Though he’s known for a while that he’s one of two black chefs in the UK with a Michelin star, he’s always wanted the focus to be on his food and not the colour of his skin. Black and south Asian chefs lead just 6% of Michelin-starred restaurants. He was the first black chef and first English chef in Loiseau’s kitchen.
