Revelations: Conor Gadd, chef-owner, Trullo, London

What do you do to relax?

With three kids and a busy restaurant to run, relaxing is often a pipe dream. When I do, it's exercising or playing sport followed by watching sport

Trullo – but if that's cheating, I had the most amazing meal at Al Gatto Nero in Venice

Six Senses, Ibiza

Guinness
