Hi, I’m Nathan Scott-Devonport, a self-taught chef with an NVQ in Professional Cookery from Bispham College and more than fourteen years’ experience working across the food industry. For the last decade, I’ve lived and breathed street food — the energy, the creativity, the graft, and the constant evolution that comes with feeding people unforgettable food from the kerbside.

I’ve cooked in all sorts of environments, from traditional restaurants to high-pressure pop-ups, taking on every role, every station, and every challenge that’s come my way. I’ve owned two food businesses and now run THE Hot Mess on Newton Drive in Blackpool, where bold flavours, high standards, and organised chaos meet every single day.
