Karl Quirante rustles up British pub classics at Cricketers in Ormskirk with an Asian twist - inspired by his Filipino roots
A former kitchen porter has been dubbed one of the UK's best pub chefs - despite previously having "no passion" for cooking.
Karl landed his first job working as porter in a hotel and being in the kitchen piqued his interest in food. After joining the Cricketers in 2019, he spent the next three-and-a-half years absorbing knowledge and working his way up from chef de partie. "Before I became head chef, I knew some stuff sold well but at the same time I wanted to put my own inspiration on it from the Philippines. There's lots of Filipino roots in my food and one of my favourites is a twist on a Pork Adobo.When it comes to the classics, Karl says the key to a good pub lunch is not following the grain.
