How I Shop with Fred Sirieix: 'It's nice to buy stuff from people you know'

Fred Sirieix, maître d’ y presentador de TV conocido por “First Dates”, shared his everyday shopping habits in an interview-style feature. The French-born hospitality veteran, who previously ran Galvin at Windows, said his last personal treat was a Hampton greenhouse—“the Rolls-Royce of greenhouses”—currently being finished, after an earlier attempt at propagation failed. For food, he relies on long-time local shops in south London, including William Rose butchers in East Dulwich and Beaumont fruit and veg and FC Soper fishmonger in Nunhead. He favors Amazon online for practicality and Hedonism Wines in Mayfair for gifts, citing a recent Krug bottle purchase. He also mentioned using Niwaki secateurs and spending £200 on a Burgundy bottle.
