Josh completes an already impressive line-up; he runs Michelin-starred The Pony and Trap in Chew Magna with his sister Holly. In 2003 Josh had triumphed in the Gordon Ramsay College Scholar competition, confirming he was destined for a bright future in the industry.

Following this success, he moved to Bristol’s Harbourside restaurant, the Olive Shed where he was head chef for two years, before embarking on a journey working with some of the finest chefs and restaurants in the World including, Sicily’s il Mulinazzo, the New York institution, Chanterelle and 3 Michelin starred French Laundry of California.

This experience gave Josh the drive and skills needed to return to the UK and with the backing of his family, start his own personal venture which made him one of the youngest pub and restaurant proprietors in the country. Taking The Pony and Trap from strength to strength, Josh was awarded his first Michelin star in 2011, which made him one of the youngest chefs to hold this accolade.
