Kirk Haworth, Plates

Hey folks, welcome back to the Scoop podcast.

Today, I am speaking with Kirk Haworth, the head chef and co-owner of Plates. This is the only Michelin-starred, fully plant-based restaurant in the UK. This idea arose from Kirk’s personal struggle with health; he began battling Lyme disease in his mid to late 20s after working in kitchens from the age of 12. The illness turned his life upside down, and he had to take time out of the kitchen, change his own diet and in turn revolutionise his culinary style.

With training from restaurants like The French Laundry, Restaurant Sat Bains and The Square, his radical new repertoire hasn’t just brought plant-based eating into the mainstream — it’s captured the culinary zeitgeist and earned Plates its first Michelin star.

I’m Stella, and I’m gonna take you out for dinner.
