George is a chef whose cooking is driven by flavour, seasonality, and live-fire cooking.

Trained at River Cottage HQ, he has been involved with Pit Kitchen alongside Adam since it began. He has led the food and cooking direction as the business has grown. His food draws on global influences but is always about enjoyment, good company, and generous eating — no frills, nothing fancy. Alongside running restaurants, his background spans recipe development for leading UK hospitality groups and retail brands, and he has a deep interest in agriculture and sustainable food production in an increasingly unsustainable world. 

Pit Kitchen is a live-fire restaurant and events concept built around cooking over flame, sharing food, and big, comforting flavours. Based in a converted barn in the Cotswolds, it focuses on grilled meats, vegetables, flatbreads, and sauces, with a strong emphasis on locally sourced ingredients wherever possible. The approach is informal and seasonal, with a global outlook and food designed to be enjoyed together.
