Neil is an award winning chef, entrepreneur and restaurateur, with Michelin training and a science degree. He was previously known for his butchery and BBQ cooking, having opened several meat-led restaurants including Temper. In 2019 he began experimenting with fermented vegetables and set out to prove that plant based ‘meats’ could be made without a load of processed powders and still taste incredible. Neil believes in using ingredients that he can grow and cook in the kitchen himself, which led to the start of Symplicity Foods.
