John Williams MBE
Maître Rôtisseur, Executive Chef of The Ritz London.
Born in South Shields to a fisherman’s family, Williams discovered his passion early, helping his mother cook and later training at South Shields College before heading to London to refine his craft.
His rise through the capital’s most prestigious hotels—Claridge’s, The Berkeley, and the Royal Garden—cemented his reputation as a master of haute cuisine. By 1995, he had become Maître Chef des Cuisines at Claridge’s, a role that showcased his precision, leadership, and unwavering commitment to culinary excellence.
