Rupert Rowley is head chef at the Michelin-starred Fischer's restaurant at Baslow Hall in Derbyshire, which was listed in the top 25 restaurants in the 2009 Good Food Guide.
Rupert is a born and bred Sheffield lad - King Edward School & Sheffield Catering College. As one of Mick Burke's prodigies at Sheffield College he secured a placement to Raymond Blanc's 'Manoir au Quat' Saison in Oxford. He was such a success, Raymond asked him to stay on, which he did until 1997.
His next strategic career move took him to work for the infamous John Burton Race at the 2 Michelin starred L'Ortolan restaurant in Reading.
In 2001 he decided to brave the kitchens of Gordon Ramsay at his flagship 3 Michelin starred Chelsea restaurant which he did for a year before going to Baslow Hall in 2002. In 2003 he was appointed Head Chef.
