The Stafford London is delighted to unveil key additions to its food and beverage team as it prepares for the launch of its highly anticipated new restaurant this September, in collaboration with renowned Michelin-starred chef Michael Caines MBE. This new venture will bring Michael's signature modern British cuisine - rooted in seasonality, elegant craftsmanship and technical precision - to the heart of St James's.
Central to this new culinary journey is the appointment of Simon Ulph as Executive Head Chef. Simon recently joined Lympstone Manor, Michael Caines' flagship country house hotel and restaurant in Devon, and has now been selected to lead the kitchen team at The Stafford London's new restaurant. With an impressive background and a passion for refined, produce-led cooking, Simon brings both a fresh perspective and technical excellence to the role.
Working in close collaboration with Michael Caines, Simon will be responsible for executing Michael's culinary vision and repertoire in London, developing menus that champion British seasonal ingredients and sustainability, and delivering the exceptional dining standards for which both Michael and The Stafford London are known.
The launch of the new restaurant not only marks a bold evolution in The Stafford London's culinary story but also reinforces the hotel's ongoing commitment to developing and supporting the next generation of hospitality talent. The Stafford London remains passionate about fostering creativity, excellence, and opportunity in both kitchen and service.
