"Dave is one of the most down-to-earth relaxed chefs I've ever had the pleasure of working with. Burnt Ends is the result of a super-talented bloke who just cooks food in a way he wants to cook. Very simply, over coals in a stunning purpose-built open kitchen. No snobbery just seemingly effortless, super tasty food."

"I've spent so much time in Singapore over the years. I remember going to Burnt Ends when Dave Pynt first opened it - it was one of my first experiences of all food cooked over a fire."
