Luke Thomas

At just 18 years old, Luke's portfolio is already impressive and extensive, having worked in restaurants around the world including Alinea in Chicago, La Pergola in Rome and the Burj al Arab in Dubai. He has also had the opportunity to work alongside some of the world's top Michelin-starred chefs including the likes of Gary Rhodes and Heston Blumenthal. With such experience under his belt it was only a matter of time before Luke began building his own restaurant empire, and in February 2012 he launched Luke's Dining Room at Sanctum on the Green, Berkshire. His ambition is to be the youngest chef to be awarded a Michelin star. Luke is now an ambassador for Welsh Lamb and Beef and wants people to get a little more adventurous with cooking.
