i. Biography
The Climb
At Bournemouth and Poole College and through the Royal Academy of Culinary Arts, Deepak Mallya built a disciplined base for kitchen work: technique, pace, and consistency. The apprenticeship at The Ritz London put that training into service inside a working hotel kitchen, before the move to Executive Sous Chef at The Ritz London (2023–2025) marked a further step through the ranks. Since 2025, the Head Chef role at The Ritz London, England, United Kingdom has kept Deepak Mallya in the same kitchen where he developed his craft. The progression matters less as a title change than as evidence of continuity in a house kitchen that rewards precision and repetition.
Today
Since 2025, he has been Head Chef there. The role keeps him in the kitchen where he developed his craft and progressed through the ranks.
In Their Words “From the moment I stepped into the kitchen, I was captivated by the fast pace, the camaraderie and the discipline.” “I’ve always loved food, but cooking was never something I imagined doing myself.”
