Award Winning Restaurants by Simon Rimmer

Simon Rimmer, born in the heart of the English north in Wallasey, Merseyside, stands as a cherished star within the framework of modern British culinary arts. He had a humble beginning, working as a freelance fashion and textile designer that served as his first foray into the world of colour, contrast, and creativity. Despite his lack of formal culinary education, Rimmer's passion for food thrust him into unchartered territory, setting him on his route to culinary fame and fortune. Rimmer cracked open the doors to his first restaurant, 'Greens', in 1990. Nestled in the trendy suburb of West Didsbury, Manchester, this fully vegetarian haunt has become enshrined as a paragon of inventive meat-free dishes, defying norms and setting standards. Many more establishments have come under Rimmer's deft hand, including the gastropub 'Earle' in Cheshire, showcasing his vast and impressive range. A true man of the screen, Rimmer boasts a glittering television career, with appearances on the BBC's 'Something for the Weekend', and Channel 4's 'Sunday Brunch' making him a beloved household name. Perhaps most notably was his twirl on the dance floor in the august arena of 'Strictly Come Dancing', which shed an illuminating light on the chef's charm and versatility. Indeed, many a critic has lauded Rimmer for forging a path that seamlessly blends the realms of fine cuisine and popular culture.
