MICHELIN STARRED CHEF
Restaurateur & Hotelier– Norfolk, UK

Galton Blackiston – is a multi-award-winning chef and food writer, who has been awarded a Michelin star for a remarkable 25 consecutive years.
Galton combines his time as chef patron and co-owner of Morston Hall hotel and restaurant in north Norfolk. Morston Hall, was established in 1992, has been voted hotel and restaurant of the year by a succession of national and regional bodies and publications, as well as a Michelin star Morston also boasts, four AA red stars and four AA rosettes.
Galton has never trained formally as a chef, instead gleaning experience on the job as he worked his way to head chef in his first job at the Miller Howe country hotel in the Lake District.

Living so close to the sea, it became clear Galton’s skills where not only using locally sourced ingredients but buying direct from the local fisherman, Galton’s seafood dishes soon began to turn heads. His knack of taking simple ingredients and pairing them with techniques and flavours that allow the flavours to remain pure whilst bringing a sense of fun to the occasion are evident within his array of fish menus.

Of his beginnings, Galton says:
As a cash strapped 17-year old, I set up a market stall in Rye selling homemade cakes, biscuits and preserves. The range became known by the locals as ‘Galton’s Goodies’, was constantly sold out and I realised cooking was my future!
