ABOUT
In a world where cooking shows often feel polished, scripted, and impossibly pristine, Dishy Dads arrive as a refreshing, relatable alternative ,blending serious culinary expertise with humour, warmth, and the beautifully imperfect reality of family life.
Created by chefs Jay Geddes and Gary Morton-Jones, Dishy Dads is more than a cooking brand. It’s a celebration of food, fatherhood, friendship, and the everyday madness that comes with juggling professional kitchens and home life. With decades of combined hospitality experience, the duo deliver restaurant-level knowledge wrapped in an easygoing, down-to-earth style that resonates with audiences far beyond the food world.
Dishy Dads connects with people because it feels real. There are no intimidating techniques delivered with ego, no inaccessible ingredients, no unattainable perfection. Instead, Jay and Gary offer something far more engaging: honest cooking, genuine banter, and the kind of chemistry that only comes from years of friendship and shared experience.
Whether appearing live on stage, hosting cookery events at there cookery school in Winchester, delivering masterclasses, or creating digital content, Dishy Dads strike a rare balance professional yet playful, skilled yet approachable. Their performances are as much about entertainment as they are about education, turning cooking into something audiences don’t just watch, but enjoy.
At its core, Dishy Dads embodies a modern shift in food culture: expertise without pretension, lifestyle without artificial polish. It speaks to busy parents, food lovers, aspiring cooks, and anyone who believes great food should be joyful rather than intimidating.
With a growing presence across live events, media, and culinary experiences, Dishy Dads continue to build momentum as a brand that feels as comfortable in a festival crowd as it does in a family kitchen.
Because sometimes the best recipes aren’t just about ingredients, they’re about laughter, stories, and the occasional bit of chaos along the way.
Dishy Dads – Serious Food. No Seriousness Required.
