Speaking of his award-winning restaurant, Cornerstone, Tom said: ‘One of my favourite things with the restaurant is treating fish not like fish.’
He admitted that he never expected the eatery to be as successful as it’s become, and insisted his dishes are no-frills food always based on something he knows the customer will enjoy.
He said: ‘It’s nice, with the restaurant I always just thought people would not hate it. A lot of chefs don’t think enough about making something just taste really nice.’
