A Belfast chef has described the hard work, dedication and sacrifices it takes to work in some of the UK and Ireland's top restaurants.
When Niall Duffy started working in the kitchen of Newcastle's Burrendale Hotel he never imagined that in a few years he would be working in Michelin star restaurants, but after quickly developing a passion for the trade he was determined to keep pushing his boundaries to establish himself within the industry.
This has seen him go onto work in highly respected restaurants such as The Merchant Hotel, Restaurant Patrick Guilbaud - Dublin's first restaurant with two Michelin stars - The Ritz Hotel and the three Michelin star Restaurant Gordon Ramsay in London.
