The Beginning

The Now

Born and raised in the British countryside, Chef Michael’s passion for food and love of cooking truly began at 13 when he started washing up at his local village pub –one of the oldest in the UK. For the next 20 years, Michael worked through the ranks of some of the most renowned kitchens in the UK, including Michelin-starred restaurants, luxury 5-star hotels, airlines, and iconic institutions like Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle. 

Moreish is a British restaurant serving breakfast, lunch, and afternoon tea. Chef Michael and his wife, Shey, embarked on a mission to bring a taste of Britain to the Hudson Valley, offering classic, authentically homemade British cooking.

At Moreish, quality and tradition are at the heart of every dish. Ingredients are carefully sourced, and recipes are crafted with care to bring a genuine taste of Britain to the community. Whether you’re craving comfort food or celebrating a special occasion, Moreish invites you to savor the flavors of the UK, right in the heart of the Hudson Valley.
