My wife Emma & I opened our little restaurant on St Agnes, Isles of Scilly during the summer of 2007.
Having been a chef for 19 years, I have a varied work history beginning in my home town of Martinborough in New Zealand, I started as kitchen hand at the age of 13 in a little Restaurant The Zodiac, I left school at the age of 16 and moved to Wanganui to do my chef training, after that i stayed in Wanganui for a couple of years getting experience in various Restaurants & Cafes.
At the age of 19 i left NZ moving to England where i started in the North working my way down South where i ended up in Cornwall helping my father run his pub.
In 1999 i went to work for John & Pauline Dart at the Turks Head on St Agnes where i worked for two seasons before going back to NZ.
After a short time working in Rotorua i ended up back in Martinborough, I worked in the Martinborough Hotel for a couple of years as Sous Chef when one day John & Pauline stayed at the hotel whilst on holiday & one evening over a fine bottle of port i decided to go back to the Islands & I've never looked back!
My wife Emma is from Leeds but has a long family history on St Agnes. As well as being your host in the Restaurant, she is also an Artist & many of her paintings grace the walls of high tide - all of which are for sale.
We hope to see you soon in our little restaurant by the sea.
