Back in London, he cooked at The Greenhouse and The Woodford before spending seven years at Launceston Place. Along the way came stints at New York’s Per Se and Eleven Madison Park, and in 2022 he was named National Chef of the Year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eNow, in the bright, contemporary dining room of 74 Charlotte Street, all of that experience comes together in cooking that is technically precise but never feels stiff.
