About Frederick
Frederick trained at Westminster College where he achieved 1st  place and became a Roux scholar – the highest accolade a chef could attain. He then went on and trained under the famous Pierre Gagnaire in Paris before going on to work in a number of Michelin restaurants such as Le Gavroche and Raymond Blanc’s Manoir aux Quat’ Saisons.  He also held hotel posts as Head Chef in the Ritz Hotel London, Sandy Lane Hotel Barbados and Le Royal Mirage Hotel Dubai.
 
Perhaps Frederick's greatest achievement to date came in the National Chef of the Year competition in October 2011 where Frederick saw off the Nation's finest culinary talents to claim the prize of National Chef of the Year (Click here to see a video of the competition)  Frederick won over the judges after a two-hour cook-off at the final stage of the competition, held at the Restaurant Show in Earl's Court. His winning dishes included sauté scallops with crab "Beignet" and roasted breast of duck with braised thigh flavoured with smoked bacon.
We are so very proud to have Frederick take the Helm in our kitchen from August 2011.  He promises to continually bring to the table his sensational flair, style and passion for good food and excellent presentation.
 
He takes pleasure in inviting you to share his passion brought to you through his amazing selection of specials.
 
“My reputation is as good as the last plate to leave my kitchen”
