WELCOME TO THE GINGER GROUP

The Ginger Chef, Ben McKellar, together with wife and business partner Pamela McKellar, started the Gingerman Group in 1998 with their flagship restaurant close to Brighton seafront, The Gingerman. Considered amongst the best restaurants in Brighton, there are 4 Ginger-branded sites in total, one of which includes luxury guest accommodation listed in The Sunday Times top 100 British Hotels. The Ginger Pig and Ginger Rooms in Hove and The Ginger Fox in the foot of the South Downs just a few miles outside of Brighton.

Testimonials:

“We fell in love with Ben and his wondrous cooking skills at The Ginger Man. Ben and Pamela [then brought] the whole experience to our HOUSE and lay on the best dinner party experience for us and all our friends. The whole night was awesome, food that was simply off the scale divine and delicious, cocktails and wine. 5 stars from us Cooks for the Ginger Boy Wonder & Pamela.” Zoe Ball

 

“Ben and Pamela were intricate in the detail of planning and tailoring a menu that was exactly as we would like. Every minor detail had been thought of. The food was unbelievable and still has us talking to this day. It was an evening to go down in history, not least because of the planning, the quality of the food but also because both Ben & Pamela are amazingly charismatic hosts.” Steven & Rachel Charman, MD Pets Corner

 

“What a truly amazing evening – the food was out of this world and the experience overall was spot on. I love eating in great restaurants, but having this at home was just great fun, with our group of friends. Cannot wait to do this again.” Richard Skeritt
