Area: Solihull, United Kingdom
Jacques is a self taught and slightly unconventional chef who focuses on bringing something unique to the table. Starting out in a friend’s health food catering business he quickly realised just how much he enjoys cooking and within 6 months he opened the doors to his very own bistro. His concept was to serve a seasonal menu whereby every single ingredient was locally sourced and every dish on the menu was completely made by hand in house by he and his small team of chefs. Jacques’ food philosophy is simple: simplicity, technique and flavour. Food is art and dining should always be an experience! This humble approach to honest cooking earned his first restaurant a place in the top 4 restaurants in South Africa in 2016’s Restaurant Week Spring edition. After adding a new little member of the family, a recent move to Birmingham with his family means that Jacques is here to passionately shake things up a bit and bring a whole new flavour to the already bustling Birmingham food scene. With a vast knowledge in wine and spirits Jacques specialises in paired menus of all kinds: from coffee to brandies and even craft beer pairing menus. Jacques has a deep love for dessert and it shows in the way he merges old favourites and modern technique.

Area: Birmingham, United Kingdom
Stuart has spent a lifetime in catering as he grew up as a hotelier’s son. From an early age, everything from being able to pour the perfect gin & tonic to opening a bottle of wine with a waiters friend and being able to pour it properly was important. It was ingrained into him from those formative years. He gained early FOH experience in his fathers 30 bedroom Georgian luxury country house hotel. His first roll as a chef was within a country house hotel and Timeshare resort in Royal Deeside. 20 years have now passed and his experiences have taught him much in the way of knowledge and technique. Spending over 6 years in a fine dining seafood restaurant, he left as the head chef with 3 rosettes to his name. From there to a busy city centre bar/brasserie, he served up to 700 covers a day (brunch, lunch, dinner and private dining) in all styles of food. He then spent 10 years at a city law firm, looking after their hospitality and staff restaurant, all to the highest standard, offering all formats of food from canapes, buffets and working lunches to top quality fine dining. This extended to their homes for private work for directors and partners of the firm. Other private work has involved charity auctions offering a tailored experience within the comfort of your own home. Within this time he developed a love for baking. Bread, cakes, cookies all became part of the daily ritual. A passionate lover of food and embraces new styles and techniques from all around the world. When on holiday, he will sample local food and take from that ideas to introduce into his food. A real foodie!
