Field Notes Creative Studio was founded by chef Ivan Tisdall-Downes to bring together food, hospitality, sustainability, creativity and experience.
London born self taught chef Ivan fell in love with the unknown wonders of the British countryside and its emerging food scene. Having spent time working at River Cottage in Devon, Ivan has channelled the principles of sustainability into his gastronomic ethos, echoing the belief in the ethical & environmental benefits of eating game and ‘wild’ food. Ivan left the UK to work at Blue Hill Farm at Stone Barns in New York which further cemented his belief in providing a sustainable, successful and accessible restaurant whilst trying to be as self sufficient as possible.
Representing London and the South East on the BBC’s Great British Menu in 2020, Ivan championed the adventurous side of ‘wild food’ combined with the nostalgic dishes of his childhood, narrowly missing out on the finals.
For the last 10 years Ivan has founded and ran Native Restaurant, gaining praise and recognition from Michelin & the countries leading restaurant critics, including a
Michelin Green Star in 2025.
