Graham Garrett is a chef who has written his own story with food. A true original who has kept his nerve, passion, and sense of duty, resulting in an award-winning career spanning more than 30 years.

Long before seasonality became a buzzword, Graham was sourcing only the best ingredients and letting them shine.  Honest, skilful and simple, you can taste Graham’s innate cleverness with flavour in every morsel. 

Never standing still, he reinvents and creates new dishes every week, changing the consistently good menu with the most incredible produce he can lay his hands on.

Graham wasn’t always a chef but has always been a star. Starting as a successful drummer with bands such as Dumb Blondes and YA YA  in the eighties, Graham swapped sticks for chef knives at the age of 31.

He climbed quickly through the culinary ranks working with the likes of Nico Landis and Richard Corrigan. This period also included cooking for the Queen, Hollywood royalty and at 10 Downing Street. 

Since opening The West House in 2002, Graham and his family have created their own dining room style allowing Graham to pursue his culinary visi, resulting in multiple awards and features in all the major guides.

Graham’s reputation has afforded him many media opportunities, including prestigious television shows such as Great British Menu, Ramsay’s Best Restaurant and regular appearances on James Martin’s Saturday Morning.

He is also the author of the acclaimed autobiographical cookbook, ‘Sex & Drugs & Sausage Rolls’ (Face Publications).
