Award Winning Chef

I set up Bistro26 in February 2007 with the vision to create a place where I’d like to go to eat and relax with a bottle of wine.

I started working for the De Vere group following my training, then moved back to Lancashire. In the next ten years I learnt my trade at restaurants including Elliots, the Folly and the award winning gastro pub, the Bayhorse in Forton.

I was privileged to work under Brain Mellor (English Olympic cookery team member) and John Benson-Smith (consultant to Manchester City football club) who inspired me to get the best out of the produce. In 2001 I became executive chef for the award winning Waterwitch pub and restaurant. Currently I am influenced by Michael Caines, Antony Demetre, Gordon Ramsey and Galton Blackiston who create perfection on a plate. 

I look forward to seeing you soon.
