Describe your style of cooking

I would say good home grown country cooking with a modern twist.

What dish are you most proud of?

The one I’m cooking today.

What is your favourite British food?

I couldn’t say one particular food ingredient as I think all foods have right times, occasions and seasons where they stand out.

How do you source your ingredients?

As locally as possible, through farmers markets and other chefs/restaurants recommendations.

What would you say has been the highlight of your chef career?

My very first day in the kitchen as a trainee. I loved it and was terrified at the same time.

If you could give up work tomorrow, what would you do?

I would teach.

Have you ever had any unusual food requests?

All the time, mostly from people who think they have allergies to a specific food - but don’t!

What advice would you give any up and coming chefs?

Try and start in the right kitchen with knowledgeable chefs.
