The Seahorse

Mitch Tonks, voted Tatler's Restaurateur of the Year and labelled by the Independent as 'a fishmonger for the 21st century', is driven by an honest passion to enthuse, cook for and inspire others to enjoy seafood. His list of awards and recognitions is testament to his hard work and inspiration, and he is respected as a credible voice and enthusiastic supporter of the fishing industry. Mitch has published numerous seafood cookbooks, developed the Eat Fish iPhone app, created the South Devon Seafood Academy and last, but by no means least, co-founded one of the finest restaurants in the UK: The Seahorse. Television appearances include Saturday Kitchen, Market Kitchen, MasterChef, Great Food Live, Fish Food and Mitch and Matt's Big Fish. Mitch also demonstrates at various cookery schools and regional festivals throughout the year.

Mat Prowse is the brilliant chef and co-owner of The Seahorse. Mat was classically trained and has almost 30 years' of industry experience, including several Michelin starred kitchens. He was the Head chef at Bath's Queensberry Hotel and the Olive Tree Restaurant.

Together Mitch and Mat opened the FishWorks restaurants. They then left FishWorks to follow their dream of opening a small restaurant serving great seafood by the sea, and thus, in 2008, The Seahorse was born.
