On Mardie Fen Series 4 by Nick Warburton

On Mardle Fen

Trevor Peacock stars as inspired chef Warwick Hedges in this comedy drama set in an idiosyncratic restaurant in the Cambridgeshire Fens. Warwick’s son, Jack, works alongside his father, which makes him permanently anxious. They are assisted by Samuel, an earthy odd-job man 'who crawled out of the slime with the eels', and Zofia the Polish waitress.

Whether hosting unusual guests, dealing with flooding, fuelling father-son rivalry or moving strange stones from the edge of the Fen to his restaurant 'at his own peril', Warwick attempts to keep Mardle Fen on its toes.

The dramatic mixture of food, family relationships and Fenland legend is handled with Nick Warburton's characteristic deft comic touch.
