After 50 years spent feeding our politicians, he is retiring this month. Today he has swapped his chef's whites for a floral shirt and a green tweed blazer.
It’s a hub, a meeting place. Everybody eats together, MPs queue up with the general staff... they all stand together and chat, sous chef Terry tells me proudly as we talk beside a vat of soup.
Terry started working in the House of Commons in September 1974... I thought it was a great opportunity. He remembers being very shy as he went to work with the older gentlemen.
I reckon he has served 13 prime ministers in that time and is still dreaming up new recipes.
