A PUB chef who won the Taste of Staffordshire Masterchef competition twice has revealed he is hoping to open his own restaurant.
Richard Cullen was named Staffordshire’s top chef this year and also picked up the Young Chef of Tomorrow accolade in 2006.
The respected head chef, who works at The Spotgate Inn, in Hilderstone, near Stone, has now said his next challenge is to own a restaurant. Richard, aged 27, of Weston Coyney, said: “My first catering job was at the pub at the age of 15 when my mum and dad took it over.
“My dad is a chef and he inspired me to get into cooking from a young age.
“Having entered the competition a few times now, my dream would be to open my own restaurant.”
