Premium international hospitality group, Rhubarb Hospitality Collection has appointed Kerth Gumbs Head Chef of Fenchurch Restaurant.
Fenchurch is Sky Garden’s contemporary fine-dining restaurant situated on the 37th floor of Fenchurch Building, which is known as the Walkie Talkie due to its shape.
Starting early next month, Kerth brings with him nearly two decades of experience working in the kitchens of numerous world-class establishments.
He joins from restaurant and bar, Boiler & Co, where he held the position of Head Chef, and prior to that he held the same position at highly acclaimed restaurant, Ormer Mayfair.
A Le Cordon Bleu graduate, he was also crowned champion of the London and South East region in BBC Two’s Great British Menu 2020, making it to the national finals, and he has recently been announced as one of the judges for BBC Three’s new Young MasterChef, due to air in 2023.
Kerth shared, “With its unrivalled city skyline views and its reputation as one of London’s leading fine-dining rooftop restaurants, I’m thrilled to be joining the Fenchurch team.
'It is a beautiful and iconic venue with so much to give, and I’m really looking forward to putting my own stamp on the menu.”
PB Jacobse, CEO of Rhubarb Hospitality Collection, added, “We have long admired Kerth and we are so pleased to have him on board. His innovative and modern approach to fine dining and immaculate presentation skills will be a real asset and I know he will take Fenchurch to new heights.”
