Sam Brotchie, founder of Sexy Buns, began his professional journey in Sales, Marketing, and Business Management in Brittany, France, Sam's journey took a transformative turn when he spent a year farming in Australia, developing a deep appreciation for fresh, high quality ingredients.
Upon returning to France, despite his friends' and family's skepticism, he pursued a career in hospitality. Determined to learn from the best, he moved to the South of France and, after a few phone calls, secured a position at Le Suisse in St Jean de Luz, a restaurant owned by the esteemed chefs Yves Camdeborde and Ramuntxo Courdé. This opportunity allowed him to begin his formal training as a chef.
In 2017, Sam moved to London, joining the Michelin-starred Céleste at The Lanesborough under Eric Fréchon where he honed his skills in fine dining. He later helped expand a well-known kebab restaurant group from two to ten locations in Covent Garden.
In April 2023, Sam launched Sexy Buns, his latest venture, elevating the humble sandwich to a gastronomic sensation now with four sites across London.
