Marcus Wareing (born 1970) is an English celebrity chef, currently Chef Patron of Marcus Wareing at The Berkeley in Knightsbridge, and formerly Pétrus in the same location. He also oversees The Gilbert Scott at the St. Pancras Renaissance London Hotel and has lent a menu to the Aalto at the Hotel La Tour in Birmingham. Wareing has previously been head chef at L’Oranger and the Grill Room at the Savoy Hotel.
He has had a long standing partnership and rivalry with Gordon Ramsay; the pair first met at Le Gavroche under Albert Roux. The partnership would dissolve during publicised disagreement in 2008 when the Berkeley Hotel decided to work directly with Wareing rather than through Ramsay's holding company and the following legal arrangement resulted in Ramsay retaining the rights to the Pétrus name while Wareing went on to open his restaurant in the location. Wareing won the dessert course of the 2006 series of the BBC's Great British Menu, and would appear as a judge in later series of the show, although his first television appearance was in the Ramsay based show Boiling Point.

Famous quotes containing the word marcus:
“We fight our way through the massed and leveled collective safe taste of the Top 40, just looking for a little something we can call our own. But when we find it and jam the radio to hear it again it isn’t just ours—it is a link to thousands of others who are sharing it with us. As a matter of a single song this might mean very little; as culture, as a way of life, you can’t beat it.”
—Greil Marcus (b. 1945)
