00:00Welcome to Florida
00:02Florida life, nothing quite like it
00:03Home to theme parks, golden tans
00:06and 400,000 Brits
00:08I absolutely love it here
00:10Who've made the Sunshine State
00:12their new home
00:13This is what sold me out
00:14Who wouldn't want to live here like this
00:18They've swapped drizzly winters
00:20and gas bills for new careers
00:22and seemingly endless fun
00:24in the sub
00:26It's our little piece of paradise
00:28Get it right and life in Florida
00:30can be like a dream come true
00:32Every evening do this
00:34with your glass of wine
00:35But getting here and staying here
00:37takes hard work
00:38I do pinch myself every day
00:41Grit, we just lost the starboard motor
00:43and determination
00:44These are the Brits who've made their own
00:48Escape to Florida
00:54Today on Escape to Florida
00:59We're in the heat of the kitchen
01:00This is where the magic happens
01:03Will pub owner Martin's fish and chips
01:05pass the taste test
01:06We've got somebody coming in to do a review
01:08today for us, get all the staff in there
01:10every time they bring one out
01:11Make sure they look the same every single time
01:16Hi, hi, do you remember me?
01:18Who's that?
01:19Dance school owner Sarah
01:20helps out husband Scott
01:21with walkies
01:23No, no, no, no, over here
01:24You're so fast
01:29I need some more tongs for this one
01:31And chefs Anthony and Michelle
01:33have the opportunity to kick start
01:35their private catering business
01:37She's got some high profile people
01:39coming to this event
01:40That would be great
01:41to be able to blow this one out of the park
01:42and get more business
01:51In the heart of sunny central Florida
01:54sits the city of Claremont
01:56With a population of 50,000
01:58and a vibrant British community
02:02It's home to old and born Martin
02:04and wife Beverly
02:06Hi guys, how was that?
02:08It was amazing
02:09They made the move to Florida in 2019
02:13Timing felt right
02:14and we said, listen, let's go on a journey
02:16and see where it takes us
02:17Five months ago
02:18they opened their new pub
02:19The Best of British
02:21Did I think I would be running a pub
02:23ten years ago?
02:24Absolutely not
02:25and certainly not in Florida
02:26I enjoy it
02:27I enjoy speaking to people
02:28I was a car dealer for many years
02:29so, you know, that comes from that as well
02:32Launching the business
02:33took all their life savings
02:36I've put about a quarter of a million
02:38into getting this business right
02:40It was a huge worry
02:43It was a huge risk
02:45taking on this place
02:47With running costs
02:48totalling $15,000 a month
02:51Martin has tried lots of big ideas
02:53to keep customers
02:54coming through the door
02:56We have to really make an effort
02:58There's always a lot of attractions
02:59for people when they come here
03:01on holiday
03:01or for locals
03:02We have to work out ways
03:03of becoming a destination
03:04for people
03:05You've always got to be thinking
03:06and kind of reinventing yourself
03:07It's called Big Argo Home, isn't it?
03:09You've got to put everything into it
03:11His team play a key role
03:13in helping him reach those goals
03:15No, I still like that gym
03:18Namely, handyman Jimmy and his wife Anne
03:20the pub's manager
03:21from County Durham
03:23It's always cock-eyed when he does it
03:25If you've got a dicky eye, it looks okay
03:28Anne and Jimmy are well known around here
03:30because they're very good at what they do
03:31They're vital to how this pub feels
03:34and how this pub runs
03:37Anne and Jimmy moved to Florida in 2008
03:40to run a property management company
03:42We were green, naive
03:45I'd never cut grass in my life
03:46I'd never looked after pools
03:48But we did it
03:49There's one thing about me and Jimmy
03:51we will always work
03:52and nothing frightens us
03:54We'll try anything, anything new
03:57Today, Martin and Anne's focus
03:59is firmly on the kitchen
04:01We're in the heat of the kitchen now
04:02This is where the magic happens
04:05Since day one, it's been Martin's goal
04:07to make this the place
04:08at least the people come
04:09for proper British fish and chips
04:14A lot of places do beer batter
04:15and things like that
04:16We decided not to do that
04:17We've just kept it simple
04:19Plus beer costs a lot
04:21How long does that take then, Julie?
