Get to know me better
I'm a young chef constantly seeking big flavours and good times!
I am a young chef with a passion for hospitality and good food.
After many years gaining experience in one of the most prestigious fine dining restaurants in Edinburgh, I travelled to France where I became a Head Chalet Chef for a leading luxury chalet provider. There, I transferred my skills to provide a much more intimate and personalised service. I loved the interaction with the guests - something that is always missing in a restaurant setting. The ability to adapt directly to your individual needs is something that will never be possible in a restaurant, however it is the most satisfying thing to achieve as a chef. It's this bespoke experience I want to bring to your home or event and I am driven to provide the perfect evening for you.
I pride myself on sourcing the very best local produce, and being based in Newcastle leaves me few excuses. With an abundance of independent markets sourcing from local organic farms, alongside some of the best fishmongers and butchers in the country, it's difficult not to get excited about the produce the area has to offer.
It's my goal to make your life as easy as possible, all my menus are adjustable and I'm completely open to ideas or requests you may have. Just ask.

Jack was absolutely fantastic from sending his menu, to leaving on the night. I booked Jack to cook for 8 of us for my sisters hen weekend and Jack travelled over an hour there and back to do this for us. He was brilliant from the minute he got there, putting on a ‘husband to be’ mask, taking photographs for us, chatting to us, not to mention his amazing food. We got even more than what was on the menu and we honestly felt like we were in a 5 star restaurant!! Jack told us exactly what he was serving with each dish and the presentation and flavours were out of this world. He even left us his salt as we forgot to bring some!! The kitchen was immaculate when he left!!!! I won’t hesitate to use Jack again and look forward to the next time : )
