I'm self-taught cook, watercolour artist, and architect. I enjoy nothing better than sharing good food and wine with friends. After I won the BBC's 'Master Chef', Susan and I first thought of setting up our small restaurant. We undertook some research and discovered that our friends and colleagues shared the same thoughts. It took little encouragement from them to fulfil our dream and in 1994 we decided to practice what we preach and the 'Water Tower' Restaurant was born. A restaurant that is not a restaurant! It is a place where a group of friends, family or business can meet, eat, drink and enjoy good company in an unpretentious setting with a feel of home. Cooking is not only a passion to me it is a lifestyle, hobby and when combined with painting it is my livelihood
