Neil Snowball will be joining the team Petrus as Head Chef, taking up the position at the Michelin-starred restaurant in Knightsbridge at the end of June.
Neil is not a newcomer to the Gordon Ramsay Group as he has previously been in the kitchens of Claridge’s and Restaurant Gordon Ramsay which gave him invaluable experience for his new role. Between 2008 and 2011 Neil was Senior Sous Chef at Gordon Ramsay at Claridge’s working alongside the head chef, managing a bridge of 35. Later he worked under Clare Smyth in Restaurant Gordon Ramsay assisting with dish development. He is joining from The Fat Duck where he was Senior Development Chef.
Previous to this, his experience also included working as a Sous Chef in the Leyton Hall in South Africa and at Grayshott Spa in HindHead, England.
Gordon Ramsay said, “Having previously been part of our Group and developing his skills inside the company we are very confident that Neil will deliver the high standard dining experience that Pétrus is renowned for, I’m delighted to welcome him back.”
Neil Snowball added: “It’s great to be coming back to where I have spent the majority of my career. This is a big opportunity for me but I can’t wait to get in the kitchen of such a prestigious restaurant.”
