'My connection to food isn’t rooted in specific memories or individual dishes—it’s grounded in the land and the sea. I’m inspired by the raw beauty of the British Isles, by nature itself, and by the challenge of working with the ever-changing seasons. At the heart of my cooking is a desire to work in harmony with the soil, the wind, and the water—to create dishes that are both meaningful and intentional.
The British Isles are home to some of the world’s finest seafood, rare heritage-breed meats, and sustainably farmed vegetables. Counter 71 exists to give these exceptional ingredients the platform they deserve.
Every dish we serve tells a story—one shaped by landscape, season, and a deep respect for nature.'