04:22A couple of minutes
04:23I think nailing the fish and chips
04:25is a personal pride thing
04:27You can go and buy fish and chips
04:28at thousands of places around here
04:31But they're not real
04:32They're not authentic
04:33They're frozen
04:33We wanted just to make it
04:35as real as it should be
04:36And I think we've done really well with that
04:38It took a long time
04:39To check the fish and chips
04:41meet the standards
04:42Martin and Anne demand
04:43Looks good that, Julie
04:45Thank you
04:48Regular taste tests
04:49are all part of the routine
04:52The batter is perfect
04:54because a lot of places you go
04:55the batter is just too thick
04:56This is just absolutely, absolutely perfect
04:59That's really nice
05:00I worked in a chippy for eight years over in England
05:03So a good chippy as well
05:05So no good fish and chips
05:07Our standard is really high for these fish and chips
05:10And none of them go out unless they're spot on
05:12And we're so proud of them
05:15Anne's expertise on fish and chips will be especially important today
05:19As the pub has a local journalist coming to visit
05:22We've got somebody coming in to do a review today for us
05:26Who's very influential in the area
05:29But Martin won't be here as he is a meeting about another idea
05:32To increase the pub's profile
05:36I think we're going to have a lot of these going out today
05:37Just keep them all on point
05:39Get all the staff in there every time they bring one out
05:41Make sure they look the same every single time
05:43And we're on to a winner
05:45So he's out of Anne's hair
05:47And she's in charge
05:49Martin just comes up with all these crazy ideas
05:52The actual running of it
05:54Day to day
05:55To be honest he's a nuisance when he's in there
05:57So it's better when he's on the other side
06:01Today it's all on Anne to make sure the pub's fish and chips
06:05Get a five star review
06:13Just outside Orlando
06:15Is the community of celebration
06:18Built by the Walt Disney Company in the mid 90s
06:21As a classic take on small town America
06:26And it's home to Belfast born Sarah
06:28And her husband Scott
06:32Pop your croissant in the morning
06:33Close it, air fry, done
06:35We absolutely love our air fry
06:36We actually never knew about it until we went back to Belfast
06:39About two years ago
06:40It's just not a big thing in America
06:43Sarah came to Florida in 2011
06:46And met Scott eight years later
06:49He told me that he was from Pittsburgh
06:50And I said, well that's no good
06:52You're no good, you don't live in Florida
06:53He booked the flight ten days later
06:55Came back, took me on a date
06:56And then I think I got this letter
06:57He said, oh my annum, that's Irish for my soul mate
07:01And that was the day that I knew then
07:05I was like, oh my God, he has Googled Irish
07:07Six years ago he wrote this
07:09And I've kept it ever since on my desk
07:12The couple married in 2022
07:14And daughter Saoirse arrived ten months later
07:19Somehow we have one child
07:20But enough toys for an entire primary school
07:24Elementary school, Scott, you're in America
07:26And Patch the dog completes the family
07:29Yeah
07:29Sit, paw
07:31Good boy
07:32Jump, jump, go down
07:35There you go
07:35Patch was the first love of my life before I met Sarah
07:38So she inherited him
07:40But yeah, he's about ten years old
07:42And he's a riot
07:44And five, and six, and seven
07:48Sarah runs an Irish dancing school
07:50One, and two, and three, and four
07:53I am the owner and the founder of my own Irish dancing school
07:58I basically teach six days a week
08:00And then when I'm not teaching
08:01I'm taking weekends to fly to attend executive meetings
08:05For the Irish dance organisation
08:07Or judge Irish dance competitions all over the world
08:10Her work not only keeps her busy
08:13And gives the family an income
08:14But also inspired Scott to rethink his career
08:18I was working corporate and I hated it
08:22I love dogs
08:23So one thing led to another
08:25And I started this business
08:27And now dogs are a much, much bigger part of my life
08:30Than I ever thought they would be
08:32Scott now runs a dog walking company
08:35Not that Sarah was entirely convinced by his new venture
08:39Scott said he was buying the business
08:40I didn't want him to
08:41Back home in the UK and Ireland
08:43I don't feel like people would pay anyone to walk their dog
08:46So I didn't really know that it was a thing here
08:47Until Scott was like, this is what I'm doing
08:50And then when I did more research
08:52I was like, it's actually quite big in America
08:53People really want to pay to get their dog walked
08:56So I was like, okay, maybe you're onto something here
08:59Five years later and business is booming
09:03I'm taking a look at our schedule for the day
09:06It's hectic
09:07In a normal day we're doing sometimes 70, 80 different pet visits
09:13With anywhere from 6 to 10 to 12 different team members
09:17Out and about in the community doing those visits
09:19The number of clients that we have
09:21We're probably around 2,000 now
09:24Scott's company employs 24 staff
09:27And holds a prized Disney World deal
09:30Walking the dogs of visiting holidaymakers
09:32In a given hour I'm probably receiving 5 to 10 different change requests
09:38Or, you know, some emergency has come up
09:41Somebody needs their dog looked after
09:43Or someone's flight was cancelled
09:44So things are changing constantly
09:47Which means I need to be in constant communication with our staff as well
09:50Oh, here's Todd calling me
09:52Hey, what's happening, brother?
09:54What's going on, man?
09:56Scott's employee Todd brings bad news
09:58A staff member failed to show up
10:01I tried to call her 50 times
10:03From 7.30 on
10:05I don't know if there's anyone available to take them instead
10:10And we're crushed
10:11With what we do, if we miss an appointment
10:14Or if we're late to walk dogs
10:16All of a sudden you're talking about impacting someone's life very drastically
10:20All it takes is one upset pet owner start spreading negative feedback
10:25And I mean, you could be out of business
10:27All right, dude
10:28I'll talk to you later
10:31Scott's team is a person short, but he has a plan
10:34I just got off the phone with Todd
10:36And we have some staff that are no showing today
10:40So we're going to have to go take care of some dogs
10:42If we can grab Sorka and take her with us
10:44Okay, she'll love that
10:46With his business's reputation at risk
10:48It's time for the whole family to step up
10:51And get walking some dogs
10:53Who's your favourite dog?
