Dean Eccles has worked in kitchens around the world: he's the former head chef at Gary Rhodes' restaurant in Edinburgh and has even worked on Richard Branson's private Necker Island in the Caribbean. However, his wife Sarah brought him to the North East two decades ago, and he's been here ever since.
