Nathan Outlaw

Born in Kent, Nathan trained at Thanet College and began his career at the Intercontinental, Hyde Park Corner under the late Peter Kromberg. Early in his career he worked for several esteemed chefs, finally coming to Cornwall to join Rick Stein at The Seafood Restaurant, Padstow.

In 2003, Nathan opened his first restaurant, The Black Pig, Rock and gained his first Michelin star. Following other ventures, he settled at St Enodoc Hotel, Rock where Restaurant Nathan Outlaw now holds 2 Michelin stars and is 5th in the Good Food Guide’s Top 50 Restaurants 2013. The less formal Outlaw’s at Rock was recently awarded Gold in the Best Restaurant category of both the Cornwall Tourism and Taste of the South West Awards. In October 2012, Nathan opened Outlaw’s at The Capital Hotel, Knightsbridge.

In September 2012, Nathan’s partnership with Cornwall College, Academy Nathan Outlaw, confirmed his commitment to training and education for the hospitality industry and earned his company the runners up position in the CCB Excellence in Business Training Awards 2013. Nathan Outlaw Restaurants Ltd was also awarded Western Morning News Best Hospitality or Tourism Business 2012.

Nathan regularly appears on television and at local food festivals. His first book, ‘Nathan Outlaw’s British Seafood’ was published in May 2012; a second is currently being written.

Nathan is proud to champion sustainability and his ethos is to use only the best locally and responsibly caught fish, meat and produce which he cooks simply to showcase the flavours.
