Graham Campbell, one of the youngest chefs in Scotland to gain a Michelin star, started his career working part-time at the Caledonian Hotel in his hometown, Oban. He entered a cookery competition which left the head chef so impressed that he was offered a full time job. After progressing to commis chef and then sous chef, Graham headed south to Rochdale to work at celebrity chef Andrew Nutter’s restaurant.

And most of these have great roadside restaurants.
