Sally Abé

In this episode, Justine interviews Chef Sally Abé.

Sally Abé, originally from Nottingham, moved to London in 2007 to pursue a degree in hospitality and business management. She began her culinary journey at The Savoy, then joined Gordon Ramsay at Claridge’s, before spending five years at The Ledbury, honing her skills under two-Michelin-starred chef Brett Graham. After a brief break to work as Technical Food Editor at Great British Chefs, Sally returned to the kitchen in 2016, joining Elystan Street as Sous Chef and later becoming Head Chef at The Harwood Arms, London’s only Michelin-starred pub. Under her leadership, the pub not only retained its Michelin star but also topped Estrella Damm’s Top 50 Gastropubs list.

In 2021, Sally became Consultant Chef at The Conrad London St. James, overseeing the opening of four new food and drink concepts, including Blue Boar Pub and The Pem. After four successful years at The Pem, Sally moved to The Bull at Charlbury as Head of Food, returning to her roots in the gastropub scene. Known for her simple, flavour-driven cooking, Sally focuses on high-quality ingredients and nostalgic British dishes with a modern twist, always prioritising sustainability and supporting smaller producers.
