About Tom

Tom is an aspiring polymath, wordsmith, cricketer and skier. Hailing originally from North Yorkshire, he has lived in London on and off since 2006. He was inspired to start Gastrolad after returning at a loose end from a season skiing in the French Alps. Since then his writing has been described as "very enjoyable" on at least three separate occasions. As well as on the blog, you will find Tom's writing in The Spectator, Delicious Magazine, Fall Line Magazine, Fire & Knives, Shortlist.com, The Arbuturian and Foodepedia. When he's not writing you will find Tom either chained to a desk staring at spreadsheets or planning his next ski trip.
