My name is Ben Denton, I’m 42 and have worked in and run a number of different kitchens in my 25 year career ranging from 3 AA rosette/Gastro Pub/Contract Catering, Event Catering and Consultancy Projects.

Having most recently been head of fine dining at Royal Ascot, running their flagship restaurant the Parade Ring along with their other fine dining restaurants and the Royal Box. I have also run kitchens like Jardin Blanc at Chelsea Flower Show alongside Raymond Blanc for 3 years, Chalets on the 18th fairway at the British Open golf for Rolex and Mercedes, Henley Royal regatta and I have been the chef consultant for the F1 Grand Prix In Sochi, Russia.

I have cooked consistently at 3 AA Rosette/Michelin Star during my career and I pride myself on giving guests the very best of dining experiences.

For me, cooking is...

all about having the freedom to express myself though my food.

I learned to cook at...

a number of different places, namely Hell Bay Hotel in the Isles of Scilly, Linthwaite House Hotel in the Lakes and Driftwood Hotel in Cornwall.

A cooking secret...

is using the very best ingredient's available and doing the very minimum to them to allow there true flavour to shine through.

Ben gave us an exquisite experience during our holiday in North Devon, the food and the detail was exceptional, Ben was discrete when needed but happily chatted to us about his culinary experiences. All four courses were excellent and I couldn't recommend Ben highly enough.

Ben’s food was absolutely brilliant, the quality of the ingredients, the way they were presented, the flavours, we loved every mouthful. Ben is a top chef and we were so lucky to have him cook for us. One of the best meals we have ever had
