About the Chef

Head Chef Jamie King began his cooking career at Harvey Nichols's 5th Floor Restaurant, Knightsbridge, under acclaimed chef Henry Harris, rising to Sous Chef.

Jamie's next move was to Oxford, as the opening Head Chef at Branca. The Kings then took over The Star Inn at Sulgrave, near Banbury. Here they gained recognition in several guides, and a star from Egon Ronay. Following their enjoyable and successful tenure, they approached Wadworth Brewers with their plan and vision for The Anchor.
