Tom Lewis

Tom was 13 years old when he moved to the Monachyle Mhor Hotel in Perthshire with his family. After finishing school he left home to travel for ten years. He decided to become a chef after being inspired by two people: the well-known chef Nico Ladenis, who he heard enthusing about food on BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs, and David Wilson of the Peat Inn in Fife. Since qualifying as a chef, he has returned to the Monachyle Mhor Hotel, which has won awards thick and fast with Tom as its head chef.
