David Mendes

Head Pastry Chef

London, England

I am a creative head pastry chef who helps businesses attract customers and increase revenue by innovating and improving their product range. I bring 16 years’ global experience to create exciting, delicious new products that customers love. Commercially minded, I know how to improve efficiency, productivity, and performance, and have the passion and leadership skills to deliver change. I have proven these skills in diverse environments, including hotels and fast-growing restaurant chains, and under the leadership of talented chefs including Yotam Ottolenghi. Friendly and approachable, I work well at all levels, whether presenting new business strategies, training and motivating teams, or engaging with customers to understand and meet their needs.
