Why Kent / Orpington GPO ?
Choosing Kent as a place to be a chef was easy . It ’ s green , lush and the Garden of England in terms of produce - it ’ s a very foodie county , yet also just on the doorstep of London . Orpington itself has a very loyal community , who also care about food and drink . simple indulgence . For dinner , the halibut with cockle cream and sea herbs - refined and rich yet delicate and simple - just how dining should be !
What is your guilty pleasure ? Watching Zulu and drinking beer !
Tell us about the dishes and menu you have created at Orpington GPO ?
My approach is fully nose-to-tail , casual dining . This means we are big on butchery , provenance and using the whole animal . This works perfectly here as Orpington residents - and guests who travel to GPO - like their fish and meat ! I work directly with Smithfields to source our meat and with select , handpicked local suppliers for everything else .
