About Chef Anwar Miah
Over 28 years in professional kitchens, now helping restaurants and food businesses across the UK run sharper, more profitable operations.
I built my reputation across professional kitchens before moving into consultancy. I've helped more than 50 restaurants and food businesses — from independent operators in Bedford and Bedfordshire to multi-site concepts across the UK — improve their menus, kitchen operations and team performance.
My approach is direct and practical — not generic advice. Whether you're opening a new restaurant, restructuring a kitchen that has outgrown its systems, or trying to get your team performing to a consistent standard, the work is always specific to your operation.

Audit
I assess menu, costing, workflow, systems and staffing, and pinpoint what's holding profitability back.

I can stay involved through implementation so the changes hold and keep delivering.
