Troy has a passion for food and a keen interest in wine and spends a lot of his time researching culinary ideas, drawing inspiration from both classic and modern cooking methods. Troy’s menus change daily based on the freshest produce he can find, and he uses ethically-sourced, local and seasonal produce direct from nearby farms and markets. There is a strong focus on sustainability and the kitchen team specialises in preserving techniques such as curing, smoking, salting, brining and fermenting. Winning the Taste of the North East title at The North East Tourism Awards and achieving an AA Rosette have been recent highlights for Troy and the team at Dobson & Parnell.

Now, following his return to his hometown, he helps thousands across the region improve their cooking skills with his weekday and weekend classes, private parties and corporate events at the Cookery School located above Blackfriars Restaurant.
