How refreshing then to meet with Julius Roberts, who, eight years ago at the tender age of 23 made a decision many of his peers may have considered ‘before his time’, to flee a bustling capital city life as a chef to start a new one as a self-taught, first-generation farmer in rural Suffolk, and by doing so, has inspired a generation to look at life, success, food and opportunity quite differently.