11:03The city of Orlando
11:05With its 14 theme parks
11:08It's a magnet for British holidaymakers
11:10And expats like Nottingham-born Anthony
11:13And his wife, Michele
11:15Got my English bread
11:18Anthony escaped to Florida 42 years ago
11:21I came here in 83, one hour's 18 in England getting in trouble
11:25And my mum was living over here
11:27And she says, I'm going to send you a ticket
11:28And it's been a really good move for me
11:31Coming to the Sunshine State allowed him to pursue his passion for food
11:35And become a chef
11:37You can cut the green onion for me
11:40Actually, the dill
11:41You can chop up the dill
11:43Where he now runs the kitchens of a high-end hotel
11:46I've been executive chef for 24 years
11:49I worked in Miami in a smaller hotel
11:51It was 200 rooms
11:54When I moved to Orlando, Westgate
11:56That was 1,800 rooms
11:58So a big difference
12:00Anthony met a married fellow chef, Michele
12:03But she took some winning over
12:05I was warned to stay far from Anthony
12:08Because I was told that he was like a...
12:12A girl's man
12:14Obviously the rumours were not true
12:16Anthony has always been a nice person
12:19So I don't know where those rumours came from
12:24Together they ran a catering business as a side hustle to help fund their Florida lifestyle
12:30We've always liked working together
12:32The business did very well
12:34A lot of celebrity events, concerts, weddings and grand openings
12:40But in 2019, the couple had to put their catering plans on hold
12:45As life threw them a far greater test with a cancer diagnosis
12:49It was a weird kind of cancer
12:52Between my skull pressing down on my brain
12:55They had to cut from the front of my forehead
12:59All the way behind my hair loop
13:02All the way here
13:03Lift this part over and take it out
13:09They removed most of it
13:11And the rest of it was burnt out with radiation
13:16Michele fought the cancer, she won
13:19It took a lot of strength to go through that
13:22And now Michele has recovered
13:24It's time for the pair to get their catering dream back on track
13:29Michele's cancer is a mission
13:31So I'm thinking that it's a good time to see if we can progress to get Mecca on our own
13:37again
13:37I am looking forward to that
13:39Coming out of chemo, ringing that bell
13:42Was a very joyful feeling
13:44Makes me realise that everyday you wake up
13:48You just want to appreciate who you have beside you, appreciate life
13:54And their first step towards rebuilding their business begins today
13:59I'm super excited to go at it again to meet new clients
14:02And having our business up and running again
14:05They've got an important meeting lined up with fellow Brit Justine
14:10Who's part of the British American Business Council
14:12At the end of this meeting we're hoping to secure the catering for her event
14:18And I'm hoping to impress them and therefore get more business
14:23With the future of their catering company resting on this meeting
14:27It's time for Anthony and Michele to get their game faces on
14:35In the picture-perfect central Florida town of celebration
14:42Belfast-born Sarah is in a rush
14:45Scott's running late so he's not happy
14:47A no-show from one of Scott's dog walkers means the family have to cover the work themselves
14:53Yeah, we try to be on time
14:55Luckily Fiona and Snowball are very understanding
14:57So I think they'll be happy to see us regardless
14:59You can start running if you want, you want to start running?
15:02No
15:04Get my workout in for the day
15:07Luckily the client is in celebration
15:09So it's only a short walk to save the day
15:12Hi, hi, do you remember me?
15:15Fiona's so excited
15:16We've known these dogs from when they were eight weeks old
15:18They know us so well
15:20Who's that Snowball?
15:21Hi Snowball!
15:23Hi, come here
15:24Isn't she so fluffy?
15:27Whenever we're out on a walk, each of our visits is between 20 and 30 minutes
15:31And the typical visit cost would be about $20 per visit
15:36It kind of adds up when you're doing 70, 80 of those a day
15:40Walking dogs in Florida brings risks that are very different compared to those in the UK
15:46I know Sorka say look out for alligators
15:50Yeah, we're near one of the lakes in celebration here
15:53Which is again another thing we've got to be wary of
15:56There are alligators in these waters
15:58When I moved to the town first
16:00I remember opening the little town newspaper
16:02And there was like a death notice for a dog
16:05An alligator ate the dog
16:06And this was just a warning to the people of the town
16:08Please keep your dogs leashed, don't let them out
16:10Because it's so dangerous if they go to the lake for water
16:13An alligator can come out at any time and eat them
16:18Alligators avoided
16:18It's time for Scott to let the dog's owners know how the walk is going
16:23Hi Miss Grace, Fiona and Snowball had a great walk today
16:29It's all part of the service
16:32One of the important things that we do is send updates to our clients
16:35Just to let them know that the dogs have been on their walk
16:38And we will add some photos that we took of the pups
16:42And we send our message
16:45Running two businesses in one household
16:47Here's Snowball, do you want a treat? Come here
16:50Has made a work-life balance hard
16:52With my work, I'm when the kids are off school
16:56So I'm always afternoon and evenings
16:58And the majority of Scott's work is morning
17:02We're always so exhausted at the end of the day
17:04Like when you run a business, you never leave it behind you
17:07And it's so tough to just try to leave everything in the back burner
17:10And say, okay, this is about us
17:12And that's the downside of running a business
17:13Because your life's already consumed by that
17:15And now you have a beautiful child to take care of
17:17And there's just so many, so many parts to it all
17:21Oh no, no, no, no, over here
17:22The half-hour walk nearing its end
17:26These are two very strong girls
17:28When they know they're going home
17:29When we turn the corner to go back, they will pull you in
17:33You're so fast
17:34Sarah's trip back to the house is much quicker than Saoirse and Scott's
17:38Where did Mummy go?
