Quotes 

  • Gareth : [while preparing vegetables]  Somebody bring me a knife, very long and razor sharp. I need to castrate the person who made this sauce and I don't want to cause any unecessary suffering. I'm not a vindictive man, I'm not out to cause pain, but with this man's DNA in the gene pool, humanity is doomed.

  • Gareth : [to Piers]  Let me explain the order of things to you. There's the aristocracy, the upper class, the middle class, working class, dumb animals, waiters, creeping things, head lice, people who eat packet soup, then you.

  • Gareth : You are a pea-brained, prat-faced, pompous, pillock-headed cretin. If you took an intensive course of intelligence injections and studied till you drop, then one day you might make it to moron third class failed.

  • Gareth : Everton, let me explain things to you. In the world of cooking, I am Einstein. Lucinda is Isaac Newton. And you are a mud-dwelling unicellular bit of jelly with a predilection for consuming its own excrement.

    Everton Stonehead : You don't like the way I cook?

    Gareth : I feel it's important to be frank.

  • [Everton applies for a position Gareth's wife just asked him to create] 

    Gareth : Well, you've got two things going for you. One, we're old school chums. And two, your timing is absolutely, totally, marriage-ruiningly perfect.

  • Janice Blackstock : And you're a man...

    Gareth : Janice, I can hardly deny that with you holding the evidence.

  • Janice Blackstock : You've been fighting with the customers?

    Gareth : Well, somebody's got to do it.

  • Gareth : So please go away... and please re-arrange the contents of this plate so that someone in the latest stages of malnutrition will at least take a passing interest in it.

  • Gareth : Everton, please remove the maggots, rat carcasses, and corpses of shocked health inspectors and make the place fit for the preparation of sodding food!

  • [a customer just asked for extra salt] 

    Gareth : I hate you more than you can possibly imagine!

  • [Gareth is wearing his chef's hat] 

    Gareth : Lucinda, I have adorned myself with the culinary condom.

  • Gareth : You have as much chance of becoming a top chef as John Major has of becoming a stand-up comedian.
