A Blackburn plant-based chef is walking in his father’s footsteps as he could make his way to the final stages of the Great British Menu as he prepares to go head-to-head in the North West final this evening. Kirk Haworth, son of Lancashire renowned chef Nigel Haworth, will be competing in a head-to-head against Liverpudlian Dan McGeorge who beat the competition to end up as the final two chefs in the regional final.

He moved on to other top restaurants across the country before opening his own plant-based restaurant called Plates in London with his sister Keeley.
