Chris is back in the GBM kitchen with a hunger to prove he has what it takes to go all the way to the banquet. He came so close last time he appeared on the show, with three of his four dishes coming second to the winners in Finals week – and this time, he means business.
Chris is proud to have worked with veteran chef Paul Ainsworth for over ten years and is now chef de cuisine at No. 6. He’s part of the team that won and have kept their Michelin star and 4 AA rosettes, and was named the Observer Food Monthly’s Chef of the Year in 2018. Whilst Chris has made Padstow his home, he was born and bred in County Down, Northern Ireland, and he couldn’t imagine representing any other region in the GBM kitchen.
Chris looked to Northern Irish comedian Roy Walker as inspiration for an engaging ‘Catchphrase’ inspired turbot dish, and uses the longest running entertainment show in the world ‘The Royal Variety Performance’ to influence what he hopes will be just one of his show-stopping dishes.
