Mitton: Kirk and Nigel Haworth to cook together at The Three Fishes

A Blackburn-born chef, Kirk Haworth, will join his father and Michelin-starred chef, Nigel Haworth, to cook up a storm at The Three Fishes in Mitton later this month.

The six-course set menu will fuse Kirk’s passion for pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with plants and Nigel’s signature ‘food with roots’ style, embracing the farm-to-fork nature of the Mitton restaurant.

Kirk, who is chef co-founder of London restaurant Plates, is making a name for himself in the world of plant-based cookery.

His career kick-started after winning ‘North West Young Chef of the Year’ aged 17.

He went on to work under the world's top chefs at The French Laundry, Restaurant Sat Bains, The Square, Quay and alongside Nigel at Northcote in Langho.

Kirk said: “I am super excited to come back home and cook with my father, to share my passion for plants and use the bounty of organic produce from The Three Fishes garden will be a great honour.”

Nigel, who is the chef patron of the Three Fishes, said: “Cooking with my son is always special and it is great to see him doing what he does so brilliantly.

“When Kirk joins us at The Three Fishes later this month, we will be on the cusp of spring and the menu will be a balanced representation of the best locally grown and foraged ingredients – plant-based meets farm to fork. I can’t wait.”

Nigel Haworth returned to The Three Fishes as as chef patron in 2021 after having originally launched the restaurant in 2004.

His aim was to create a ‘farm to fork’ culinary experience and has ambitious plans of making it the best pub in the country.

Kirk and Nigel will be cooking on Thursday, March 30. Tables are limited and can be booked by calling 01254 826 666 or visiting The Three Fishes website.
