CHEF AND AUTHOR - SAM STAFFORD
Sam was born in London and attended the famous public school Harrow. Always an individual, Sam was often struggling against the old fashioned and regimented system of boarding school life. This was highlighted one sunny afternoon whilst in his school cadet force. Having spent four years in his school army regiment Sam had worked his way up to Sergeant Major and it was during his final parade before leaving school that he was asked by a visiting senior army officer:
'Are you going to have a career in the army Sergeant Major?'
'No sir!', replied Sam
'Then what do you want to be?'
'I want to be a rock star, sir!'
... And so began Sam's career as a rock star.
