The Chef Patron began cooking from a young age, saying: "I started making myself and my family dinner and fell in love with cooking, now I really enjoy making people happy in my restaurant.”
When describing his style of cooking, Gordon said: "“My food is eclectic. I've taken influence from David Everitt- Matthias when I did a stage there.
