Roux Scholarship finalist, Curtis Tonge, joins Andrew Sheridan’s Dishes as head chef
.
Roux Scholarship finalist, Curtis Tonge has been appointed as the new head chef of Andrew Sheridan’s restaurant Dishes in North Wales, after leaving the two AA Rosette-holding Manifest in Liverpool. A 2021 Roux Scholarship finalist, he brings with him a wealth of experience. Curtis worked at the one-Michelin-starred Northcote and the fine-dining restaurant at the Chester Grosvenor Hotel.
Curtis, a dad-of-two from Chester, is looking forward to elevating the menu at Dishes, which Michelin praised for its ‘roll-call of terrific Welsh ingredients.’ “I’m absolutely delighted to be joining ORG as the new head chef of Dishes. It’s a brilliant opportunity for me to lead a team and show what I can do,” comments Curtis. Andrew Sheridan added: “To get Curtis onboard is a real coup for us. He’s an immensely talented chef bringing loads of experience and enthusiasm to his new role.”
‘Dishes’ is just one of a portfolio of restaurants owned by the Open Restaurant Group (ORG). Spearheaded by Andrew and husband and wife Sam and Emma Morgan, ORG includes the three AA Rosette 8 by Andrew Sheridan in Liverpool and OXA in The Wirral.
Recently, the group acquired Pensons, the farm-to-fork restaurant with rooms, on the Netherwood Estate in rural Worcestershire. Other venues include The Bracebridge, a lakeside pub and restaurant in Sutton Coldfield, Black & Green, and Cofton on the Green, in Barnt Green, Worcestershire.
