For more than 20 years, I’ve been sprinkling a little magic onto plates in some of the finest hotels and restaurants in Scotland and England. My training didn’t come from a classroom. It came from the kitchen line itself: I sharpened my craft at five-star hotels like Mar Hall in Scotland, then at Careys Manor in England, where our team earned three AA Rosettes.

Today I call Madeira home. My wife Emma, who was born here, opened my eyes to the richness of Portuguese cooking, and that has become part of everything I make. My menus bring together the precision of British fine dining with the warmth of Madeiran and Portuguese tradition, blending classic and modern flavours.

For me, cooking is a never-ending adventure. I’m always experimenting with new techniques and looking for ways to push a dish one step further. I love making vegetables the star of the plate, and I have a real passion for game, which I treat with the care it deserves.

Whether it’s an intimate dinner, a celebration, or a full catered event, I design every menu around you, including gluten-free, vegan and dairy-free options, so every guest at the table feels looked after.
