Marcus Wareing

One of the brightest stars in the British food world, Marcus Wareing has a modern take on classic French cuisine that has won him international acclaim. After nine years as Chef-Patron of Pétrus, he now runs the restaurant as Marcus Wareing at The Berkeley and has two Michelin stars. Marcus’s first job was at the Savoy Hotel, where he worked for three years before moving on to Le Gavroche. In 1993 he became sous-chef at Gordon Ramsay’s new restaurant, Aubergine, and in 1995 he spent six months working at the renowned Restaurant Guy Savoy in Paris. Marcus returned to London in 1996 to open L’Oranger with Gordon Ramsay and swiftly gained a Michelin star. In 1999 Ramsay backed Marcus to open Pétrus at its original site in St James and within a year they had a Michelin star. Pétrus moved to The Berkeley in 2003, the same year that Marcus relaunched The Savoy Grill with Gordon Ramsay Holdings and gained a Michelin star in less than 12 months. Marcus gained a second Michelin star at Pétrus in 2007 and in 2008 made the restaurant his own.
