Restaurant Gordon Ramsay at The London

Josh Emett

Brought up in a remote part of New Zealand, Josh discovered his passion for cooking at a young age. After training at Waikato polytechnic in Hamilton, Josh worked at several restaurants including Waipa Delta, Cin Cin on Quay in Auckland and Est Est Est in Melbourne, Australia. In 2000 Josh joined the three Michelin starred Restaurant Gordon Ramsay in Chelsea as Senior Chef de Partie before joining the team at Gordon Ramsay at Claridge's under Head Chef, Mark Sargeant.

Josh’s passion for combining only the best ingredients and accomplished technique led him to join Chef Patron Marcus Wareing as Head Chef at the reopened The Savoy Grill in 2003 following a major refurbishment by American designer Barbara Barry. Here Josh continued to win over the critics with a solid menu at the grand yet understated British restaurant. In January 2004 Josh and Marcus’ efforts were rewarded when The Savoy Grill won its first Michelin star. This was followed by the launch of Banquette, the new upstairs restaurant over The Savoy Grill and a unique take on the American diner, perfect for a less formal, all day dining experience.

In the autumn of 2006 Josh decided to make the move across the Atlantic, relocating to New York where he is now Chef de Cuisine of The London, overseeing The London Bar, and Gordon Ramsay at The London fine dining restaurant. Here he delivers two distinct but equally exceptional dining experiences. Josh continues to receive exceptional reviews for his cooking in both the American and British press.
