In the restaurant, Crabbe is helped by chefs Steve Turner (Joe Duttine; 21 episodes) and then, Gary Palmer (Nick Lamont; 20 episodes) – both reformed ex-criminals – and John the waiter (Ashley Russell) and Linda the waitress (Alison McKenna). The latter was subsequently replaced by Nicola the waitress (Samantha Janus). After Nicola's departure, she is in turn replaced by Sally (Marsha Thomason). Also, reappearing throughout is Leon Henderson (Nick Raggett), who supplies the restaurant with fruit and vegetables, as well as working there, some evenings doing the washing up. Robert Putt is Chief Constable Braithwaite who appeared in 3 episodes between (1996–1997). Caroline Loncq played Jenny Drabble for 3 episodes (1996–1997). One of Henry's heroes, the (fictional) food writer Hilary Smallwood (the other being Alexis Soyer), is modelled on Elizabeth David.

Famous quotes containing the word cast:

    The Puritan through Life’s sweet garden goes
    To pluck the thorn and cast away the rose.
    Kenneth Hare (1888–1962)

    If one does not cast a big net, one cannot catch big fish.
    Chinese proverb.

    You have waited, you always wait, you dumb, beautiful ministers,
    We receive you with free sense at last, and are insatiate
    hence-forward,
    Not you any more shall be able to foil us, or withhold yourselves
    from us,
    We use you, and do not cast you aside—we plant you permanently within us,
    We fathom you not—we love you—there is perfection in you also,
    You furnish your parts, toward eternity,
    Great or small, you furnish your parts toward the soul.
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
