Originally from Southport, Merseyside, the son of a fruit and vegetable merchant, Marcus began his career at the young age of 18. An incredible talent, he started acquiring Michelin stars aged just 26 – one of only a handful of chefs to be recognised as such a young age. Over the last 30 years Marcus has been involved in the creation of many of London’s most iconic and celebrated restaurants including his own restaurant group.

Founded in 2008 with his wife Jane, Marcus Wareing Restaurants began with the opening of the two Michelin starred Marcus Wareing at The Berkeley (formerly Pétrus). Within 18 months of formation, the group had grown to include The Gilbert Scott - an elegant British restaurant and bar located at The St Pancras Renaissance Hotel, which opened in 2011, followed by Tredwells, a vibrant West-End eatery which opened in September 2014 and went on to win AA Restaurant of the year in 2016. 2014 also saw Marcus’s restaurant at The Berkeley Hotel take on the new name of Marcus after an extensive renovation which transformed the once familiar claret dining room into a stunning new contemporary space.

Marcus has published seven cookbooks and won numerous coveted awards, Michelin stars, the Acorn Award, Chef of the Year with Caterer and Hotelkeeper, Tatler Restaurateur of the Year, GQ Chef of the Year amongst multiple other restaurant awards.

A familiar face on our TV screens, Marcus has made many key appearances on prime-time TV cookery programmes over the last ten years. In the autumn of 2014 Marcus took on the new role as judge on MasterChef: The Professionals (UK). December 2019 will be his sixth year as judge on the show. Marcus also took on the role of Chef Consultant in the film production Burnt starring Bradley Cooper and Sienna Miller. As Chef Consultant on the production he assisted with various aspects of the film including menu design, food styling and training of the principal leads as well as kitchen and restaurant set design. Bradley Cooper, Sienna Miller and other key cast members spent time in the kitchen at ‘Marcus’ in preparation for their roles. Marcus also worked directly with Bradley Cooper to help get him in the 'psyche' of what life is really like as a chef searching for perfection, helping him to understand the obsession with perfect flavours, ingredients and execution.

March 2016 saw the release of another of Marcus’s TV projects – Chef vs Science – a 90-minute film he created with the BBC.

In September 2016 Marcus released his sixth cookbook ‘Marcus at Home’ published by Harper Collins followed by New Classics in December 2017. He is currently working on a new book, set for release this year.
