Grazing Appoints Chef Director

UK office and venue catering specialist Grazing has promoted Sebastian Price to chef director – a new role for the business.

The role will see Price take on more responsibility for Grazing’s wider operations outside of the kitchen, extending his reach to front-of-house, which will include recruitment, team training, service, operations and logistics. 

As well as supporting the company’s chefs in designing menus for Grazing’s clients, he will oversee the entire delivered-in catering service from production kitchen to customer plate at client sites. 

Price joined Grazing last year as executive chef. He was formerly executive chef of Food+ by Compass, based at the Google headquarters in London, having previously worked as executive head chef for Sodexo's Publicis White City site, development and executive chef for BaxterStorey's south and south-west region, and executive chef for Amazon.

Seb has played a pivotal role in the development of our offer and we wanted to recognise this through the introduction of our first ever chef director role.

Sam Hurst, chief grazing officer, says: “We’ve had an incredible year, largely down to the efforts of so many of our talented team.

“This role also means we are able to build more strength in depth for our team, positioning us well for further growth.”
