The Concept

The Chef
James started his career at the age of 12, working on Saturday mornings in an Italian restaurant in Newport, Wales. He spent his afternoons making bread and corned beef pasties with his Grandmother, to whom he is eternally grateful for inspiring his love and passion for cooking.
At the age of 16 James made the move to Scotland where he worked under the guidance of Richard Lythe, a chef who taught him the understanding of seasonality, quality and the essence of flavour.
After marrying his wife and becoming father to his first daughter, James and his young family decided to return to Wales. He became Head Chef of The Crown at Whitebrook after three years and obtained his first Michelin star in 2007, an achievement he is incredibly proud of.
In late April 2014 James opened his eponymously named restaurant on Penarth’s esplanade with his wife Louise. His contemporary cuisine is inspired by France but keenly British and extremely exciting. His flavour combinations are unusual but subtle and his presentation is stunning but approachable.
He and his family are incredibly excited to be joining us for their first family skiing trip this winter and we can’t wait for him to take over our chalet kitchen for the week!
