How old is Tom Kerridge and how much weight did he lose?
TOM Kerridge is a chef known across the globe for his British, French and fusion dishes.
He’s now back on TV with his BBC show called Saving Britain’s pubs.
Who is Tom Kerridge?
Tom Kerridge was born in Salisbury, Wiltshire, on July 27, 1973.
He was originally a child actor but decided to attend culinary school at the age of 18.
He has since worked in several high-end restaurants, including the Michelin-starred Rhodes in the Square and Adlards.
As a chef, he has appeared on the Great British Menu, MasterChef and Saturday Kitchen.
How much weight did Tom Kerridge lose?
Tom lost an incredible 12 stone thanks to a healthier lifestyle.
He devised his own diet after realising he was obese when he weighed in at almost 30 stone.
Tom now weighs just under 18 stone and previously opened up about how ditching sugar was “absolutely horrible”.
In order to drop the pounds, the celeb chef cut down his carb intake and stopped drinking alcohol entirely.
He said: “In our business it becomes an obsession to party, play hard, drink hard, eat rubbish food.
“You start drinking after the last bill’s been paid and then it will go right through until two or three in the morning.
“It’s a release from the pressures of working hard. But there’s a point where you get fed up. You think, ‘I’ve got to make a change’.”
Where is Tom Kerridge’s pub The Hand and Flowers?
Tom and his wife opened gastropub The Hand & Flowers in 2005. Within the first year, he gained his first Michelin star.
In the 2012 Michelin guide, he won a second Michelin star – the first time a pub had done so.
The pub is located in Marlow, Buckinghamshire, and the address is: 126 West St, Marlow, SL7 2BP.
Tom said: “When we opened The Hand and Flowers in 2005, we wanted it to be exactly the kind of place where we would like to enjoy our days off. That meant a proper pub, but with proper food.
“A friendly, comfortable atmosphere, where everybody’s welcome. Bold, unpretentious cooking with brilliant, seasonal ingredients.
