Damian Clisby

Damian's passion for cooking was ignited by his grandfather, a butcher at Smithfields who taught him how to smoke freshly caught salmon on his farm in Co Cork. Damian went on to work in some of the best kitchens in London including a stint as head chef and chef director at the Michelin starred Petersham Nurseries, and later opening the wonderful pop-up restaurant, Emile.

Today Damian works alongside our teams at Hawarden Estate Farm Shop and The Glynne Arms to create knock-out menus and deliver plates that are among the best in the country.
