Bio

Mike Robinson is an English chef and restaurateur best known as the subject of a series of food reality shows documenting his purchase, opening and running of the Berkshire gastro-pub Pot Kiln, from 2005-2006.

Robinson discovered his passion for homely French cuisine when mountain-climbing in the French Alps as a student. Now he regularly brings his simple, rustic-style of cooking to the screen with his own programmes.

Mike was first spotted while cheffing in Chamonix in 2002, where he was chosen to present UKTV Food's Chalet Slaves. The series focuses on Savoyard specialities enjoyed by seasonal chalet workers in Chamonix.

He then went on to appear in Safari Chef, where he travelled around Africa seeking the best of the continent's cooking.

Since then, Mike has also appeared on BBC 2's Saturday Kitchen, as well as BBC 1's Ready Steady Cook.

Retaining a passion for food both on and off-screen, in spring 2004, he set up Mike Robinson Wild Foods, supplying crayfish to many of London's restaurants and hotels. This company is a real family affair, run by Mike, his wife, his cousin and his parents.

More recently Mike's TV appearances on UKTV - Heaven's Kitchen and Heaven's Garden have centred around the highs and lows of setting up Berkshire pub, The Pot Kiln.

Mike bought this pub early in 2005. It was his local family boozer, where he enjoyed his first ever pint. Now, it's a gastro-pub serving up game and other locally-sourced country fare.
