Paul Rhodes grew up in a hotel, peeling potatoes and doing the dishes before he could pronounce his own name, and 20 years old he went to London to kick start his career.

Paul landed his first job in London at a hotel and hated it. Being strong willed in this tough business helped Paul get a position under the demanding French chef Pierre Koffman, laying the foundation for Paul's success.

At 24 Paul became head chef of two star restaurant Chez Nico at Ninety Park Lane. Soon he topped it off by gaining a third star for Nico Ladenis in the Michelin guide.
Paul held this position for ten years, and also opened the restaurants Incognico on Shaftesbury Avenue and Deca in Conduit Street, both in London, before Paul&K was established.
Chez Nico held the three stars until Paul left to work full time with Paul&K.