17:40The doggies pulled me
17:41Oh no!
17:42Where'd the treat go?
17:43Snowball wants more treats but we don't have any left
17:45Now they're back home, the dogs are keen to see their owner, Miss Grace
17:50Miss Grace is a very special client because she has been with us from the very start
17:54She was one of our first clients that we met
17:56Miss Grace isn't doing so well
17:58And sometimes she's in bed all day and one of her dogs will stay by her side and will not
18:02move
18:03How are you feeling? Are you feeling okay?
18:05Feeling okay?
18:07Yeah
18:07Tired, you know, from being in the hospital
18:10So you just got out of the hospital yesterday, was it?
18:13Yesterday afternoon
18:15I'm feeling better
18:16You know
18:18Is there anything we can do before we go or anything else?
18:26I'm not able for that
18:30I haven't seen Miss Grace since before I got pregnant with Saoirse, which was two years ago
18:35She looks frail and old and I just, like, I just got so upset
18:43He's not just a dog walker, you know, it's so important what Scott does for families
18:48Her two dogs are like her two kids and we're taking care of them when she's in need
18:52So it really, really hit home, like, how important his job is
18:57But with other dogs waiting to be walked, the family are off to their next appointment
19:02Drive, drive, drive, drive, drive
19:03Down the big hill, down the big hill
19:06Beep, beep, nice stop
19:12In Clermont
19:15Pub owner Martin has left manager Anne in charge
19:19Two coffees, two water, crumpets and two traditional
19:2353.48, darling
19:26And orders are rolling in for their signature fish and chips
19:29There you go, sir, enjoy
19:33Need some salt and vinegar?
19:34Yeah, very much so
19:36Anything else?
19:37I see my mushy peas
19:39Yeah, mushy peas are there
19:40We're really busy, kitchen's busy
19:43And it's just keeping on top of all the little things, keeping everything up so it's all top notch
19:49Today, there's an extra motivation to stay sharp
19:53A local journalist is on the way to write about the pub
19:57We have someone coming in to give us a review, hopefully a really good one
20:01In this day and age, with social media and everything, you get a bad review and you're really done
20:09Luckily, Anne is not alone on this shift, she is server Chris from Barking to help
20:16Oh, what happens to the hourglass figure?
20:19More like a keg now, isn't it?
20:22Chris came to the States in 1997
20:25Here we go, into battle
20:27Where he worked for a cruise ship company
20:29I would hire the singers and dancers and teach the show to create the show for 27 ships
20:36Now he brings a touch of glam to the best of British
20:39Hold it, yeah, that's it too, that way
20:42Our Chris is just, he's just amazing
20:46He has this knack, he just makes everybody feel welcome
20:50I love working with him, me and him do a lot of shifts together
20:53And honestly, he is daft as a box of frogs
20:57I love it, thank you
21:02Things we do to sell a pint of beer
21:05As the boss
21:06Right Chris, we need to get cracking now
21:08Anne is delegating the task of handling the journalist to Chris
21:13And I've got that lady coming down to review the place
21:16Martin's normally used to sort these reviewers out
21:18He's really good with it, but he's not going to be down to date
21:21So, it's all on you, all on you, I've got every faith in you Chris
21:26Oh God, I thought it was going to be a really quiet Saturday
21:30I work the most with Anne
21:32Anne is the workhorse, she's the foundation
21:35I always feel confident when she's around
21:37Because whatever the situation is, we're going to deal with it together
21:42It's not just fish and chips and pulling pints for Anne and Chris
21:45They've got the adjoining shop to manage too
21:47Come on Chris, let's get this chick taken out
21:50Where customers can buy British brands and have an afternoon tea
21:54Here's your tea my darlings
21:57You'll never get it served like this ever again
22:00Hopefully
22:02And if you do, we're really sorry
22:05I love it in here
22:06We have a real, real good laugh
22:08Chris, he's found his place
22:10He's just coming into his own here
22:13Are they scones or scones?
22:15I think it's a scones
22:16Sounds more like a scone
22:18The scones in here
22:19The scones, okay
22:23With time ticking on, Anne and Chris still have plenty to prepare before the journalist arrives
22:39In downtown Orlando, Chef Anthony and wife Michelle are working to rebuild their catering company after a six-year break
22:47We've got the British flag and the American flag
22:50If that was our house, we would have three flags, British, American and Jamaica
22:55And Jamaica, yeah
22:57They've come to the home of British businesswoman Justine to talk about a possible catering job
23:03Hello
23:03Hello, Justine
23:04Yes, pleasure to meet you
23:05Very nice to meet you
23:06This is my wife, Michelle
23:06Hi, Michelle, how are you?
