With a lifelong love of food, my journey in the kitchen began at home, baking and learning basic cookery alongside my mother. This early passion was deepened during family holidays in France, where I developed a lasting appreciation for French cuisine and the French way of eating – a passion that continues to inspire my cooking today.
I began my professional career in 1995 as a trainee chef at The Snooty Fox in Tetbury. From there, I progressed through the ranks in a number of award-winning kitchens across the South West of England, gaining valuable experience and refining my culinary skills along the way. My first Head Chef position came at The Eastbury Hotel in Sherborne, Dorset, where I was proud to achieve my first AA Rosette just six weeks into the role. This success was followed by the award of two AA Rosettes in 2004 and 2005.
I later spent two years in a senior role at The Belfry Hotel, overseeing several of the on-site restaurants, before taking on a Head Chef position at St Audries Park, a renowned wedding venue, where I remained from 2016 to 2023.
Returning to The Corner House Hotel in December 2023, I’ve embraced the opportunity to bring my passion for French cuisine to the fore, creating seasonal, French-inspired menus that celebrate fresh ingredients, classic techniques, and bold, elegant flavours.
