Whites

In the first episode of this brand new comedy series, we meet Roland White and his team in the kitchen of the White House restaurant. His sous chef Bib Spears is working under masses of pressure, whilst Roland is taking his own time, away from service, to write a book that nobody has asked him to, much to the annoyance of restaurant manager Caroline.

Caroline is annoyed that Roland has yet again failed to update the menu and pushes him to come up with a new one. As Bib is so keen to introduce new dishes, Roland sees this as an opportunity and asks him to design the new menu. Bib is ecstatic. Roland is clearly troubled when celebrity chef Shay Marshall arrives at the hotel in his helicopter.

A car convention takes place at Thaxted Manor. Bib is under pressure from his wife as they are desperately trying for a baby. He races against time to make it to the fertility clinic, which isn't easy when Skoose is lurking round every corner. Skoose is put in charge and uses that position to his own advantage, much to the delight of Kiki.

Roland finds out that the Health and Safety inspector does not take bribes and must find a creative way to prevent the kitchen from being shut down.

Roland finally gets a chance in the spotlight when he is invited to do a spot on TV show, Sunday Chefs. It's just a pity he's chosen to do it on a day where they have a function for 300 people, much to the annoyance of Bib and Caroline. Bib is driven close to the edge until a chance meeting with an Australian restaurant owner makes him take a step back and consider his future.

Roland must interview for a new sous-chef, while the kitchen chaotically prepares for a talent show. Caroline and Skoose both receive bad news, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel for everyone.
