Steve Mercer

With over 15 years of experience in professional kitchens, Steve is a classically trained chef from Bristol, UK, whose cooking is rooted in a deep respect for seasonal, locally grown ingredients. Having worked in a field-to-fork kitchen, Steve developed a passion for showcasing produce at its freshest — a philosophy that continues to shape their approach to food today.

‍
Their career has also spanned wedding venues across Ireland, where they honed their craft in elegant, large-scale dining, and they have run their own vegetarian food truck and catering business, bringing vibrant, plant-focused dishes to a wide audience.

Blending classical training with a creative, ingredient-led style, Steve celebrates simplicity, sustainability, and the true flavour of the seasons in every dish.
