Andrew first fell in love with food whilst fishing with his father as a young boy.
Andrew has had the opportunity to learn from chefs such as Ben Quinn and Simon Stallard, which gave him a passion for open fire cooking. He currently works as head chef of the award-winning St. Kew Inn, which recently ranked 36th in the Estrella Dame Top 50 Gastro Pub, and is in the Michelin guide.
He often puts his skills to the test, participating yearly in the Meatopia festival held in London, alongside some of the world’s best live-fire chefs, including Lennox Hastie.
Tuck brings to the competition a unique skill set, and ability to create amazing flavour combinations, taking inspiration for his menu from British animators Aardman, and illustration from Gully children’s books.
