James Knappett is chef patron and co-founder of Kitchen Table. From Soham, Cambridgeshire, James had an interest in cooking from an early age, attending a Cambridgeshire catering college before moving to London and landing formative positions at the likes of Restaurant Gordon Ramsay, The Berkeley and The Ledbury. Following a number of years in the city’s hospitality industry, James relocated to Rick Stein’s The Seafood Restaurant in Padstow for three years, before venturing further afield in 2005 to undertake a role at Thomas Keller’s renowned restaurant Per Se in New York. James then moved to the world-famous Noma in Copenhagen before returning to London to start his own venture. In September 2012, James and his wife Sandia Chang opened Kitchen Table in Fitzrovia, which was awarded a Michelin star two years later in 2014, followed by a coveted second star in 2018.
