Andy Appleton

Andy Appleton has been a big part of the Fifteen family for many years now; originally a Senior Sous chef at Fifteen London, he was part of the team that launched the Fifteen concept back in 2002.

Andy loves everything about Italian food and went on to become Head Chef at the Italian-style Tabernacle Bar and Grill in Shoreditch, London before moving to Fifteen Cornwall in 2007. He’s been Head Chef here since March 2010.

For Andy, Italian food is about more than the recipes – it’s a whole attitude and lifestyle that makes great food the focus of every day. It’s about sourcing the best seasonal ingredients at their peak, and letting them do the talking without unnecessary clutter and complexities. Taking rustic, Italian dishes and adding a contemporary Fifteen Cornwall twist, Andy creates unique menus that bring the best of Italy and Cornwall together on a plate.
