The first guests will soon arrive. The tables must be set to exacting standards
00:05
for the opening of the new restaurant Home Kitchen in central London.
00:09
Among the waiters are refugees and school dropouts.
00:12
Very few have experience in the catering industry.
00:17
I feel great, confident. We've been doing this for a few weeks now.
00:22
Started with training and induction. We've had a series of soft launches
00:27
and it's still a process. This is still new.
00:30
Jeremy Coates did not have a permanent place to live for a long time.
00:35
He says he experienced a difficult childhood and never had a real job.
00:39
Now he feels part of a team, which gives him confidence.
00:43
Top chef Adam Simmons is one of the initiators of the project.
00:47
Years ago, he had a serious crisis and almost ended up on the street.
00:52
Everybody deserves an opportunity. People see somebody on the street
00:56
or homeless or in trouble from the outside, not from the inside.
01:00
And they don't realise potentially why they're there.
01:03
People don't choose to be on the streets. It's circumstances.
01:08
An expensive six-course meal, including crab meat and exquisite fish.
01:13
Most of the customers here are aware that the waiters still need a lot of practice.
01:19
On this first evening, the concept seems to be working.
01:23
I am like a black hole. I'm hungry and I want to swallow it all up
01:27
and then build myself up fully, perhaps make this a career for myself.
01:36
Adam Simmons wants to help bring talent to light.
01:39
Talent that has been hidden for a long time.