23:07Pleasure to meet you
23:08Welcome
23:10Thank you
23:12Justine is a fellow Brit, originally from London
23:15Yeah, I've lived in Florida the majority of my life
23:17We moved here when I was nine
23:19Let's have a seat and we'll chat about events and catering
23:24She runs a number of businesses
23:27I own my own international marketing firm
23:29I do a lot of consultancy with local companies but also with international companies
23:34So I've worked with many British companies looking to expand into Florida as a market
23:38I wanted to speak to you about an event that we're doing next week at my house here
23:43Very relaxed but very high-end
23:46We'd like some canapes and probably about ten people or so
23:51The event that we're hosting is the board members of the new British American Business Council
23:56Each of whom is quite influential in their own careers
23:59With Justine's network a potential goldmine of new clients
24:04Anthony is keen to get his menu spot on
24:07Do you have any idea what kind of food you're looking for?
24:10British American is absolutely perfect
24:11Okay, I'm gonna throw some ideas out to you and you tell me what you're interested in
24:17Mini beef wellingtons
24:17I love it
24:18Grilled vegetable skewers
24:19Okay
24:20Cocktail shrimp
24:21British cocktail shrimp
24:23Yes
24:23Not the American version
24:24Not the American one
24:25Alright, yes, so far we're 100 out of 100
24:28What about something sweet?
24:30Okay, I think I might be able to get some British desserts actually
24:33Sticky toffee pudding
24:35Sticky toffee pudding, that's a good one
24:37That's a good one
24:38Yeah, yeah
24:38Alright, so I think what we need to do is take a look at the kitchen
24:44Okay
24:45And see what we have to work with
24:49The menu appears to have gone down well with Justine
24:52I was impressed with Anthony's menu
24:54He's very calm
24:55You want a calm chef, they're not all calm
24:56He suggested everything, I didn't really need to give him much input
25:00And he came with a very good variety of different choices for us
25:04Now she can outline her vision on how the event should run
25:10We can certainly put some of the canapes on the island here
25:14And then maybe pass some of the others
25:16Yes
25:16So kind of a mix between both
25:18In a kitchen he's never used before
25:20Anthony needs to make sure everything is up to his standards
25:24You've got two ovens here
25:26Yes
25:26The microwave if you need it over there
25:28Some of the cooking will be done prior to travel
25:30I want that fresh appeal to it
25:32So finishing most things off over there is definitely a must
25:35To be able to get the best bang of what we're doing
25:38You've got the stove here
25:39Yeah
25:40Ovens are great
25:41Fridge, that's all the space we need
25:42Okay
25:43That works out really well
25:44Anthony, now happy with the kitchen, has a suggestion
25:48Generally at something like this
25:50What I would like to do is
25:52Not do everything at one time
25:53As the hot foods are coming out
25:56Once they come out of the oven
25:57I would have someone passing them to you
25:59It's not all at one time
26:00Right
26:01People are seeing different things
26:02They get to enjoy one thing at a time
26:04Love it
26:05Meeting over
26:06Wow, that went really well
26:09She's a very nice lady
26:11I think it's going to be a really great event
26:13They've now got a week to pull it all together
26:16To impress Justine
26:17And her well-connected guests
26:19And turn it into more catering jobs
26:21For their relaunch company
26:24She's got some high-profile people coming to this event
26:27That would be great to be able to blow this one out of the park
26:29To get more business
26:37In Clermont
26:38With owner Martin away at a business meeting
26:41Manager Anne is in charge of the pub
26:45Oh my darling
26:46She and server Chris
26:47I feel like I'm working in the co-op when I do this
26:51Are both rushed off their feet
26:53And to add to the stress
26:55A journalist is coming to write about the pub
26:57But there's still no sign of her arrival
27:01We've got this person who's going to be reviewing
27:03And that must have been I'm starting to get a little nervous about
27:06She could arrive at any moment
27:08So Chris is staying vigilant
27:10I'm going to do one last swoop of the bar
27:13And make sure the tables are cleaned and set and ready for action
27:19While Chris keeps an eye out for the journalist
27:22Anne's busy preparing some new additions to the menu
27:26Today we're actually launching Bob's barks and bites
27:29So we're going to do one of each of the dog menu
27:33Just to see how it looks in the bowl
27:35So we'll do the breakfast first
27:36So that's a scrammy egg
27:37A bit of sausage, bit of bacon, some beans and a toast
27:41Peanut butter sarnie with a kibble garnish
27:44Me and Chris were just talking one day
27:46And we're like we need a dog menu
27:49So we just made one up
27:51It's dead simple, it's dead easy
27:53It's stuff that we have anyway
27:55And obviously we've researched what they can eat
27:57And what they can't eat
27:58So this one is Pluto's platter
28:01So that's a doggy breakfast
28:03Scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, beans
28:05And toast
28:07So essentially a full English for doggies
28:10And this one is Churchill's chow
28:12So it's basically bangers and mash
28:15But made with rice instead of mash for the dogs
28:18And then we'll ask if they want gravy on or not
28:20Because gravy is okay for them as well
28:23I think it'll do well
28:24Because a lot of people when they come with their dogs
28:26Is there anything I can buy for them?
