Anthony Hart built his career in the UK’s professional restaurant sector, working in a variety of kitchens and developing strong operational experience.

  • conferences and workshops on mental health in hospitality,
  • awareness programs aimed at chefs, restaurateurs, and hospitality teams,
  • promoting healthier and more supportive working environments in professional kitchens.
