Matt Leach

Matt has worked under Gordon Ramsey and alongside Simon Radley and has now been appointed Head Chef at the Marco Pierre White Steakhouse, Bar & Grill at Doubletree by Hilton Chester….

Well-known for his no-nonsense approach in the kitchen, Matt has certainly got a lot in common with new boss Marco Pierre White.

Matt first studied at West Cheshire College where he gained his formal qualifications. Whilst working at a local hotel restaurant Matt got the opportunity for a two day trial at Gordon Ramsey’s London restaurant Claridge’s.

He was then offered a permanent position and in his time at Claridge’s learnt how a disciplined kitchen ran, to appreciate working with quality produce, cope with long hours and consistently raise his standards.

Matt was then lured back home to Chester with the opportunity to work with The Grosvenor Hotel’s Simon Radley, where he held the position of Sous Chef from late 2006 to 2010.

The MPW Steakhouse, Bar & Grill Chester is set to be heavily influenced by Matt and Marco’s enthusiasm for exceptional seasonal produce and that all important affordable glamour.

The MPW Steakhouse, Bar & Grill at Doubletree by Hilton Chester is located on Warrington Road, Hoole, Chester CH2 3PD.
