James Martin

James, a Yorkshire lad from Malton in the North Riding, began working in kitchens in 1984 at the age of 12, as a pot washer for the Castle Howard estate where his father ran the catering operation. A year later he took a trip to the chateaux of southern France where he got hooked on fine food and this set him down his culinary career path.

At 16 he enrolled at Scarborough catering college, where he was named Student of the Year for three years running, and by 1991 he was honing his skills under Anthony Worrall Thompson’s eye at One Ninety Queen’s Gate in London.

He worked for leading chefs in several capital restaurants, including two-Michelin-starred The Square and Harvey’s, and gained further experience in France at Michelin star establishments before returning to England to become a junior pastry chef at the luxury country house hotel Chewton Glen.

in 1994, just before his 22nd birthday, James achieved one of his lifetime ambitions of becoming a head chef, opening the original Hotel and Bistro du Vin in Winchester.

He made regular appearances on The Big Breakfast and Ready, Steady, Cook launching his TV career and he’s barely been off our screens since.
