Aaron Harris, Head Chef 

Fascinated about food from a young age, Aaron spent a lot of time cooking alongside his mum and grandma learning all the tricks of English classics.

Starting work experience at the tender age of 13, Aaron worked as a kitchen porter in the local village pubs and soon started helping the chefs with their prep, falling in love with the kitchen lifestyle. At 16, Aaron enrolled at catering college and at 26 he moved to London working with Arnaud Stevens, Executive Chef of Searcy’s as Senior Chef De Partie before being promoted to head chef, opening SixtyOne in Marylebone. Within six months, the restaurant was awarded 3 AA rosettes and continued to chase for the Michelin Star.

Aaron has also worked for Mark Birchall at The Barn, Lisa Allen at 1 Michelin Northcote Hotel, Tom Sellers at Restaurant Story, Latymer restaurant at Pennyhill Park, working with Steve Smith who has held a star for an impressive 24 years. During his tenure, Aaron became part of the UK Bocuse team as a mentee.

Aaron is delighted to be taking over the reigns as head chef at Muse, working closely with Tom in continuing to drive creativity and consistancy in the kitchen, and making Muse that little bit more unique and special.