28:29So now they've got an option to
28:31Have some food with their best mate as well
28:36And like any good pub meal there's always room for a pudding
28:39Sharon can you pass us the whipped cream please?
28:42This is our cheese and ham ice cream
28:44It's made specifically for dogs
28:46Proper recipe so it's safe for them
28:51And a bit on the top
28:53So there you go
28:54Pips pudding
28:57Doggy heaven
28:59While Anne works on doggy delicacies in the kitchen
29:02In the bar the journalist has arrived
29:06Hello!
29:08Nice to meet you
29:09I'm Sharon Keeble from the Claremont Sun newspaper
29:11Welcome! We've been expecting you
29:14Sharon's also British and hails from Cheshire
29:18Today I'm expecting to meet probably quite a lot of English people
29:21Just to get an idea of what the pub is like and what they offer
29:27Chris wants to give Sharon a good idea of what the best of British is all about
29:32And starts by introducing her to one of owner Martin's many creative touches
29:37This is Lucy
29:38Lucy our boss
29:40Now as far as I know she's around 75 years old
29:44Wow! That is amazing!
29:46So yeah, she's possible to see her passing all the time
29:48And this is such a popular road
29:51It really is, yeah
29:52You've got so many holidaymakers down here
29:54So many!
29:56So, normally when I go to a viewer place
29:58I love to find out the best bits about it
30:01The best food in this case
30:03Marmite!
30:04Yes!
30:04I've seen that in ages!
30:06Sharon is keen to try the fish and chips
30:08But first wants to know what makes them so special
30:11We do haddock and we do cod
30:13And the chips are proper English chips
30:17Not fries
30:18One lady that's pretty much her job is making the chips
30:21Wow! So you make the chips?
30:23Oh yeah! It's not frozen
30:25The hand cut chips
30:27Chris's best sales pitch over
30:29Sharon heads to the bar
30:31Should I go to some food?
30:32I would love to order your fish and chips please
30:35Have it
30:38But will Chris's efforts and the fish and chips be enough to seal a five-star review?
30:47In Orlando
30:49Chef Anthony and wife Michelle are prepping the food for their first catering event together since 2019
30:56So this is the mint sauce for the lamb chops
31:00After Michelle's battle with cancer, now in remission
31:03The couple are focused on making the most of every opportunity
31:07Well it's real late last night
31:09It was actually close to midnight before we finished
31:11Trying to get everything ready because you never know what's going to happen the next day
31:13And see that was done for ten people
31:16And as you can see it's two poolers full of food
31:21It's a lot that goes into it
31:23Positive feedback from client Justine's event
31:26Could be the key to rebuilding their business
31:28Always looking to make a big impact
31:30Especially this one with Justine
31:32As her social networking can help launch the company again
31:39Anthony has gone beyond the agreed menu for tonight's event
31:43With a surprise dish of his own
31:46These are the mini bread of butter pudding
31:49I'm going to warm them up at Justine's and finish them off there
31:52And that will serve the custard
31:53While speaking to Justine in that meeting
31:55I realized that Justine seems to have a sweet tooth
31:58So we added a few extra items that are not on the menu
32:01Those are treats for Justine
32:04Everything packed
32:06Ready to come
32:08Are you ready?
32:10Yeah, yeah, I'm ready
32:12I am ready, ready, ready, ready
32:18Nervous?
32:19No, I'm not nervous
32:21There's no reason to be nervous
32:24We're a very good thought system for each other
32:26I can tell when something's wrong with Michelle
32:29And even if she doesn't want to talk about it
32:30I can tell there's something wrong and I'll ask her
32:32And sometimes she'll say, okay
32:34Or it'll take some time and then she'll see what it is
32:37I'm not nervous at all
32:39I still think we are
32:44Early
32:45Well, listen, the chef is never late, he's always on time
32:52With two hours until the event starts
32:54Anthony is eager to get into the kitchen
32:57Timing is everything
32:59You can't be late for events
33:01You can't have the food come out late
33:03And you can't be too early
33:05Because then the food is not being served at its best
33:07So it has to be spot on the timing
33:09Being here two hours earlier
33:11Allows me to time manage myself
33:13To get the rest of the prep and cooking done
33:17We have about 13 different hors d'oeuvres
33:20Mini desserts that we're doing today
33:21Four cold and the rest are hot
33:24We'll be cooking those throughout the evening
33:27With so many dishes
33:29Anthony has hired a server, Archie
33:31To help him and Michelle at the event
33:33How are you doing the silverware?
33:35Not like this
33:37You know how to fold it so you can put the silverware in it
33:39Archie is here to pass the hors d'oeuvres
33:42It folds over
33:46This is Michelle's first time back working in the kitchen
33:49Since her cancer remission
33:50Me and Michelle are working really well together
33:52She's catching back on
33:54She hasn't been doing this for a long time
33:56So it's going well
33:59With 20 minutes to go until the event starts
34:02Will they have enough time for the final touches to be added?
