Meet The Team
Chef Aiobh Geen
Aiobh's love for cooking grew from a young age, working in the kitchens of her local gastro pub at just 14. With a passion for good food and fresh ingredients she landed an apprenticeship under the guidance of another top female chef, Nat Tallents. After briefly working with Ben at The Box Kitchen and Bar she migrated on through some of the best kitchens in Plymouth including Salumi and The Fig Tree@36
A naturally gifted cook and with leadership qualities rarely seen in most young chefs, Aiobh landed her first head chef role, only 1 year after officially finishing college, at 20. Now heading up a seafood restaurant with its own flotilla of trawlers and serving some of the best and freshest seafood in the city she has carved a name for herself as one of the future stars of the industry
Never one to sit on her laurels, she felt that she still has more to give and a keen desire to bring a touch of luxury in to people's daily lives with her incredible skillset and passion for good food

A move to London led on to many positions in some of the best restaurants in the city and some of the best hotels in Mayfair. Having already racked up an impressive CV, working for the likes of Gary Rhodes, Gordon Ramsay, Mark Hix and many others, Ben returned to his home county and established himself in Plymouth working for some of the busiest restaurants there including River Cottage and Marco Pierre Whites Steakhouse
