Tom Shepherd has been appointed head chef of Michelin starred restaurant Adam’s

Tom Shepherd, from the Development Kitchen pop-up which he runs with chef Adam Degg, joins Michelin-starred Adam's in Birmingham as head chef.

His previous experience includes two Michelin-starred Restaurant Sat Bains and the Latymer with Michael Wignall.

Tom told The Staff Canteen: "It's the perfect platform for me to take my career to the next level, I've worked in some of the best restaurant/kitchens in the country with some of the best chefs, Sat Bains and Michael Wignall being the most coveted.
"At 29, and being a Birmingham born lad I was looking for the right platform to strive further, Adam's being in my home town, with a stunning restaurant, amazing kitchen, very young, energetic and enthusiastic team, it is just perfect for me to push on from the get go."
Adam Stokes added: "We are really excited Tom is joining the restaurant and looking forward to progressing together, we feel Tom's food ethos and management style will really suit the restaurant."
