Chef Alex Claridge talks to us about The Wilderness, Birmingham and being controversial
Alex Claridge doesn’t like to mince his words.
His shamelessly honest approach has earned him a few slaps on the wrist along the way, but it is integral to his persona. His charisma comes from his ability to say things as they are, with little concern for the consequences, and his food reflects this: it is irreverent, outrageous and unique.
We spoke to him about how he wound up being a chef and how The Wilderness went from a pop-up in an art gallery in a back-street of Birmingham to being one of the city's most notorious restaurants.
