Blackiston has never trained formally as a chef. After leaving school at 16 to play cricket, he was encouraged by his mother to set up a market stall selling homemade baked goods, "Galton's Goodies". His first job in a restaurant was at John Tovey's Miller Howe country hotel in Windermere, the Lake District.[1]
In 2013, Blackiston started No 1 Cromer, a fish and chip shop in Cromer.[1][2][3]
