Occupation Chef + Restaurateur

Brad Carter is the raver chef from Birmingham, UK, who worked his way up from kitchen porter to award-winning restaurateur opening ‘Carters of Moseley’ with his partner Holly Carter in 2010, just a few miles from where he was born.

Recognition for celebrating British produce soon came from the top when they won Good Food Guide Readers’ Restaurant of the Year in 2013 and then were awarded a coveted Michelin Star in September 2015 plus many more awards since.

The overall philosophy of Carters is to be a true expression of British terroir within the moment, where menus evolve on a daily basis and are developed by following the natural rhythms of the season, led by the ingredients available to him and inspired by the producers who work the British landscape. He aims to limit waste with a strong nose to tail dining ethos.

Brad also created a brand called One Star Döner Bar, high end Berlin style kebabs using the same ingredients he uses at the Michelin starred restaurant in a more accessible form. A nod to his party lifestyle.

Brad now remains a regular personality on television featuring on popular shows like Saturday Kitchen Live on BBC One as well as live demonstrations in front of eager crowds at national expositions such as The Good Food Show, and of course he's a regular in the Gozney Kitchen.
