Two chefs who met on the Formula 1 circuit are opening a new food outlet in Merseyside.
Keith Taylor and James Prescott met when working on the Formula 1 racing circuit, catering for the team and guests. Last year, they teamed up to open ‘Kaizen’, a sushi outlet at the popular Cedar Farm in West Lancashire.
The outlet has attracted a growing number of followers and now the pair are launching a new sushi outlet at Southport Market this summer. They are currently advertising for full and part-time staff, and inviting people to join them for an open day on Wednesday, June 15.

Keith said: “We are due to open in Southport market on July 6. We will be serving hot and cold sushi, skewers and other small plates. We are looking forward to getting started!
“James and I are two chefs who met whilst working on the Formula 1 racing, catering for the team and guests. We have both worked at high levels in kitchens ranging from rosette restaurants to outside catering.
“We have been trading at Cedar Farm for almost a year. We set up a food delivery company through lockdown and did street food pop ups. From that we got an opportunity to open permanently at Cedar Farms new food market, which has been well received.
“We have been looking for additional sites and when Southport came up we jumped at the chance. We feel that Southport on the whole is ready for some new sushi ideas and Southport Market is a great place to deliver that. We hope that we can expand on Kaizen’s success at Cedar Farm and bring good quality sushi to the market.”
Keith revealed the story behind the firm’s catchy name. He said: “We picked the name Kaizen because it’s a Japanese business proverb to ‘continually improve’ which we thought was fitting.”
