Adam Gray

Adam Gray is the Head Chef of London's world-famous, Michelin starred restaurant, Rhodes Twenty Four. So far, 2008 is proving to be Adam's most fantastic and challenging year yet!

January kicked off the pace with Rhodes Twenty Four retaining its Michelin star for the fourth year running, under Adam's precise, professional direction. Adam accredits this success to the brilliant support from his sous chef, Andrew Barkham, plus his stoic kitchen brigade, and of course the meticulous restaurant team, led by Manager, Ludovic Bargibant.

At the beginning of February, Adam travelled to Dubai to assist his former sous chef Paul Lupton, now the Head Chef of Rhodes Mezzanine for the first ever “Taste of Dubai” festival .The festival was a huge success with Rhodes Mezzanine headlining the event and serving approximately 6,000 guests over four days with a selection of taster dishes from the restaurant menu.

At the beginning of May, Adam will be returning to his roots- Northampton College - for the 5th year running, to transform the College's restaurant to "Michelin star" standard. This will be an integral part of a two-day intensive training session for selected catering and hospitality students. The grand finale this year will be a six course meal cooked by the students for 80 invited guests using Adam's recipes and cooking techniques, and under his steely direction.

And at the beginning of June, Adam travels Dublin to assist his friend Paul Hargreaves , Head Chef of Rhodes D7, for Channel 4's "Taste of Dublin" festival. The pair will be serving a selection of taster dishes from the Rhodes D7 menu to guests over four days.
The week following Adam's Dublin adventure, will see Channel 4's "Taste of London" in full swing at Regents Park. For this extravaganza, Rhodes Twenty Four will be one of the restaurants headlining the event and serving a selection of taster dishes from the Rhodes Twenty Four menu, past and present.

At the end of August, Adam will again be returning to his roots, but this time he will be opening the Northamptonshire Food Show held at Holdenby House. The show is held in the grounds of this stunning stately home over a two day period and Adam will be giving live cooking demonstrations and answering culinary questions.

With such a hectic schedule, Adam still manages to keep fit: cycling 26 miles a day to and from work; swimming; clay pigeon shooting; and participating in specialist training with ex-members of the SAS.

Adam lives in South West London with his wife Amber.
