Richard Birch was protégé at Prue Leith
Protégé of a Michelin-starred Prue Leith in London's Notting Hill Gate is now the Executive Chef at The Claremont Hotel's Coast Bar & Brasserie.
Richard Birch started work at the early age of 14 in North Wales.
He's also formally known on Island as Head Chef at Samphire - where he had a reputation for using locally-sourced ingredients, and fresh Manx fish.
Richard explains where his interest in fish dishes came from:
Charity says bank support has been vital
Victim Support has been working with RBS International

It comes after recent changes to the UK's BSE status have caused 'huge problems' for Manx farmers
