at Kendal College, Kevin went to work for the Michelin starred Sharrow Bay as chef de partie before moving on to L’Enclume with Simon Rogan where he worked his way up the ranks to become sous chef and head forager. It was during this time that Kevin’s passion for foraging grew and after nine years Kevin was appointed head chef of another of Simon’s restaurants, Rogan & Co which is just around the corner from L’Enclume.
