moved to the Wirral at the age of 4, before Dubai aged 11, then Singapore with his family. It was here that his fascination with good quality food and ingredients began after being exposed to different cultures and different foods \u2013 finding these international cities to be centres of culinary excellence and diversity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Paul started his career in the industry as a kitchen porter at Thornton Hall on the Wirral, working there during schooldays before attending culinary school from the age of 18. After finishing his training, Paul began working at a local restaurant on the Wirral, where he undertook a three-year training programme with De Vere hotels. During this time, he also worked as a relief chef, a role in which he would move around different hotels and restaurants to shadow chefs and learn key skills and techniques of the trade.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">In 1987, Paul moved to New York, where he worked for the Herberts Group of restaurants which owned an extensive outside catering business. This experience taught Paul how to be adaptable as a chef due to the incredibly varied nature of the role; events ranged from a 500-cover sit down dinner to a private event for 12.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Moving back to England, Paul began his first Head Chef position at Wincham Hall in Cheshire, before taking on the role of Head Chef at the newly opened Philharmonic Hall in Liverpool in 1995. He worked here for 7 years, managing a brigade of chefs before moving to join The London Carriage Works and Hope Street Hotel team in 2002.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_col-sm-2 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_medium\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row type_default valign_top\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-2 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_col-sm-8 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\" ><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-237\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/79.170.40.237\/theartschoolrestaurant.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Pig-Illustration-2.jpg?w=260\" alt=\"The Art School\" height=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theartschoolrestaurant.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Pig-Illustration-2.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theartschoolrestaurant.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Pig-Illustration-2.jpg?resize=300%2C153&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theartschoolrestaurant.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Pig-Illustration-2.jpg?resize=600%2C306&amp;ssl=1 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>[vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;BROADCAST APPEARANCES &amp; COOKBOOK&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|font_size:28PX|text_align:center&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;%7B%22default%22%3A%7B%22font-size%22%3A%2228PX%22%7D%7D&#8221;]<div class=\"wpb_text_column\" ><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\">Paul has appeared on Saturday Kitchen and Sunday Brunch in 2017, 2018 and 2019 respectively, as well as appearing as a mentor on Celebrity MasterChef in 2018.
