About us

Plate of battered fish with potato chips, served with two ramekins of tartar sauce and green peas, on a wooden table with a glass of beer, a glass of water, and a jug of water, during daytime with sunlight and shadows.

James first came on to the cooking scene at age 16, as an apprentice working under the Galvin Brothers. After this, he worked his way round the London food scene, recently leaving 1 Michelin Star, east London restaurant, BEHIND, as Head Chef. Drusilla’s Inn is his first solo venture, a reflection of his personal vision and passion for changing the perspectives of modern British cuisine.
