Aiden Byrne

Local lad Aiden is the Head Chef/Proprietor of The Church Green in Lymm  and The British Grill in Ledsham , near Chester.

Rising star Aiden Byrne was head chef at The Grill at The London Dorchester from late 2006. He was previously Tom Aiken’s head chef at his Chelsea restaurant and has worked with several other high-profile chefs such as Paul Rankin and David Adlard.

Aiden has made numerous TV appearances, including  Masterchef and The Great British Menu. In addition to Tom Aiken’s eponymous restaurant, Aiden has worked at Pied à Terre in London, Adlard’s in Norwich, Peacock Alley and the Commons in Dublin, and Danesfield House in Buckinghamshire.

At the age of 22, Aiden Byrne became the youngest chef ever to win a Michelin Star. Aiden’s main priority is keep The Church Green and The British Grill food standards the highest level possible. The food is British, but “simpler” than the Dorchester fare. He intends to keep running the restaurants and aims to keep the focus on quality locally-sourced, seasonal produce.

Aiden returns to the festival for the second year and you can also visit him on his stall for The British Grill in Sefton Park.
