required to take on the leadership of one of London’s most prestigious dining rooms.
The Ritz as a training ground
The Ritz London, which holds two Michelin stars, is known for blending tradition with modern precision.
Few kitchens in the UK carry the same aura as The Ritz. The hotel’s dining room has long been associated with impeccable service, technical mastery and a commitment to sourcing the very best seasonal produce. Chefs who earn their stripes at the hotel often move on to senior positions elsewhere in the industry, a pattern that has reinforced The Ritz’s reputation as a hub of talent.
With his promotion, Deepak joins a select group of chefs to have led the kitchen in recent years, taking responsibility for everything from menu development and supplier relationships to the training of the next generation of apprentices.
Next chapter at The Ritz
As head chef, Deepak will be tasked with balancing heritage and innovation. Guests expect both the classical dishes that have long defined the Ritz experience and seasonal creativity that keeps menus evolving. The role also places him at the centre of a large brigade, where leadership, mentoring and consistency are as important as individual skill.
For Deepak, the appointment marks the realisation of a long-held ambition and the beginning of a new challenge at one of the country’s most iconic kitchens.
