Sunday Supper Club – Lisa Goodwin-Allen

Sample menu only, view current menus.

Executive Chef of Michelin Star Restaurant Northcote and Director of The Game Bird and American Bar at The Stafford London, Lisa Goodwin-Allen is one of the most innovative and exciting chefs in the UK today.

After graduating from Lancaster & Morecambe College, Lisa worked in several prestigious restaurants, including the two Michelin-starred Le Champignon Sauvage in Gloucester, before arriving at Northcote at the age of 20. At the age of 23, Lisa was named head chef – one of the youngest chefs to take on the role in a Michelin-starred kitchen at the time. Since then she has helped to maintain the restaurant’s Michelin Star, which it has held for over 20 years.

Northcote’s ethos to use local suppliers is particularly close to Lisa’s heart. She believes there are many unsung heroes and new generations developing new products that she likes to discover and work with, and she is passionate about using seasonal and locally sourced ingredients to incorporate her Lancashire roots into her creative dishes. Lisa lives and breathes food; it is this passion that means she is always looking for interesting ingredients and techniques, and experimenting to create dishes where the ingredients and their flavour shine through.
