A north Norfolk chef is in the running to be named the best in the industry.

Galton Blackiston, owner and chef patron of Morston Hall in Holt, has been shortlisted for the Chefs' Chef prize at the AA Hospitality Awards 2022.

The awards recognise the best chefs in the UK as chosen by their peers. The winner will be crowned at a ceremony in London in September hosted by Gaby Logan.
