Hailing from a small village called Tannadice, about 20 miles north of Dundee, Mark was first inspired to get into cooking by his mum, who had previously owned a restaurant. Throughout his childhood she was always cooking or foraging for ingredients.
Mark worked at Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's River Cottage, before becoming Head Chef and co-owner of his own restaurant, The Ethicurean in Somerset. Local produce and sustainability is at the forefront of Mark’s food, having garnered a green Michelin star whilst leading the kitchen. Mark’s cooking style is incredibly creative, seeing food as a completely immersive experience - from garden to plate.
Mark went to school in Kirriemuir, where J. M. Barrie was born. For his menu, he takes inspiration from the illustrated works of Peter Pan to celebrate the author who holds a special place in his heart.
