George Blogg

Since then he’s worked at Juniper in Altrincham, Stockcross’s The Vineyard, and was named head chef at the Endsleigh Hotel, gaining three AA rosettes for his efforts there. More recently, he impressed at The Bingham in Richmond, chalking up another three AA rosettes and his first Michelin star, before moving on to take the role of Executive Chef at London's Goring Hotel.

In an era when children’s diets largely consisted of Findus crispy pancakes and oven chips, the young George Blogg was fortunate enough to be introduced to produce-led eating: “My family’s always liked good food, my mum and dad used to have an allotment, I used to eat everything,” he recalls. Originally harbouring ambitions to be a geologist, his mother inadvertently directed him towards a culinary profession after turning down shifts at the local Italian – and suggesting her son instead.
