Jamies next move was to Oxford, as the opening Head Chef of Branca, in December 2000. The Kings then took the opportunity of a country pub, The Star Inn at Sulgrave near Banbury. Here they gained recongniton in several guides and a star from Egon Ronay. Following this enjoyable and successful tenure, they approached Wadworth with their plan and vision for The Anchor! .
