Sam White

Executive Head Chef

We are delighted to welcome Sam White as the new Executive Head Chef at St Edmund Hall.

Sam joined us on 22 November 2022 from Abingdon School after three years at Magdalen College School as Head Chef. He has worked as a chef for 15 years, following in the footsteps of his father and grandmother. From his first day as a chef in a central Oxford hotel, Sam knew that it was his passion and what he wanted to do. Sam has travelled a large part of the world: Australia, Southeast Asia, and Europe to name a few, where he has picked up many culinary skills and concepts. His travelling can clearly be seen in his daily menu here at Teddy Hall.  Sam has also worked in Rosette awarded restaurants in Brighton and 5-star hotels in Perth.

You can follow Sam and his team’s fantastic work via the St Edmund Hall Kitchen Instagram account.
