Laszlo Nagy
Born in Hungary, newcomer Laszlo got his passion for cooking from his great-grandmother, who taught him as a child to respect ingredients, and where they come from.

Classically trained in French cuisine, Laszlo spent the beginning of his career working on cruise ships before making the leap of faith to move to London, where he was privileged to work under Chef Robert Reid at the famous Balthazar restaurant in Covent Garden (Michelin guide).
Meat eater Laszlo wanted to challenge himself by becoming a zero-waste plant-based chef, and that’s exactly what he did in 2021 when he became the Head Chef at Chester based Hypha. Since he began running the kitchen, the restaurant gained a green star and 2 AA rosettes amongst its accolades.
Lazlo is ridiculously competitive, and is over the moon representing the North West. He hopes his creative menu - inspired by the Buttercup Farm comic - will take him all the way to the Banquet.
