Dan is originally from a small market town in Northumberland and moved to North Yorkshire with his wife in 2013, having spent 5 years living and working in central London, they relocated to the beautiful market town of Malton, where Dan is blessed with a fantastic foodie community and many local producers and suppliers.

In 2017 following a successful 3-year career as head chef at the Talbot hotel in Malton, North Yorkshire, Dan decided to embark on a new venture and set up his own business ‘At the Dinner Party’ by Dan Graham, which brings the experience of a restaurant to your home or chosen venue. Meaning no worrying about taxi’s or designated drivers, or the need to spend 100’s on a hotel room for the night, whilst still getting the experience you were looking for.

Some of Dan’s other career highlights include being a chef tutor at the fantastic York Cookery School, he’s also a judge for the deliciouslyorkshire taste awards, and a regular on the food festival circuit having the chance to demo his food for the public.

In 2017 Dan reached the semi-final of the National Chef of the Year competition fighting off competition from some of the UK’s best chefs. In 2018 & 2019 Dan was a finalist in the Kikkoman Masters held at the restaurant show in London in front of a live audience.
