Matt previously held a Michelin star at The Latymer at Pennyhill Park where he was head chef for four years. Originally from Liverpool he learnt his trade at Teän at St. Martins-on-the-Isle on The Isles of Scilly with Kenny Atkinson. He says Le Champignon Sauvage, working under David Everritt-Matthias was his ‘finishing school’ and he took these skills to Glenapp Castle, holding the Michelin star there aged 26. He moved on to Thornton Hall before taking over as head chef at The Latymer, replacing Michael Wignall.

He has appeared on Great British Menu and MasterChef: The Professionals.
