Born in London to a Filipino mother and an English father who was a chef, food was always close to Sean's heart.

"Filipinos are naturally hospitable, I think that is where my passion for the hospitality industry came from. I have always admired top chefs with a kind nature and after spending a day with Chef Masaki - I knew Dinings SW3 was the place for me.

Japanese cuisine was always high on my list to learn more about and I have found the perfect mentor in Masaki at Dinings SW3."
