Born and raised in the North East of England, Kenny Atkinson is a prolific figure in the British culinary scene. This spirited Geordie clearly had the flair for cooking in his genes, as he began his journey in professional cookery at Newcastle College, where he obtained an NVQ in catering. Since those humble days, Atkinson's culinary prowess has seen him cook in various parts of Europe and the United States; yet, it's his unwavering adoration for his native land's cuisine that has pronounced his laurels in the culinary world. He has indeed hoisted the North East cuisine onto the national stage, winning a Michelin star at two different Newcastle establishments. Throughout his impressive career, Atkinson has been at the helm of a number of high-end restaurants. Foremost among these is House of Tides, a unique, casual fine-dining experience located in the heart of Newcastle Upon Tyne. With this venture, Atkinson has not only provided a national platform to the North East's culinary heritage but also earned it a well-deserved Michelin star. Beyond the restaurant scene, the renowned chef has made a name for himself on television as well; he has graced the sets of the BBC's flagship cookery programme, 'Saturday Kitchen', and put his culinary mastery to the test on the fiercely competitive 'Great British Menu', where he has earned the honour of being a three-time winner. Kenny Atkinson truly is a beacon of North East fine dining and a testament to the UK's diverse culinary landscape.
