Mrs. Bridges
We are delighted to introduce
Her story: Kate Bridges began her life 'in service' as an under cook to
respectable families in the countryside of Victorian England. She earned the honorary title of 'Mrs' Bridges when she became Cook to one of the leading Edwardian families, and London socialites, Lady and Richard Bellamy. During her tenure in the Belgravia kitchen at 165 Eaton Place, London, Mrs Bridges devised elaborate menus and cooked for some of the leading figures in the capital including the Monarch King Edward. Mrs Bridges was immortalised in the long running 1970s series 'Upstairs Downstairs' where, along with the Butler Mr Hudson, she reigned 'downstairs', running her kitchen with a rod of iron and a warm heart in equal measure.
