Biography[edit]

Roux Scholarship[edit]

In 1989 Martin Hadden won a scholarship to be trained with the french chef Michel Roux when he was aged just 19[2].

He was the 6th person to win the scholarship since it was started in 1984, and he was one of the youngest chefs to win the scholarship.

Michelin Star[edit]

In 2001 Martin Hadden won a Michelin Star for his Stoke-Sub-Hamdon (Somerset) restaurant, The Priory House.

Ironically, he had just bought the restaurant with the intention of winning a Star when he learnt that he had won a Michelin star for Ockenden Manor, where he had been the head chef.[3]

Food Experimentation[edit]

In June 2009 Martin Hadden and the Head Chef of The Bailiffscourt Hotel, Russell Williams decided to try to cure their own parma-style hams by hanging them in the trees on the grounds of the Bailiffscourt Hotel in Climping with varied success[4].

Currently the hams are not for public consumption, but the experimentation continues[5].
