Michael held two Michelin stars for 18 consecutive years before he took the leap of faith to create his own country house hotel, Lympstone Manor, in 2017. Just six months from opening Lympstone Manor, Michael and the team were awarded their first Michelin star.
Amongst his many accolades, Michael cooked in 10 Downing Street for the Prime Minister, was awarded AA Chef’s Chef of the Year in 2007, and received an MBE in 2006 for services to the hospitality industry..
Though Lympstone Manor has been the culmination of Michael’s lifelong dream, he is still hard at work on new projects, enthusiasms, representations.
