    The father of two moved to the UAE a few years ago and spoke to Gulf News about his joy of finding a new home for his family in Dubai. “I love walking out when I’m at the top. I think it was a great move to make, it was the right move,” he told Gulf News tabloid! in 2017. He said at the time he was coming to the end of a 10-year contract at one of his two Michelin-starred London restaurants and decided he wanted to move his operations to Dubai, where he was already heading Rhodes Mezzanine (the forerunner to Rhodes W1) at the Grosvenor House hotel.

Besides the collaboration with Spinneys, film buffs across the region can tuck into foie gras and truffle butter panini at what he calls the movie equivalent of the first-class airline experience with Rhodes’ partnership with Vox Cinemas.

    His first major culinary achievement, at the age of 13, was a Sunday roast followed by a classic British dessert - Marguerite Patten's steamed lemon sponge pudding. One look at his family's delighted faces as they got stuck in was enough to convince him that a cook's life was the one for him. After three years training at Thanet technical college (where he met his future wife, Jennie) Rhodes realised that he would need to travel if he was to expand his techniques and fully develop his career.

    Rhodes earned his first Michelin star at The Castle Hotel in Taunton. As head chef this is where he really started to make a name for himself - he retained the hotel’s Michelin star, at just 26 years of age. In January 1996, he won a Michelin Star for the Green House in the UK. Image Credit: Oliver Clarke/Gulf News
