Current Place Of Work/Position?

Executive Chef of The London Carrriage Works at the Hope Street Hotel

What is your cooking style and what should people expect from the food on your menu?

Few classics can be seen on our menus, but simple clean execution with flavour and seasonality at the forefront.

What is your favourite dish to cook and why?

Favourite dish always a difficult question to pin it but really enjoy pairing numerous cuts together utilising all the animal.

Name a food item/dish/ingredient that isn't considered "cheffy" but you love to eat?

My dirty food secret is a greasy doner kebab with a obscene amount of garlic mayonnaise pure filth.

What do you like about The Staff Canteen app and website?

I really enjoy using The Staff Canteen app keeping up to date with culinary news and enjoy seeing the dishes the members share.

What are you looking to get out of 2023?

My drive and passion for 2023 is gain better consistency in all the outlets and to drill down and hopefully achieve our 3rd rosette in our flagship restaurant The London carriage works.

If you want to feature in February's Instagram Top Ten, keep posting your great pictures on your TSC member's profile and using #thestaffcanteen on Instagram and we'll share the best!
