The Team

Our team is led by managing director, Damian Clarkson, who has worked for some of the biggest names in event catering, including The Admirable Crichton, Rhubarb Food Design and Mosimann’s.

Damian also enjoys being a Mentor at Oxford Brookes University for Hospitality Undergraduates.

Before setting up The London Kitchen, Damian was managing director of Red Snapper Events, with clients including the Duchy of Cornwall, Tom Ford, Oswald Boateng, Mercedes Benz, Aston Martin, Wella, and Monsoon. He has catered events alongside leading chefs Atul Kochnar and James Martin, and has catered for private clients in the UK and the South of France.
