I am a professional chef with over 20 years experience. From large scale banquets to intimate fine dining experiences, my career has given me the opportunity to work at some fantastic places all over the world. I’ve delivered cooking classes to underprivileged families in Manchester, and run cooking competitions for kids in New York. I’ve been part of Manchester’s vibrant street food scene as Savage Cabbage - our menu featured salt beef, loads of different fermented brassicas, veggies & funky sauces, all made from scratch and we were featured by Waitrose, as one of the summer’s best new street food to try. I’ve also curated several private chef events both in people’s homes and for company incentives.

For me, cooking is...

learning, evolving, educating & bringing happiness to others. Cooking allows me to tell a story through food & introduce people to new experiences.

I learned to cook at...

Restaurants & hotels all across the Northwest, and I’m still learning and gathering inspiration from amazing chefs worldwide, 25 years later.

A cooking secret...

Calmness, attention to detail and passion in what you’re creating.

Hired Ian for Valentines Day after a wonderful menu proposal. Ian gave great comms prior to meeting and gave recommendations on suggested wine pairing. Upon arrival it was immediately clear he's a lovely guy with a passion for what he does. Food was incredible in both presentation and taste. I've dined at a lot of michelin places and it was on par - but coming from my kitchen which usually makes fish pie and fajitas! There was no drama, no delays and no smoke! Clean up was spot on. Would recommend to anyone!
