Lorcan Spiteri Parents:- Spiteri is unquestionably one of the leading names in the business of operating restaurants in London. While renowned restaurateur John Spiteri and his ex-wife, Rochelle Canteen co-owner Melanie Arnold, may have made names for themselves in the business side of restaurants, their son Lorcan has a natural affinity for the kitchen. John Spiteri was one of the founding partners of St. John and more recently Sessions Arts Club. He now co-owns two distinct restaurants at Islington’s Studio Kitchen with his brother Fin after deciding to pursue a successful career of his own. He appears to enjoy what he is doing.

However, Lorcan’s father, the general manager of Soho institution Quo Vadis, was where he first gained practical restaurant experience. Although he started out as a commis server (“I was literally polishing plates and cutlery”), he quickly made his way into the kitchen and started observing his colleagues chefs as they prepared for services with fascination. As the great Jeremy Lee took Lorcan under his wing, he ultimately gave him permission to assist with cold starters, and Lorcan gradually began to make his way through the sections.

Education

Lorcan spent his entire four-year tenure at Quo Vadis learning the value of respecting ingredients and always choosing the best suppliers—a philosophy he now espouses, notably at his most recent venture, Caravel. According to Lorcan, “We always aim to use exceptionally quality produce from vendors like Natoora and Fin and Flounder.” However, we also attempt to make everything from scratch, such as by making our own sourdough and pickling everything.

Career

When the owners of Holborn Studios in Angel approached Lorcan and his brother Fin in 2020 about managing the food and beverage programme, the four of them became partners a short time later. Lockdown gave the brothers time to develop a strategy after they had previously only provided catering at the studios. As soon as the restrictions were lifted, they opened The Pontoon at Studio Kitchen, which served casual food akin to Guinea Fowlers. Lorcan beams, “Fergus Henderson sat outside and devoured one of our fried chicken burgers with a Guinness shortly after we opened.”

Restaurant Work

Caravel features a diversified menu that draws inspiration from all the numerous places that Lorcan has worked over the years and is situated on a boat moored up on the Regent’s Canal close to Studio Kitchen, which the brothers had always had aspirations for. He says, “The cuisine is a little bit of a mishmash.” I’ve borrowed parts here and there, but it’s all food that I like to cook and that I hope people want to eat, the author said. We serve anything from prawn toast to crab tagliatelle, but they’re all meals that work, so at first glance, people might wonder what the heck is going on here.
