Jason Atherton

Chef and Restaurateur

Jason Atherton is the chef behind the group of Social restaurants whose flagship, Pollen Street Social, opened in 2011. He has since opened two more restaurants in London, Social Eating House in Soho and Little Social in Mayfair, with overseas venues in Hong Kong, Dubai, Shanghai, New York and Singapore. Atherton ran away from home at 16 to train as a chef while his mother and stepfather were on holiday, and in 1998 he became the first British chef to complete a stage at el Bulli in Spain, for many years regarded as the best restaurant in the world. He has also trained under chefs including Nico Landis, Pierre Koffmann and Marco Pierre White, honing his classical skills, and until 2010 he was the executive chef at Gordon Ramsay’s Michelin-starred Maze. 2016 will see further openings planned for Sydney and London.
