MEET THE CHEF
Luke Crittenden
Luke has over 17 years of experience, refined under the guidance of renowned chefs throughout London and the South East. Following his role as head chef at Russell Norman's Polpetto in Soho he opened his first solo restaurant, Arya, in his hometown Ramsgate in 2018, where he earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand for his exceptional value cooking. Fully embracing veganism, Luke later moved to North Wales to open his first fully vegan restaurant, Foxglove. Luke used his time in Wales to learn more about wild food ingredients and broadened his knowledge of different fermenting and preserving techniques which are now a trademark of his cooking. With a loyal following, Luke is excited to return to Thanet and share his delicious creations with both new and returning guests.
