A bit about Nathan…

As his name suggests, Nathan Outlaw’s reputation is anything but ordinary. His career began early, working alongside his father, a chef, before gaining experience in London’s prestigious five-star hotel restaurants. However, it was by the sea that Nathan truly found his forte. Working under Rick Stein in Padstow, Nathan honed his skills and developed a deep appreciation for coastal cuisine. He quickly moved through a series of coastal restaurants, earning his first Michelin star at the age of 25 for The Black Pig.

In 2006, Nathan opened Restaurant Nathan Outlaw, which achieved remarkable success, earning two Michelin stars, four AA rosettes, and a rare 10/10 from the Good Food Guide. The restaurant was also named the UK’s number one restaurant in 2018. Nathan’s latest venture, Outlaw’s New Road, is a homage to the glorious Cornish coast and was awarded a Michelin star in 2021. Additionally, he owns the Michelin-starred Fish Kitchen in Port Isaac, which further showcases his culinary excellence. Passionate about sustainability and local produce, Nathan Outlaw is dedicated to sourcing the finest ingredients from local suppliers, ensuring that his dishes are not only delicious but also environmentally responsible. His innovative approach to seafood has solidified his status as one of the UK’s most esteemed chefs.

Outlaw’s Fish Kitchen* is the TV chef’s award-winning Cornwall restaurant, focused on fresh and original seafood plates. It forms part of the Outlaw brand alongside Outlaw’s New Road and Outlaw’s Guest House – all based in Port Isaac.
