Mitch Tonks

Mitch's career has been driven by a passion to inspire others to enjoy seafood. Voted Tatler's Restaurateur of the Year in 2006, he continues to build on his success as restaurateur, food writer and chef.

Born in 1966, Mitch spent the first 24 years of his life by the sea. After working as an accountant, he decided to fulfil his passion for seafood by opening a specialist fishmonger in Bath, which he expanded into a small nationwide chain of restaurants and cookery schools.

Mitch is also a cookery writer – his books have won prestigious awards including the Gourmand World Award and the André Simon award.
