White had a stake in the Yew Tree Inn, a 17th-century dining pub near Highclere in Hampshire, although following an acrimonious falling out with his business partners the pub was sold. Since May 2016 the two restaurants have become the London Steakhouse Co, a successful partnership and are, as of June 2018, the only restaurants worldwide in which White is a major shareholder. James Robertson had worked for White as a maître d'hôtel, between 19. As co-owners, since 2010 they have also operated the Kings Road Steakhouse & Grill in Chelsea. In 2008, White opened the MPW Steak & Alehouse with James Robertson in the Square Mile in London. Together with Jimmy Lahoud, he set up White Star Line Ltd, which they operated together for several years before ending their partnership in 2007. After his retirement, he became a restaurateur. White announced his retirement from the kitchen in 1999 and cooked his final meal for a paying customer on 23 December at the Oak Room. I had three options: I could be a prisoner of my world and continue to work six days a week, I could live a lie and charge high prices and not be behind the stove or I could give my stars back, spend time with my children and re-invent myself. I was being judged by people who had less knowledge than me, so what was it truly worth? I gave Michelin inspectors too much respect, and I belittled myself. So, in 1999, he retired and returned his Michelin stars. His record was superseded by Massimiliano Alajmo in 2002, who achieved three stars at the age of 28.Īlthough White worked for seventeen years to pursue his ambition, he ultimately found that, in spite of his accomplishments, recognition and fame, his career did not provide him with adequate returns in his personal life. In 1994, at the age of 32, White became the first British chef to be awarded three Michelin stars and the youngest chef to achieve three stars to that point. He later became chef-patron of The Restaurant Marco Pierre White in the dining room at the former Hyde Park Hotel, where he won the third Michelin star, and then moved to the Oak Room at the Le Méridien Piccadilly Hotel. White's notable protégés who worked at Harveys include Gordon Ramsay, Phil Howard, Stephen Terry, and Éric Chavot. He also won the Newcomer Award at the 1987 The Catey Awards, run by The Caterer magazine. In 1987, White opened Harveys in Wandsworth Common, London, where he won his first Michelin star almost immediately, and his second a year later. He then branched out on his own, working in the kitchen at the Six Bells public house in the Kings Road with assistant Mario Batali. He continued his training under Pierre Koffman at La Tante Claire, moving to work in the kitchen of Raymond Blanc at Le Manoir, and later with Nico Ladenis of Chez Nico at Ninety Park Lane. In 1981, he went to London with "£7.36, a box of books, and a bag of clothes", and began his classical training as a commis with Albert and Michel Roux at Le Gavroche. White first trained at Hotel St George in Harrogate and then at the Box Tree in Ilkley. He left Allerton High School in Leeds without any qualifications and decided to train as a chef like his father. Marco Pierre White was born in Leeds on 11 December 1961, the third of four sons born to Maria-Rosa Gallina, an Italian immigrant from Veneto, and Frank White, a chef. He has trained notable chefs such as Mario Batali, Heston Blumenthal, Shannon Bennett, Gordon Ramsay, and Curtis Stone. In 1994, at age 32, White became the first British chef (and the youngest chef at the time) to be awarded three Michelin stars. He has been dubbed "the first celebrity chef" and the enfant terrible of the UK restaurant scene. Marco Pierre White (born 11 December 1961) is a British chef, restaurateur, and television personality.
