Bobby's Triple Threat's second season premieres on Food Network

Fargin is entering what should have been his third Championships. However, last year's tournament was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic and instead he spent his time preparing dishes five days a week for 200 people in the local community.

Whilst he says there is lingering disappointment about last year, he adds there is "definitely an air of optimism and excitement around the venue to welcome customers through the door." Although there will be a reduced capacity of spectators this year, there will still be 1,600-2,000 staff involved in 'Food and Drink at Wimbledon' on site as opposed to the usual 3,000.

Fargin will directly oversee around 350, between chefs and store staff, and armed with a notebook he will conduct daily rounds of the various food outlets, from sandwich stalls to restaurants. The menus are usually drawn up in September before the Championships but Fargin says they have largely stuck to those for last year.

What is prepared is a far cry from Fargin's preferred boyhood diet of cup cakes, French fries and chocolate milk. He concedes old habits die hard and he has a chocolate bar and a caffe latte before he does his rounds in the morning. Fargin says there is nothing better for him to take some of the pressure off than to speak with his family.
