Victor Yu’s career started as a KP for his father Charlie Yu in 1989, before moving to front of house then starting in the kitchen as a chef at the age of 22. Combined with the skills learnt from his father, collaborations with other well-known chefs, and travels across Asia, Victor honed and refined his style, becoming head chef at 28.

After opening Yu & You in Horwich in 1989, the Yu’s opened the doors to the award-winning Copster Green in 2004. Winning ‘Best Chinese Restaurant’ in the UK by Gordon Ramsey, the restaurant quickly earned a sterling reputation which has only grown in momentum over the past decade.
