Tell us a bit about yourself:

I’ve been a chef for 27 years, starting out on a Youth Training Scheme many moons ago. I’ve lived in Derbyshire nearly all my life and started training at the Gateway Hotel in Nottingham when it first opened – that is actually where I first met Santo.

How would you describe your approach to food?

 I ensure that we always use local ingredients where possible. I also have the added bonus of an extensive herb garden and apple and pear trees.
