Frenchie Covent Garden welcomes new head chef


Sister site of the Parisian original, Frenchie Covent Garden has announced the appointment of a new Head Chef, Dale Sutton.

At only 28-years old, Sutton boasts a wealth of experience having worked at La Petite Maison, Aria Restaurant, Momofuku Seiobo and most recently as executive Group Sous Chef for all three of Gregory Marchand’s Frenchie sites in Paris.

Sutton has helped Chef Patron Marchand and the Paris team to achieve international critical acclaim, most recently hosting industry bigwigs for the first meeting of the World Restaurant Awards.

With his extensive experience working alongside Marchand, Sutton is well-versed on the unique ‘Frenchie way’ and is in the perfect position to guide the London team as the Covent Garden site continues to thrive.

Sutton said, “Working with Greg and the rest of the Frenchie family in Paris has been an incredible experience and I’m excited to continue this journey here in London. The Frenchie brand is as international as they come, with influences in the offering from all over the world.

'At the core of the offering, however, there is of course that little spark of Parisian know-how. I’m excited to use my experience to bring a bit more of that to customers in London at Frenchie Covent Garden.”
