The Future Plate is made up of experts in luxury catering, unified in their mission to make African and Caribbean cuisine known for its quality, skill, passion and execution. With Guyanese roots, Rampat will be ‘pioneering’ the role of core chef in The Future Plate family.
Rampat joined Lexington Catering in February 2018, responsible for overseeing the delivery of consistently fresh menu offerings alongside the wider chef development team.
Having cooked for celebrities including Naomi Osaka, Nick Kyrgios and Idris Elba, The Future Plate is fast becoming known as the go to caterer for African & Caribbean cuisine.
Commenting on the news, Rampat said: “My father is from Guyana and my mum was from Austria, so when I was growing up I was exposed to the most incredible flavours and foods. This left a lasting impression on me and certainly influenced my career in catering.
“I’ve always made it my mission to introduce often underrepresented flavours and dishes to a wider audience. My personal aims are perfectly aligned to The Future Plate’s objectives and I’m proud to be championing African and Caribbean cuisine alongside such a talented team – a sure recipe for success.”
Located at Somerset House in London, The Future Plate will host and curate a range of events showcasing treasured African and Caribbean cuisines.
Matt Wood, managing director of Lexington Catering, added: “Dan is an incredibly talented, passionate and driven member of the Lexington team and it’s wonderful to see him offer those qualities to The Future Plate’s meaningful purpose.”
