Marcus Wareing is an English chef, born in Southport, Lancashire.[1] He is currently head chef of Pétrus at The Berkeley Hotel in Knightsbridge, and previously the Grill Room at the Savoy Hotel on the Strand.
A protege of Gordon Ramsay, Wareing is recognised as one of the United Kingdom's top chefs. Pétrus, which Wareing opened and operated on behalf of Gordon Ramsay Holdings (GRH) at the Berkeley hotel, has been awarded two Michelin stars and five AA Rosettes, while the Savoy Grill achieved its first Michelin star in its 100-plus year history since he took over. In 2004 Marcus Wareing was voted Restaurateur of the Year at the Tatler Restaurant awards.
In 2006, Marcus Wareing and Simon Rimmer represented the North of England in the BBC television series Great British Menu [1]. Wareing beat the Manchester-based chef to go on to the final round. In the final the public chose for him to cook his dessert of egg custard tart with Garibaldi biscuits for the Queen's 80th birthday banquet which was on 17 June 2006.
Following months of industry rumour, in May 2008 the Berkeley hotel confirmed that it intended to work directly with Wareing to launch its own restaurant. He will take on the lease from September 19.[2] The move sees Wareing parting company with his mentor Ramsay after 15 years working together. The Pétrus name which is owned by GRH is likely to transfer to another restaurant in the group with La Noisette identified as the most likely.[3]
He is married, with two sons and one daughter
