Jeff Galvin
Inspired by his older brother, Chris, Jeff started his career at the same, small neighbourhood restaurant, where Chris once washed the pots for Anthony Worral Thompson. After completing catering college, Jeff joined the Savoy Hotel, as a young commis under the direction of Anton Edelman, before progressing to the role of junior sous chef at David Levin’s Michelin starred Capital Hotel working for renowned chef, Philip Britten.

In 1994 he was appointed by Nico Ladenis at Chez Nico at 90 Park Lane as Sous Chef and was part of the kitchen brigade that achieved the elusive third Michelin star.

He joined Chris for the opening of Orrery in Marylebone in 1997 before being reunited with David Levin as Head Chef at The Greenhouse restaurant in Mayfair.

His Michelin-starred experience led to his appointment at Marco Pierre White’s three Michelin-starred Oak Room, where he was Head Chef under the direction of Robert Reid, and in May 2000 Marco appointed him as Executive Chef at L’Escargot which held a Michelin star for five years.

In September 2005 he teamed up with Chris to launch their own venture, Galvin Bistrot de Luxe which opened to much critical acclaim and has won numerous awards.

In May 2006 the brothers launched Galvin at Windows, on the 28th floor of the London Hilton on Park Lane, with André Garrett (ex-Orrery) as their Head Chef.
