welcome!
The place of home-cooked, locally sourced & produced food.
I'm Martin Dawkins, The Rustic Chef, with 20+ years experience in kitchens and mentored by chefs like Marcus Wareing at Petrus and Alex Aitken at Le Poussin. I champion local, sustainable ingredients to celebrate seasonal flavours. Whether at food festivals or demonstrations, my goal is simple: to deliver tasty, honest and easy-to-make food.
