All this week we are celebrating the chefs who are taking part in the The Great Hampshire Menu at the Harbour Hotel Southampton on the 6th of November.

Today we are talking about Matthew Tomkinson, the executive chef of The Jetty, Ocean Village. Now, you may say that Matt has a home advantage, but he is cooking the main course, which is arguably the trickiest of the 4 courses!

While working as junior sous at the Michelin-starred Ockenden Manor in rural West Sussex, Matthew won the coveted Roux Scholarship. For his stage, he worked at Michel Guérard’s three-star Les Prés d’Eugénie in the south-west of France. After this he moved to a head chef’s position at The Goose in Britwell Salome, near Oxford. It was here that he won his first Michelin star in 2008.

Matthew went on to oversee two restaurants at The Montagu Arms country house hotel in the heart of England’s New Forest national park. He held a Michelin star at the hotel’s fine dining restaurant for seven consecutive years and was named Hampshire Chef of the Year in recognition of this achievement in 2014.

He then moved to the Isle of Wight where he was the executive chef for the Hambrough Group and The Terrace. He has now returned to the mainland and his the new Executive chef at The Jetty, Southampton Harbour Hotel.

Matt's lamb main course will be paired with the B58 Red from B58Winery part of The New Forest Fruit Co Ltd. This is a blend of Shiraz, Merlot and Cab Franc.
