9th Avenue Bistro KZN
Charlie’s love for food and cooking began way back when
he was a little boy. At eight years old he cooked his first full roast
chicken dinner complete with Yorkshire Puddings and got his first
kitchen job at the tender age of 12. Born into a family of farmers he
has been surrounded by livestock and food for about as long as he can
remember. He went on to receive his formal training at Yorkshire Coast
College before becoming Sous Chef at The Star Inn where, together with
the then Head Chef Andrew Pern, combined modern techniques with
traditional home style cooking to create their own signature style. They
subsequently won a Michelin star.
Charlie remained there for four years and after
another four year stint at the Faversham Arms as Head Chef, he finally
went on to become Head Chef at The Marquis at Alkham, a five star fine
dining establishment in Kent in the UK. During his time at The Marquis,
the restaurant won “Restaurant of the Year” in the Taste of Kent
Awards, Three AA rosettes and of course a Michelin Star Rising.
Charlie has appeared in two seasons of The Great
British Menu, The Olympics and the Comic Relief series and now South
African diners will get to experience his mastery in the kitchen for
themselves. He has been in South Africa for two years and is already
turning heads on the culinary scene.
