Proprietor, Nathan Outlaw Restaurants Ltd, Cornwall
Nathan Outlaw
Born in Maidstone, Kent in 1978, Nathan grew up with his
parents and younger brother. Familiar with professional
kitchens from a young age, Nathan started his career at the
age of 14 working for his father, also a chef, in an industrial
catering kitchen. He attended Thanet Catering College in
Broadstairs and moved to London to gain more experience in
five-star hotel kitchens, also working for renowned chefs Gary
Rhodes and Eric Chavot. When he was 20 Nathan moved to
Cornwall, and his passion for seafood was ignited when he
began working with Rick Stein at his famous The Seafood
Restaurant in Padstow. It was at Rick Stein's that Nathan met
his future wife Rachel, who worked front of house. Deciding he
wanted to move into fine dining, Nathan went on to work at
the two Michelin starred restaurant, Lords of the Manor, with
head chef John Campbell. Here he learned the attention to
detail required to gain Michelin stars, and the business side of
running an award-winning restaurant. Nathan took over his first
restaurant in 2003 just prior to the birth of his first child - he
and Rachel have two children together, Jacob and Jessica.
Awarded UK’s Best Restaurant in The Waitrose Good Food
Guide 2018, Restaurant Nathan Outlaw, situated at the top of
Port Isaac, boasts views of the rugged Cornish coastline.
Meanwhile, Outlaw’s Fish Kitchen is located within a 15th
Century fisherman’s cottage overlooking the harbour at the
bottom of Port Isaac and The Mariners Public House, jointly
run by Nathan and Sharp’s Brewery, overlooks the Camel
Estuary in nearby Rock.
