Meet Ben, our talented Head Chef at Pelham House! 👨🏻🍳
In honour of Chef Appreciation Week, we’re celebrating Ben’s incredible journey and passion for cooking. From a young age, Ben was inspired by his dad, and by 15, he was already working in a professional kitchen. After three years at culinary school, he never looked back 💪
Ben’s favourite part about Pelham House? His team and their strong bond—plus, they all enjoy a pho at @pestle_mortar_lewes during breaks 🍜🤞
Looking for a must-try dish? Ben recommends his Venison Fillet with haggis boulangère, blackberry, salt-baked carrot, celeriac crisps & game jus—it’s a showstopper!
For couples getting married at Pelham House, Ben’s advice is simple: choose the food you love, and he’ll help create a bespoke menu just for you 🙂
Home cooks, his top tip: invest in a quality knife and chopping board!
Fun fact: Ben is a knife enthusiast! He even learned how to craft them during lockdown 🔪🔥
