Aspiring chef Brooklyn Beckham dreams of opening British-style pub in Los Angeles

Budding chef Brooklyn Peltz-Beckham has dreams of opening a British-style pub in Los Angeles.

The 23-year-old's love for cooking was sparked during lockdown, when he discovered that his signature dish was the humble bangers and mash.

Joined by his wife, Nicola, the pair discussed their future plans in an interview with Vogue for the September issue.

"I would love to have my own restaurant at some point. I am thinking a real British Pub in LA. I haven’t found anything that really reminds me of my favourite pubs in London."

"I really fell in love with cooking in quarantine. My favourite dish to cook is bangers and mash. My favourite ingredient is thyme," he added.

Brooklyn, who previously tried his hand at professional photography, launched an online culinary series called Cookin' With Brooklyn in December last year.

In some of the episodes, the footballers' son teaches viewers how to cook steak and chips and how to make pasta.

However, Brooklyn is frequently-ridiculed for his "basic" cooking skills.

Critics sourly claimed that "he is to cooking what Posh Spice was to singing".

One insider has claimed that each episode of the eight-minute online show costs $100,000 to make and there's a huge crew involved.

The source said: "It's unheard of. It's the sort of crewing you would expect on a big TV show."

In one video Brooklyn struggled to fry fish and was also overheard asking how to know whether a hash brown is correctly cooked.

Discussing how he likes to eat a fried fish sandwich in one video, he said: "'I eat half the fish and then I like, mess it all up and put it in two loaves of bread with the fish, vinegar, salt, mushy peas."

"Coleslaw gives sandwiches a different texture, like a crunchy texture," he added.

He also came under fire for landing a slot on The Late Late Show to plug his cooking platform - despite not having any professional training.

Family pal James Corden challenged Brooklyn to a cook off, which viewers branded "cringy" and the "definition of privilege".

Brooklyn and Nicola discussed their plans for children, with both agreeing that they wanted a big family.

The Bates Motel actress said that her mum is her "biggest idol and best friend" and that she "can't wait to be a mum one day".

Brooklyn added that he wanted "as many kids as possible", before noting that the decision was ultimately down to his wife.
