Plane Food

Stuart Gillies

On 15th May 2003, Gordon Ramsay and Stuart Gillies unveiled the exciting and vibrant Boxwood Café. Stuart's passion and contagious drive was captured by Gordon who immediately offered Stuart the reins to this innovative restaurant concept.

Prior to this, working as Head Chef alongside the acclaimed Angela Hartnett, Stuart transcended old classic French dishes into modern Italian at The Connaught. His influences at this time also reflected a year spent in Rome at the Lord Byron Hotel and 3 years in Stockholm, Sweden.

Now in 2008, under the leadership of Stuart, Head Chef Nathan Johnson will head up the Plane Food kitchen at Terminal 5.

Stuart’s recipes have appeared widely in magazines and newspapers, and he demonstrates regularly on food shows in the UK and abroad including Taste of London in Regent’s Park, The Restaurant Show and The Daily Telegraph House & Garden Fair at London’s Olympia. He lives in west London with his wife and three young sons.
