What is your cooking style and what should people expect from the food on your menu?

French and Scottish cuisine but with a modern twist.

What

is your favourite dish to cook and why?

It varies from menu to menu, but usually, it's the specials as they come to fruition by interest and creativity.

What do you like about The Staff Canteen app and website?

They're attentive and usually have a response and clarity when I'm looking for something.

What are your plans for the future?

I plan to continue creating tasting menus, earning rewards, and potentially owning my own restaurant in the future.

What is the most important lesson you’ve learnt as a chef?

Mise en place is by far the most important; as the saying goes, "By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail".
