Henry stars as Gareth Blackstock, the arrogant, tyrannical and driven chef, and later owner, of a gourmet restaurant called Le Chateau Anglais in the English countryside. Gareth usually treats people, except his wife Janice, but including customers and investors, with contempt and humourously goes into sarcastic tirades when someone especially attracts his ire. One of his favourite targets is his inexperienced sous chef Everton.

The restaurant was modelled on, and many scenes were filmed at, Le Manoir Aux Quatre Saisons, a restaurant in Oxfordshire owned by chef Raymond Blanc.
