Carl has 15 years experience working in professional kitchens, having worked his way up and developed his skills along the way. But his love of food began many years before that, watching and helping his grandmother in the kitchen. 

She cooked from scratch, making her own sauces and taking the time to prepare food properly. Carl continues ithat tradition n the kitchen today, preparing his own sauces to complement his dishes, including faviourites such as tartare and horseradish. 

For Carl, good cooking starts with fresh, carefully chosen ingredients and making the most of seasonal produce whenever possible. 

Not sure what to choose?  Carl recommends the rump steak from our local butcher, a great example of the ingredients he belives in, cooked with care and full of flavour.  For Carl, a good steak is all about starting with quality meat and allowing its flavour to shine.

With 15 years in the kitchen, Carl still enjoys seeing a dish come together and knowing that someone is going to sit down and enjoy something he has prepared with care.
