Simon Rogan said: “I couldn’t be prouder. Welcoming the first cohort of fourteen students to the Simon Rogan Academy is a hugely positive step as we begin our journey together. Alongside this cutting-edge learning programme for chefs, I’m pleased to be able to launch a similar industry leading learning package for front of house colleagues.
