Chef Jamie Simpson

Chef At Home in St Ives

Zero Mile Kitchen was founded by chefs Jamie Simpson and Jack Pellow, two Cornish chefs driven by a shared vision — to create fine dining experiences rooted in sustainability, locality, and genuine connection.

Together, we bring years of experience from some of the cornwalls leading kitchens, blending refined technique with a deep respect for the land and sea that surround us. Every menu is crafted from what’s grown, foraged, caught, or made within reach — championing Cornwall’s farmers, fishermen, and wild spaces.

From private dining in hidden coastal homes to intimate events in luxury stays, we bring the essence of Cornwall’s landscape to your table — with creativity, respect, and a touch of wildness.
