Guy Owen

The Idle Rocks in St Mawes

Guy was born in Hampshire and developed his culinary expertise with some of London’s leading chefs, including Gordon Ramsay at his Michelin starred restaurant at Claridge’s, Jerome Tauvron at L’Etranger and James Bennington and Bruce Poole at Michelin starred La Trompette.

Guy moved to South East Cornwall at the age of eight and throughout his school years began helping in the kitchens of local restaurants after lessons and at weekends. More recently, having returned to the West Country in 2009, Guy worked at leading hotels Gidleigh Park under Michael Caines MBE, and the Driftwood Hotel under Chris Eden.

Guy was integral to The Idle Rocks winning 2018 Seafood Restaurant of the Year by The Caterer. Now after recently returning to The Idle Rocks in St Mawes, we are excited to see what is to come in 2026.

Guy is passionate about preparing authentic and inspiring dishes, conceived from sustainable, locally grown ingredients.
