After completing catering college he spent the next 10 years learning his trade in some of the great kitchens of London and the south of France culminating in the position of Head Chef at Maze Grill.

He then went on to head-up the kitchens at Searcys atThe Gherkin. This private members club includes an award winning restaurant which has established itself under Arnaud’s influence as one of the most sought-after tables in London.
Arnaud has devised the concept of the Sixtyone Restaurant in partnership with his protégé, Head Chef Killian Lynch. The food at Sixtyone is all about quality and style but in a relaxed setting.
