"Jonathan Whittle is the Head Chef of London’s globally acclaimed St. JOHN Smithfield—the iconic "mothership" of the modern nose-to-tail dining movement. One of an unbroken line of Chef's reaching back to Fergus himself, he is driven by a lifelong admiration for the restaurant’s foundational approach to food, Jonathan joined the St. JOHN kitchen in 2018. Over six years, he deeply immersed himself in the venue's distinct, ingredient-led culture before being appointed Head Chef of the flagship location in 2024.

At the helm, Jonathan champions the restaurant’s famous maxim, 'Always the same, but never the same'. Traveling to Western Australia alongside St. JOHN co-founder Trevor Gulliver, Jonathan balances a fierce commitment to preserving the brand's historic, minimalist repertoire with a spirited, collaborative approach to kitchen innovation. ENDS
