Tom Kerridge worked as a chef in restaurants across Britain before deciding to set out on his own, and take over a rundown pub in the quiet town of Marlow. He opened The Hand & Flowers with his wife Beth in 2005, and it went on to become the first pub in the world to acquire two Michelin stars. In 2014 he opened The Coach, his second pub in Marlow, and hosted a Coach pop-up restaurant in Harrods, London's iconic department store, in November 2015. As well as hosting his own BBC television series, Tom has recently been at the helm of the BBC's Food & Drink and Spring Kitchen series, and appears regularly on major broadcasts such as Saturday Kitchen, Great British Menu and MasterChef. He will host Bake Off: Crème de la Crème on the BBC in Spring 2016 and another BBC series in Summer 2016. He was recently named Observer Food Monthly's Best Food Personality, 2015.
