George Perry-Smith was an innovative chef and restaurateur, who opened the legendary Hole in the Wall restaurant in Bath, in 1952. He had no formal culinary training, but did have a natural talent for cooking. Taking inspiration from domestic cookery books, and with the support of Elizabeth David, he introduced into British restaurant culture menus that were radically different from the norm in the 1950s, in terms of both the nature of the food available and the range of dishes available on a single menu. Despite his influence on other cooks, he wrote not a single cookery book.
