Introducing Chef Freddy Bird

Chef Freddy Bird was once quoted as saying, “For a chef, cooking is about generosity and excitement – a desire to share ingredients that most others can’t get hold of – I’ve never been one for trying to show off skills, I’d rather host the best party.” With that outlook on the food that Freddy Bird creates, we can already see why his culinary career has been so successful.

Born and raised in Bristol, Chef Bird grew up with an interest in cooking. While some children were more concerned with what was on their plate, a young Freddy Bird was more interested in how it got there. As he grew older, his passion for cooking grew and he decided that a career in the culinary field was right for him.

Freddy trained at Ballymaloe before starting his culinary career in London, where he began working at 2 Michelin star restaurant, The Square, with Philip Howard and then at Moro with Sam & Sam Clark. As his career grew, so did his cooking skills. Eventually, in 2008, Freddy returned to the West Country where he launched his own restaurant at Lido Bristol. Much to the delight of the culinary press, and hungry diners as well, Lido Bristol was named finalist in the 2016 Observer Food Monthly Awards. With the success of his first venture, Chef Bird launched another restaurant, Thames Lido, in Reading just two years later.

A Partnership Made In The Kitchen

With multiple television appearances on BBC1’s Saturday Kitchen , Ch4’s Sunday Brunch and the Hairy Bikers Comfort Food series, and, as co-presenter for the television show, Hidden Restaurants, Chef Freddy Bird has certainly made a name for himself in the culinary world. Good Taste Foods is fortunate to have partnered with Chef Bird as he has shared his wealth of knowledge and experience to help us grow our business and serve our customers better.
