About Us
Fish. Cook. Repeat.
Fins & Forks was developed and created by myself during the upside down times of 2020 having just welcomed a wonderful son into the world and "the rona" having cost me my job. I have been chef for 2 decades and worked all over the world with some incredibly talented people and high profile clients, and I've caught a few fish along the way. I've spent the last few years, in part, mentoring chefs for competitions and trying to get that elusive first place in the "All England Squid Fishing Championships"
I felt the time was right to set up Fins & Forks to share my knowledge and experience - both inside the kitchen and outside of it, and give you the customer a high quality experience, all whilst doing something I am incredibly passionate about. So get in touch, even if what you require is not listed on the website, If it involves fish, or food, hospitality or events, corporate or business, I may well be able to help and would be delighted to hear from you.
Enough from me, please take a look around...

Working with the best on the South Coast
From our home at the beautiful Sompting Estate in the heart of the South Downs National Park we are delighted to work in partnership with some of Sussex and its neighbouring counties most recognisable brands and talented individuals. From "Fishy" Rob Howard, owner of Brighton Inshore Fishing and Brighton's resident sea fishing expert, to the unbeatable & unique Chalk Springs Fishery in Arundel. Our farmers market trout is sourced from Chalkstream foods just down the road in Hampshire.
We are all about locality, quality, seasonality & sustainability, and with a county as beautiful and bountiful as Sussex, why would we need to look outside of it!
Covid Secure
Whilst we all wish it would disappear unfortunately it needs recognising... With Fins & Forks having been born during the pandemic it has been set up with Covid safety front and centre, from designing our kitchen and work space to putting together our packages. Our very limited numbers and encouragement for private bookings means we are well set to give a safe experience and peace of mind.
Sustainability & Charity
We have chosen the following organisations & charity's to support during 2021 for their life saving and fish saving work.
The Shoreham R.N.L.I
The Marine Conservation Society
