Galton Blackiston is a Michelin Star Celebrity chef and owner of Morston Hall. He is ideaXme mentor for the rising stars in the world of Haute Cuisine.
In 1979, a typically cash-strapped 17-year-old high school student, Galton Blackiston, set up a stall at Rye market selling his own range of home-made cakes, biscuits and preserves. The range became known as ‘Galton’s Goodies’ and such was its success during that year that Galton abandoned plans to be a professional cricketer, deciding instead on a career as a chef.
Within two months of having made this decision, Galton had begun working in the Lake District at the renowned Miller Howe, finally working his way up to the position of Head Chef. With this also followed work experience stints in New York, Canada, South Africa and London.
Galton has held a Michelin Star for 18 years and become UK Craft Guild of Chefs ‘Chef of the year’, East Anglian Chef of the Year and a fellow of the craft guild of chefs.
Galton has appeared on Anglia Television, Gary Rhodes Food Hero’s, Market Kitchen, Great British Menu and is a regular on Saturday Kitchen with James Martin (BBC) where he’s always promoting seasonal and Norfolk produce. Galton will always tell people that there is “No finer area” than Norfolk.
