Michael YatesMichael was born in Lancashire, northwest England. His passion for the restaurant industry started at the age of 15 where he started washing dishes in a local Italian restaurant for pocket money, but was instantly infected with "the cooking bug". From here he trained in various Michelin starred restaurants around the UK, including a role as sous chef at Restaurant Martin Wishart in Edinburgh. Next he made the journey to Oud Sluis (where he met Marijke) and stayed for the last 3 years as sous chef. This experience allows Michael to put his own "Modern British" style on the best local ingredients, giving classical cookery a refreshing touch.
