Winner of ITV's Hell's Kitchen
Terry Miller came to prominence when, as part of the team guided by Gary Rhodes, he won ITV’S Hells Kitchen in 2005. He is a larger than life Chef whose character is firmly embedded in his Newcastle roots. As a result of his victory on the popular reality show, Terry has become a much sought after personality for live cooking demonstrations in his native north east but his talents are crying out for national recognition.
As the fourth of six brothers Terry came into the world in 1958 Newcastle and has lived in his beloved city ever since. Life was never easy for the young Terry but he battled against the odds to become a gourmet chef and opened his ‘Rockafella’ restaurant in the shadow of Newcastle upon Tyne’s St. Nicholas Cathedral through the £250,000 first prize on Hells Kitchen.
Over the two years since his ITV appearance he has appeared on Good Food Live, GMTV, Through the Keyhole with his hero, Sir David Frost and recently presented the highly successful ‘A Bite of History’ series on the ITV regional channel Tyne Tees.
‘A Bite of History’
Over the four programme run he researched, cooked and presented food allied to the north east of England during the Roman, Viking/Anglo Saxon, Georgian and last generation periods of the area. Terry particularly enjoyed taking the unusual dishes out into the street to test on the general public and getting its reaction to food they would not normally experience.
Restaurant
Terry’s gourmet restaurant ‘Rockafella’ in his home city of Newcastle upon Tyne is typically English in its menu, reinforcing Terry’s passion for UK recipes and his fierce support of British dishes and home grown food is something he constantly advocates wherever he appears.
Rockafella’s has eighty covers and is delightfully situated in the shadow of St. Nicholas cathedral and adjacent to Newcastle’s castle. The fabric, appointments and utensils have been sourced worldwide to give the eatery a truly cosmopolitan feel with an unmistakable relaxing quality.
