Who is Chef Jorge?
George Bennett, or Jorge as he prefers to be called, is not your average chef. With experience working at some of the top restaurants in London's Mayfair, he brings a level of expertise and creativity to his delicatessen that is unmatched. His passion for food and dedication to quality shine through in every dish he creates.
“I want to use all of my experience - plus inspiration from my travels - to turn this little piece of Grantham into the best deli outside of London.”
“I have always been interested in food and travelling but it was during an exchange visit to Spain when I was at university – I was actually studying Fine Arts at uni – that I really became engrossed in the Spanish way of life; of their love of small dishes and fresh food,” said Jorge.
“When I returned to the UK, I decided to trial at the Westminster Catering College – the same place that TV chef Jamie Oliver trained at – to become a classically-trained chef and, much to everyone’s surprise, I was given a place on the three-year course.
“The village I lived in was tiny. It was nestled in the hillside and was really pretty. I loved the fact that locals would visit the beach, start a fire and cook things that they had caught that day…fresh crabs, crayfish, and that everyone would chip in with the cooking duties."
