OUR TEAM

Solomon Quartey, Head Chef & CEO

Having always had a passion for food, in his late teens Solomon entered a catering competition in Ghana and won a prestigious scholarship to study Culinary Art. The scholarship entailed spending three months each in the UK, Canada and Australia, which gave him an invaluable education in professional catering and an incredible life experience.

Back in Ghana, he was snapped up by a local restaurant, working his way up before being headhunted by the Ghanaian High Commission to become their in-house chef, managing all the catering for local and visiting dignitaries.

Solomon was asked to relocate to London to continue to work as Head Chef for the Ghanaian High Commission. In London, he studies for his Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Culinary Art. More and more people were asking him to cater for them and, as word of mouth spread and the requests increased, the natural next step was for Solomon to start his own catering business.

Having travelled the world and been fortunate to work with many different chefs and 5 star establishments, Solomon has enjoyed bringing everything he’s learned to his kitchen.

He challenges the misconceptions of Afro-Caribbean food stereotypes, experimenting with Pan Asian fusions and coming up with fresh, appealing and innovative ways to serve the traditional, beloved dishes he grew up with.

Even an exceptionally talented chef is only as good as the ingredients they work with, and Solomon ensures that King Solomon’s Catering uses the freshest foods from the finest produce and meat markets in London.
