Fifteen graduate Gavin Gordon had only recently joined The Hut on the Isle of Wight when the pandemic hit, meaning that he was stuck on the Isle away from his children during the first lockdown.

His role at the Isle of Wight restaurant inauspiciously began in early March, but even all this considered, the chef is glad to be part of the team there, partly thanks to the owners, whose approach he has great respect for.

Born in Leeds and raised in London, the chef calls himself "an adopted Cockney."

Though he got off to a great start as a chef as part of a Fifteen London brigade, this would see him progress on to great restaurants including one Michelin-starred Novecento in Italy, Gordon Ramsay's The Narrow, Mac n'Wild, Bonnie Gull and to make it to the quarter finals in MasterChef: The Professionals 2018.
