Andre Francois, Chef de Cuisine
From the historic town of Arras in Northern France, Andre Francois enjoyed the art of cooking from the age of 12, and after leaving school he quickly honed his skills to become a personal head chef to renowned figure Elie de Rothschild and family when he was just 19 years old. 2010 saw him move to Britain, where he worked at the Chewton Glen Hotel and then spent some time as head chef at ‘The Maltsters’ pub, owned by Keith Floyd. Having opened four establishments in London, today he is known as a celebrity chef worldwide and proudly runs his Andre Academy, which after just three months of opening was voted one of the top 25 cookery schools in the world.
