Steven, Chef-Owner (affectionately known as The Fat Chef)
From the time he put on his first apron and made scones in his mother’s kitchen, Steven has always known he would be a chef. Having studied at the world-famous Westminster Kingsway College in London, he was working as a chef at the age of 15!
Madalina, General Manager (also known as Maddy/Mads)
Madalina is the vibrant, welcoming face of The Chequers. With an unfailing memory for names, she greets new and returning customers as old friends.
