I built the Steph's Packed Lunch set - now I'm gutted I'm taking it down
The sign has been dismantled, the set taken to pieces and any hint of Channel 4 Steph’s Packed Lunch has been removed from the studio and offices at Leeds Dock this week.
The popular Channel 4 Show that started from Steph McGovern’s kitchen in Lockdown before moving to Leeds Dock became the pinnacle of live TV, broadcast from Yorkshire.
For one Leeds kitchen fitter it was his pride and joy when he got a call from the Channel 4 team to build the set.
54-year-old Gary Mountain of Mountains Kitchen fitters said: “Three years ago, we did it all out, it’s quite gutting taking it down really.”