34:06The prawn cocktail?
34:07Yeah
34:07And this is the sandwich, right?
34:09I need small tongs for this one and this one
34:12Before the first guest arrives
34:27In celebration
34:30Sarah from Belfast and daughter Saoirse are lending a hand with husband Scott's dog walking business
34:38And the next appointment has Saoirse very excited
34:45Khabibbe
34:45Khabibbe
34:46So now we're headed to see one of our favorite dogs, Khabibbe
34:49Sorka loves Khabibbe so we always love seeing her
34:52Wow
34:52Big girl!
34:54Are you ready?
34:56Now, ring the doorbell
34:59How do you hear?
35:01Khabibbe
35:02Yeah
35:03Oh, hi!
35:05Look who is Saoirse!
35:08Hi Khabibbe
35:09Can you say hi?
35:10I know, she's very excited
35:12Give her kisses, give her kisses
35:13Very excited, come on
35:14Do you want to go for a walk with Saoirse?
35:17Yeah
35:18Look, look, look, look
35:19We'll have to get Khabibbe into your thing
35:22Jumping on her mummy's leg, that's Khabibbe's mummy
35:24Khabibbe's mum, Jill, is a very successful real estate agent
35:28And she travels a lot, she's out of the home a lot
35:31Our service is so important to her
35:33Aw, Khabibbe's giving you kisses
35:35She gets to go on her walks and it's such a relief knowing that she's so well taken care of
35:40They'll come over three times a day
35:42They come over at breakfast time, they'll come over at lunch time and dinner time
35:46And each time they come over, I get an update with photos and what she's done during the walk
35:52So it's really, really vital to me to see this
35:55With Khabibbe kitted out for her walk
35:58Here we go
36:00Come on Khabibbe, you ready for your car ride?
36:02Are your dog walking?
36:04Well, less of a walk, more of a drive
36:08Now you hold her nice and tight
36:09Good girl, great girl Saoirse
36:12Good
36:12Here we go
36:15Okay, put her on the grass and we'll let her do some pee-pees
36:18Can you give Khabibbe a clap?
36:19Push her on to the potty please?
36:21Very good, good girl
36:22Any time me and Scott go back to the UK and Ireland we always think
36:25Would your business work over here?
36:27I think there is like a smaller market for it and it's starting to become a thing
36:32But I don't think, there's absolutely no way it would be the same scale
36:35We're definitely in the right place for this type of business in Celebration Florida
36:39Here you go
36:41Hold on tight, okay?
36:43Khabibbe's smaller size makes her the perfect dog for Saoirse to begin learning the family trade
36:48Here we go
36:52She's huffing and puffing like it's really hard work
36:54Are you huffing and puffing?
36:56Is this a hard job? Are you tired? Are you sweating?
36:59She's like whoosh
37:01It's a great way to get her outside and keep her entertained and get her energy out
37:05She loves dogs and Khabibbe's the perfect size for a two year old
37:09Yeah, it's an absolutely wonderful wanting moment for our family
37:11Just being out helping the community and Scott's business, he's making money for us
37:16So it's a lovely wee moment for all of us walking dogs, especially when it's so close to home
37:21The dog walk over
37:24Let's take our wee outfit off, come on
37:26Let's take our wee outfit off, Saoirse
37:28I turn it off
37:29Good girl
37:33Oh, in she goes
37:35The family are finished for the day
37:38Thank you so much, Jill
37:40Say bye, come on, Saoirse
37:43Now it's time for a well-earned ice cream
37:47They're right here, this is perfect
37:49Now we'll park your car
37:51And they've been joined by Sarah's mum Eileen, who's over visiting from Northern Ireland
37:55I don't like marshmallows, but I like the chocolate
37:58And her own dog, Patch
38:00Very happy worker, she's been paid for the day
38:03In rainbow sprinkles and vanilla ice cream, so she's happy
38:06Push the door open
38:08Patch, look what you're getting
38:11Never in a million years did I imagine my life in Florida
38:1414 years later I'd still be here married with a family and a dog
38:18And my own successful business and Scott's dog walking business
38:22America, without a doubt, is the land of dreams and opportunity
38:26And the opportunities that I am afforded here
38:30Would never be an option back home
38:32Never, never, never
38:33The lifestyle, the weather, I love it
38:41In downtown Orlando
38:44Chef Anthony and wife Michelle are ready to serve
38:48It's British
38:50And just in the nick of time
38:52Because client Justine's guests have started to arrive
38:55Hello, how are you doing?
38:58I'm alright, how are you doing?
38:59You good to see you?
39:02Justine is hosting the event for a newly formed council she is part of
39:06Which supports British companies in Florida
39:08Thank you so much
39:10Hello Sean, how are you?
