Michelin Stars: One
Richard is a Norfolk boy through and through, coming from humble beginnings to running a Michelin starred kitchen, he says that ‘sometimes I pinch myself as I can’t believe what I’ve achieved’.
Richard describes his food as ‘contemporary English food with classic undertones’ and his passion is creating new menus, which he does daily at Morston Hall, experimenting with funky new recipes.
Richard has worked at the Waterside Inn with the Roux brothers as commis chef, working his way up from junior sous chef over 3 years. He says Michel Roux is an ‘absolute genius’ and was gobsmacked with him and the food he produced.
Richard has also worked at Thorntons in Dublin, where he ‘fused’ his ‘classical training with the future’, which allowed him to ‘push his boundaries and his flavour barriers’.
