Influenced by British and French cuisine and inspired by a life lived in Pembrokeshire, Thomas is the culinary vision of chef Tom Simmons. Born and bred in Wales, Tom's respect and passion for nature, produce and cooking has been a major part of his life from a young age. His earliest memories are of roaming farmers' markets in Pembrokeshire, foraging in the West Wales countryside, and harvesting his mothers' vegetable garden. This love and respect for homegrown Welsh ingredients is the foundation of Tom's cooking and his inspiration behind Thomas, Pontcanna.
