JASON ATHERTON

Jason Atherton was the first ever British chef to complete a stage at Spain’s famous El Bulli restaurant. Having worked under Pierre Koffmann, Nico Ladenis and Gordon Ramsay as Executive Chef at Verre in Dubai, it was time for Jason to take centre stage and thus came maze. His daily changing menu, many of the dishes which are cooked on a charcoal robata grill, wood oven or on the plancha are prepared using the relatively unfamiliar method of line cooking to his kitchen: a process favoured in many top American kitchens.

In addition to winning a Michelin star, the past 4 years have seen maze sweep the boards to win an unprecedented number of awards including: Best New Restaurant at the Time Out Eating and Drinking Awards 2005; Restaurant of the Year, Newcomer of the Year and Chef of the Year at the Harpers and Queen Restaurant Awards; Best Kitchen at the Tatler Restaurant Awards 2005 and Square Meal’s BMW Restaurant of the Year.
