Chef Patron of Turners, one Michelin star

Richard Turner runs Turners, his small, self-titled restaurant in Harborne, Birmingham. He opened the restaurant in 2007 and it won a Michelin star after just two years. Surprisingly for a Michelin chef, he is self-taught, having gained his experience locally. His restaurant style is attentive, friendly, and welcoming to seasoned food-o-philes and newcomers alike, and his food is described as ‘Modern British with French influences’ largely from Richard’s forays into France. Like many chefs, Richard’s first experience in the industry was as a dishwasher. One day his boss asked if he would like a go in the kitchen and that was his start. He took a Youth Training Scheme and stayed at Thrales for nine years before moving to a restaurant in Four Oaks for four years until finally opening Turners. Richard has also appeared as Head Chef on ITV's 'Britain’s Best Dish' and on stage at the region’s food shows.