39:12Good thank you
39:13I think you know these gentlemen here
39:17With all the guests here
39:19Justine can introduce the catering team
39:22So thrilled today because our private chef is Anthony, who's from Nottingham
39:27And along with his wife Michelle, they're relaunching their catering companies
39:31Thank you both
39:32He has done a combination of both British and American foods for us
39:37Thank you for inviting us to come over and give a little sampling of what we can do
39:41So on the table here in front of us, these are the cold foods
39:44From prawn cocktails to finger sandwiches
39:47Archie, who's working with us, will be passing around some hot hors d'oeuvres
39:51And I appreciate your feedback
39:53Enjoy yourself, thank you
39:54And now the feast can begin
39:57What have we got here?
39:58We've got Wellington
40:00Yeah, really Wellington
40:01Appreciate it, thank you
40:04Mmm, that's lovely
40:05Prone cocktail
40:07I've had one of them for us
40:09A long time, I can tell you
40:11It's a delicious prone cocktail
40:13Is this New Zealand lamb? Or is it Welsh lamb?
40:16It's New Zealand lamb
40:17There you go
40:18I've lived in Orlando for over 20 years
40:22Oh, that's a nice idea
40:23You can't get a proper lamb chop here
40:25Homemade mint sauce
40:27It was delicious
40:29It's not only the hot hors d'oeuvres that are getting positive feedback
40:32Very nice
40:33I can have about four or five of those
40:36I'll be happy
40:37Anthony is looking to crown the evening with a surprise thank you dish for Justine
40:42So this was not on the menu
40:44But I made mini bread and butter puddings with custard
40:48Delicious
40:49Yes
40:50Yes
40:50Oof, I like custard so let's get lots
40:53Oh
40:53Oh my god, delicious Anthony
40:55So I think that Anthony and Michelle have done an amazing job
40:59I mean the food was delicious
41:01I think I ate too much of it
41:02That would be the only issue that I'd have
41:04But I saw everybody really enjoying it
41:06Does this mean Justine will call on their catering services again?
41:11Perhaps he could cater some of the future events that we're doing
41:15Because obviously it could do American food food
41:17But it could do British food
41:18Yeah, yeah
41:19So it makes it very versatile
41:20I love that
41:21That's so good
41:22Excellent
41:23Well cheers
41:23I think we've found a new chef
41:26It isn't only Justine who has eyes in giving Anthony and Michelle more business
41:31What's the secret? The secret?
41:33Where you buy the hands from?
41:35Yes
41:36We do use caterers for lots of events
41:39And now I've met Anthony
41:41I know that we can go high-end catering
41:44Because I loved it
41:45It's been a successful evening for the couple
41:48This event
41:49I don't think it's going to be better
41:51I've already had three or four guests that are here tonight
41:53Talk to me about something in the future
41:56Definitely a big win
41:57I put on a few pounds though
42:00Then I've done my job
42:03With Michelle taking her first steps back into the kitchen
42:06I enjoyed working with Anthony today
42:09And I enjoy the fact that I actually see people went back with third
42:13Not only second
42:16The future is looking full of promise
42:19It's going to be good to get back in the driving seat again
42:22And take the business where it needs to go
42:2820 miles away
42:30Pub owner Martin is out at a business meeting
42:33And while he's been away
42:35It's gone to the dogs
42:37Hey guys
42:38And manager Anne couldn't be happier
42:41This is Boomer
42:43Thank you ladies for bringing them over
42:44The new dog menu is live
42:47And it's already drawing a strong crowd
42:49Hey Boomer
42:50He's showing you his best side there
42:53While Anne focuses on the four-legged guests
42:56Server Chris is aiming to earn the pub five stars
43:00With journalist Sharon's review
43:02Oh wow
43:04That looks delicious
43:07You enjoy this
43:08Thank you so much
43:12The chips look like proper chips
43:21I like real English chips
43:25Really good
43:26The fish and chips have hit the spot
43:28But will the dogs be as pleased with their menu options?
43:32Is it good for that?
43:34Little Winston Churchill
43:36Don't eat Jack's food
43:38This is fun
43:38I think we're pretty happy
43:41This is quite as they've been in a long time
43:44They love you
43:46And what about the dessert?
43:48You want some ice cream?
43:50Oh!
43:52Here we go
43:56Boomer loves the ice cream
43:57So what more can we ask for?
43:59The dog menu was a real success
44:02And a lot of people have said that they're going to come back and bring their dogs
44:06With her meal finished Sharon's ready to head off
44:09I've really enjoyed myself
44:11Thank you so much for letting me show me around
44:13I love the place
44:15It's so English
44:16The food was delicious
44:18Thank you
44:19The fish was lovely
44:20I'm so glad
44:22And next time
44:24It was probably won't be quite mad as chaotic
44:28It's definitely a typical pub atmosphere
44:30It is quirky
44:32There's a lot going on
44:34But you know, as Brits
44:36We are quite mad anyway, aren't we?
44:38Now the big moment
44:40How many stars will Sharon give the pub?
44:43Six? Am I allowed a six?
44:46It was that good?
44:48With the pub's fish and chips winning praise
44:50Anne sees this as just the beginning
44:53So we're five months down the road now
44:55It's gone even better than it could ever have expected
44:59We're doing all these events and they seem to work
45:02It's just getting better and better every day
45:05It's just a dream come true
45:06We are walking around the road here
45:09We are sitting here with Phil and Mattda
