After all, it was he who took a Michelin star with him when he stormed out of Pied à Terre, after a nationally reported event involving a scorching palette knife and a member of his brigade. Be careful.

Even though we're hoping his manners will be much improved at his new haunt (although a little clean-cut drama never hurt anyone), we're hoping his culinary mastery will be more of the same.

Fancy a bit of meat? Think braised pig's head, tongue and trotter, pork belly and celeriac purée – all presented like a platter of Pop Art.

Give Aikens a try to see what he's about - just mind your Ps and Qs, 'cause if there's one thing we've learned, those sharp silver things, they're not toys.
