Sam has a wide range of cooking experience from a 3* Michelin restaurant to busy restaurants and gastro pubs in the UK, France and the US. Food, wine and cocktail experiences in restaurants and bars across the world have been inspirational in opening Fourth and Church. Open for 8 years, Fourth and Church has gained attention through national newspaper reviews, winning awards locally and most importantly a strong local following. The restaurant and bar specialises in wine from small producers (over 800 lines) paired with deeply flavoured food. Sam and head chef Ben Erridge supplement traditional techniques using spice mixes, fermentation and preservation with the best of modernist cuisine inspired by traveling and working across the world
