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. Kirk, the first plant-based chef on the programme, began his career working with his father at Michelin-starred restaurant Northcote in Langho. 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.
