Casa’s executive chef Joel Breakwell has been named among 30 'outstanding' key players in hospitality under the age of 30. The individuals who made it onto The Caterer Acorn Awards 2023's 30 Under 30 List work in all corners of the UK industry.
Joel has worked across Peter Sanchez-Iglesias's Redcliffe restaurants - Michelin-starred Paco Tapas and Casa - since 2018, joining the team as commis chef and becoming head chef at Paco Tapas just a year later. When Peter closed Casamia in 2022, Joel was named executive chef of Casa, the new Italian restaurant launched in its place. He now oversees the kitchens at both restaurants.
The annual awards hosted by The Caterer seek to highlight and celebrate the achievements of 30 outstanding individuals, with each winner nominated by their peers for their exceptional ability in their field. The awards, in their 37th year, were presented by the publication's editor James Stagg and CH&Co chief operating officer Allister Richards.
