ABOUT DAN MATTHEWS

Dan’s love of honest food and cooking started at an early age, working closely in a professional kitchen with his mother from the age of 14.   At 20 he was in charge of a team at a new start up restaurant in Brighton and then went on to spend, what he describes as an incredible few years, as 2nd chef at The George & Dragon in Spellhurst.  Whilst there he found a passion for working with ethically sourced, free to roam and locally sourced organic produce, and came to received a Michelin ‘Bib Gourmand’.
