i. Biography
Before The Ledbury, the training line ran through Norfolk service and college work: a kitchen role making starters and desserts at The Ostrich pub in Castle Acre, the finer discipline of Strattons in Swaffham under head chef Sam Bryant, and a catering apprenticeship at City College Norwich through Bryant. For Harry Corder, that sequence set the base before Nottingham, Australia, and London. “Sam introduced me to the world of high-profile chefs and Michelin stars and he took me under his wing.” Harry has said.
The Making
Kitchen formation often starts below the pass. Harry Corder trained at City College Norwich, then worked as weekend pot washer at The Ostrich pub in Castle Acre, moving into a kitchen role making starters and desserts. The next stage was Strattons in Swaffham, followed by commis chef work at Restaurant Sat Bains in Nottingham, then chef work in Australia, and a chef role at The Quality Chop House in London from 2021. In 2022, the route moved to The Ledbury in London as sous chef; today, Harry is senior sous chef there.
The Work Today
The senior kitchen role sits inside daily production, section control, and service discipline. In Harry Corder’s case, the position carries a traceable line: Castle Acre, Swaffham, City College Norwich, Nottingham, Australia, The Quality Chop House in London, and the current London dining room. That route is practical rather than decorative. Starters and desserts at The Ostrich gave early section work; Strattons placed the craft under the influence of Sam Bryant; Restaurant Sat Bains supplied the commis stage; The Quality Chop House added a London chef role from 2021; and the later post from 2022 deepened that progression before the current senior position. The role gathers those stages without flattening them.
