Jason Shaw
Professional Chef & Restauranter
Jason cut his teeth in the kitchens of the acclaimed Trust House Forte Hotel in the north Leeds suburb of Bramhope in the mid-1980s and his career has seen him work alongside some of the biggest names in the business, including the likes of Marco Pierre White, Gordon Ramsey and Raymond Blanc.
Along the way, his cooking has graced the restaurants of some of north Yorkshire’s finest restaurants, including Monkman’s Wine Bar & Bistrot and Tubby Wadlows where he was Chef Patron.
In the late 1990s, Jason moved into food development with Marks & Spencer before venturing into restaurant consulting, helping form the dishes, policies and procedures of groups such as Piccolino, Restaurant Bar & Grill, Bank and Zinc.
More lately, Jason has invested much of his time learning about autism and giving back. His work with SEN young adults at the renowned Lighthouse School has taught him the simplicity of instruction, Lego-style pictorial guidance, clarity of vocabulary and interesting ways to engage with foods.
