Published: 12:00am, 1st July 2010 Tasteful move for adventurous Mike

Mike Haw is a man with a taste for adventure, but now he has opted for taste of a different kind.

In the last few years he has roamed the world, working in restaurants, shooting lodges and chalets from Australia to the US, and the French Alps to the Scottish Highlands.
He has even found time to take his yachtmaster qualifications and become a qualified pilot.
But now he is back home in Sheffield, lured by the prospect of running one of the city's most stylish restaurants.
Mike is the new manager of the Wig & Pen pub and restaurant in Campo Lane. He has been appointed by owners Malcolm Schooling and Craig Smith, who also own Platillos in Leopold Square.
Says Malcolm: "Mike's a well-travelled man who's brought back to Sheffield a wealth of experience.
"For the majority of his career he has run luxury ski chalets. His last venture was the Chalet du Cret, Val D'Isere's premier chalet, catering for the rich and famous in absolute luxury.
"Attention to detail and delivering high standards to exacting guests is part of what Mike does naturally. His experiences have also given him a great love of quality food and fine wines."
Completing the new team at the Wig & Pen is head chef Nick Booth, a Glaswegian who has moved over from Platillos.
They have already launched new modern British menus and are aiming to establish the Wig & Pen as the city's leading 'best of British' pub - while also promoting it as a party and wedding venue.
Features will include a monthly wine and food nights; the next is planned for July 14.
