Get to know me better

I create flavour first food to enhance the occasion and bring people together.
Originally from the United Kingdom, my passion for cooking began in his early teens while working as a dishwasher in a local pub. With that and the benefit of a family of food lovers around me, that I discovered a love for hospitality and the craft of cooking. I went on to complete my professional chef training in Birmingham before moving to London, where I began to refine his skills in a Michelin-starred kitchen.
My culinary journey has since taken me across the world, cooking in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and now New Zealand. Along the way, I have worked in fine dining restaurants, neighbourhood bistros, artisan bakeries, and as a private chef. I have also owned and operated my own food trailer business and a successful pizza pop-up, giving him a broad understanding of both exceptional food and the importance of creating memorable dining experiences.
