Gareth Henry

I started in this wonderful world of food back in New Zealand, 1998 studying at the local college.

Part of the college training was work placement, where I was placed in a small hotel in Queenstown, NZ.

Nervous at first, as it had the best restaurant in town. This soon wore off as I was so inspired by the other chefs working along side me, plus that I didn't have time to think of anything else. They thrived off teaching me their skills and tricks which they had learned in kitchens back in London, Europe and Australia. I paid them back by following their instructions, doing it right and absorbing the next lesson they taught me. 

​

This has been my strategy for many years now, taking information, methods and ideas from all the chefs in the kitchen and putting it all together and into practice.

​

After moving to London in 2002 I have been a working as a professional Pastry Chef and since then I have worked in many high quality, exclusive hotels, private clubs and restaurants since then.

​

Now I am the one giving the lessons and 

I can now understand the simple pleasures of passing on my knowledge to a keen Commis and watching them grow, develop and have fun while doing it.

​

In my roles as Head Pastry Chef, I thrive on the creative problem solving and coming up with cost effective and innovative ideas, menus and dishes for those I work with.
