Current place of work, position and a brief overview of where you have worked before.
I am currently head chef at BNY Mellon which is an investments bank. I look after the private dining rooms in the bank. After working in some smaller restaurants in my home town of St Albans, I moved into London to work at Galvin at Windows with Andre Garrett. I then moved on to Roux at Parliament square with Steve Groves. After Roux at Parliament square I went on to L’Autre Pied, I then went back to work with Joo Won at Galvin at Windows.
What is your cooking style and what can people expect from the food on your menu?
I would say it’s modern with influences from around the world. People could expect something exciting, fun and different.
