CHEF IAN

A love of food is in Chef Ian’s blood as his mother also worked as a chef, inspiring him from a young age to also take up the profession.

Since deciding to be a chef 14 years ago he has worked in a number of London’s top restaurants like Arbutus (1 Michelin Star) and The Sanderson to name a few. His work has taken him as far as Qatar where he worked as a personal chef for a Sheikh and his family for over two years.

From Qatar to your dinner table! Chef Ian has a wealth of experience and looks forward to bringing all he’s learnt to your Chef’s Compliments dinner party.

We booked Chef’s Compliments to give a surprise lesson in BBQ techniques to my father whose previous idea was black on the outside and raw in the middle. Our chef did a wonderful job and entertained us for hours with some stories. Would certainly recomend Chef’s Compliments to others.
