Adam Byatt
I couldn’t be happier or prouder of our new senior team at Browns Hotel. We have a collective understanding and they each bring incredible experience. Together we have high ambition to deliver a truly outstanding culinary experience here in the centre of Mayfair. I love being part of the Brown’s team, but I am only as good as the people surrounding me. With Andrew at the helm supported by Fernando and Mike delivering on our goals for Charlie’s - I feel incredibly excited about our future together.”
Andrew Sawyer
Andrew is responsible for team and resource management, ensuring and enhancing Brown’s position as a leading London culinary hotel. Prior to his appointment at Brown’s, Andrew held the role of Executive Chef at The River Restaurant, the Gordon Ramsay restaurant at The Savoy. Preceding this, Andrew successfully opened Siren at The Goring and was Head Chef at The Capital Hotel, overseen by Michelin-starred chef, Nathan Outlaw. Andrew was originally drawn to the industry through friends, inspired by the opportunity for creativity, which can be seen throughout his dishes and management style.
Fernando Montejo Moraga
Fernando most recently held the position of Head Chef at Michelin-starred Barrafina in Soho, following his time as Head Chef at Sabor, which also holds one Michelin-star. Fernando will work in conjunction with Andrew, supporting menu development, ingredient selection and cooking his creations. Fernando began his cooking career 10 years ago, changing industries to follow his passion and love of cooking that had previously been a lifelong pastime.
Mike Shaw
Throughout Mike’s 21 year career, he has spent time working alongside Adam Byatt in both of his Clapham restaurants, Michelin-starred Trinity and neighbourhood favourite Bistro Union. Growing up cooking in his parents’ cafe in the Scottish borders, Mike’s experience has seen him working in other British restaurants honing and demonstrating his craft and ability in championing modern British cuisine. As Head Chef of Charlie’s and part of the Kitchen Leadership team Mike will be responsible for the day to day management of the kitchen, working alongside Adam and Andrew to maintain the excellent standards the neighbourhood-favourite is known for.
