The Square

A quiet culinary professional, Philip Howard has been Head Chef (and co-owner with Nigel Platts-Martin) of The Square since it’s opening in December 1991, and saw the restaurant move in February 1997 to it’s current address in Mayfair from it’s previous St James’s site.  Prior to joining The Square, Howard worked with Marco Pierre White at Harvey’s, Simon Hopkinson at Bibendum and with Roux Restaurants Ltd.

Howard’s distinctive modern French food has enjoyed great critical and consumer success.  A first Michelin star was awarded to The Square in 1994, followed by a second star in 1998.  Numerous other accolades have followed, from the Catey Award for ‘Chef Of The Year’ (1999) to the Guild Of Chef’s ‘Chef Of The Year’ (2005).

A degree in Bio-Chemistry from Kent University gives Howard a unique understanding of cooking and ingredients from a scientific perspective and he is an avid runner (he regularly runs the New York and London marathons).
