Former Le Caprice chef Kevin Gratton launches consultancy business

Former Le Caprice and Hix Restaurants chef Kevin Gratton has launched his own hospitality consultancy business, Samphire & Sage.

Gratton started his career with Marco Pierre White in London before becoming head chef at the original Le Caprice, working alongside Jeremy King and Chris Corbin. 

In 2007 he opened Scott’s in Mayfair, which won a Catey Award for Menu of the Year, and later took an executive chef role at Soho House Group.

From 2011 – 17 he was chef director at Mark Hix’s restaurant group, overseeing restaurants including Hix Soho and Pharmacy 2, and he was most recently head of operations at the 21 Hospitality Group, where he was responsible for seven restaurants and a team of 170 across the north of England.

His new venture will offer consultancy on staff training, operational management, menu development and helping improve customer experience.

“Samphire + Sage represents my commitment to sharing the knowledge and passion I’ve accumulated throughout my career, with energy and enthusiasm,” said Gratton.

“I look forward to helping businesses navigate the complexities of the industry and achieve long-term success.”

Samphire & Sage is now accepting new clients in the UK and worldwide.
