Chef Director Luke Tipping

It takes a special restaurant to win a Michelin Star, and an even more special restaurant to hold that star for 20 years. Simpsons in Edgbaston is that restaurant. An extraordinary restaurant, a phenom that has set the bar for fine dining restaurants in our city. Executive chef Luke Tipping has witnessed all 20 of those years at the top and his ethos & philosophies on quality seasonal ingredient-led food and on building, training & nurturing a team of chefs is a major contribution to Simpsons success. We were very lucky to chat with Luke & hear more about his career & his leadership at such a high level..

Professor Of Culinary Arts Luke Tipping

Since starting this podcast nearly two years ago, one name has come up continuously, Luke Tipping. Nearly every chef or restaurateur we have spoken to claims to owe their position to the influence, training, or mentoring given to them by Luke.

Glyn Purnell, Andy Waters, Adam Bennett, Matt Cheal, Nathan Eades & masterchef the pros winner Stu Deeley are just some of the names who flourished at Simpsons under the guidance of Luke Tipping. This gives an indication to the level of training & leadership Luke inspires in young chefs. So much so that in 2010 Luke was awarded a professorship of culinary arts by University College Birmingham
