"Now I've got a place at the Ritz I hope to work my way up and get to the stage where I can create dishes.

"Designing recipes is something I've always liked doing in my spare time."

The former Lutterworth Grammar School pupil left school at 15 and worked at the Michelin-starred Hambleton Hall, near Rutland Water.
