The pair originally met working for chef Andrew Fairlie at the Gleneagles Hotel.

Ian will be returning to his homeland from San Francisco where he heads up In Situ at the city’s Museum of Modern Art, dubbed ‘America’s most original new restaurant’ by The New York Times.

Mark Donald joined Number One earlier this year from Sydney, where he was Head Chef at Bentley Restaurant & Bar. Prior to this Mark was Senior Sous Chef at Claude Bosi’s 2 Michelin Star Hibiscus in Mayfair, London.
