Docherty moved to Hong Kong in 2018, where he quickly gained attention for his cooking at the former Gough’s on Gough. He joined as Executive Sous Chef at Island Shangri-La in 2020, then was appointed Executive Chef at Salisterra at The Upper House, before returning to Island Shangri-La to steer the Lobster Bar and Grill through its next chapter.
