextus (c. 50–16 B.C.)

    “Nothing is so foolish, they say, as for a man to stand for office and woo the crowd to win its vote, buy its support with presents, court the applause of all those fools and feel self-satisfied when they cry their approval, and then in his hour of triumph to be carried round like an effigy for the public to stare at, and end up cast in bronze to stand in the market place.”
    —Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)
