While he didn’t make it past the fish course, this year he hopes to take his unique style all the way to the Banquet. Having learnt to cook with his nan, he brings warmth and nostalgia to his relationship with food.
Robbie has over two decades of catering experience honed in diverse kitchen environments, including fine dining restaurants and high-end event catering like Roux Fine Dining and The Royal Ascot.
In 2020, Robbie launched ‘Only Food and Courses’ - his own pop up concept restaurant in Brixton, with a vision to disrupt expectations of fine dining. Following rave reviews, he has since taken his restaurant to a fixed site at the Cheshire Cheese pub on the Strand.
Robbie is renowned for his highly creative menus based on 80s and 90s nostalgia, offering dishes such as his take on a Pop Tart, crab scotch eggs and lobster doughnuts.
Hoping to bring some of that imaginative flair to his menu, he will be taking inspiration from British animation including Captain Pugwash and Fifi and The Flowertots.
