We are more than stoked to anounce that we will be joined this year by chef BUDGIE MONTOYA who is without doubt very much at the forefront of the UK’s Filipino dining scene.

Ferdinand ‘Budgie’ Montoya worked in IT prior to 2012 when, new in London, he decided to throw himself into his love of cooking. ‘I’m Filipino but I grew up in Sydney. I live in London. I’m a citizen of the world.’ For someone who decided to become a chef later in life than many, it’s impressive how much Budgie has already achieved and he’s now without doubt very much at the forefront of the UK’s Filipino dining scene.
