Meet Stoke Park’s award- winning Chef, Chris Wheeler…

11.09.20

Over the past 27 years, Chris Wheeler has been wowing guests with his innovative cuisine and incredible personality.

From being the right hand man to Jean-Christophe Novelli for 10 years, to heading up Stoke Park’s kitchens since 2003, Chris’s ability to create exquisite, mouth-watering dishes has won much praise from both the international media and the many guests who have enjoyed his food over the years.

Janet Harmer, Associate Editor of The Caterer recently stated “Chris Wheeler is one of the most genuine and loyal chefs in the hospitality industry.” In 2016 he was named the Hotel Chef of the Year (over 250 covers) at the prestigious Hotel Cateys, won Chef of the Year at the Berkshire and Buckinghamshire Life Food and Drink Awards and has entertained millions over the years on shows such as Saturday Kitchen, Sunday Brunch and Great British Menu. Chris is also a regular face on stage at Food Festivals all over the UK, including performing regular cooking demos at the Thame Food Festival and Taste of London.

In 2017 he was appointed the UK Ambassador for the Quality Standard Mark Beef and Lamb Scheme, a position he still holds today and continues to raise a fortune for charitable causes.

In 2019 Chris travelled to Tokyo, cooking at Japan’s most prestigious food festival and to showcase British Beef and Lamb.

He also launched his debut cookbook The Ginger Chef ‘Served Up’. The book, which features over 65 recipes to suit all appetites, was created so that you can create at home dishes which guests at Stoke Park have been raving about for years.

As one journalist recently wrote ‘People who love to eat are always the best people’.. and if Mr. Wheeler is around to feed them they’re also the luckiest.’

Since 2013 Stoke Park’s fine dining restaurant, Humphry’s, which is headed up by Chris, has held 3 AA Rosettes and is an incredible culinary experience.
