In his new role as Culinary Director, Steve will oversee the culinary strategy and vision for Gather & Gather Ireland.
Steve has led large-scale culinary teams and delivered consistently high-quality, innovative food experiences for a discerning client base. No stranger to Gather & Gather, he previously held the position of Development Chef for Gather & Gather based in the UK alongside his role as Group Executive Chef for a national media organisation. He has followed a dynamic career path, including leadership roles in some of the world’s leading hotels and restaurants.
Based in Ireland for the past four years, Steve has worked across high-volume hospitality and retail environments, including Dublin Airport, where he has built strong relationships with local suppliers and developed a deep understanding of the Irish market.
Steve Land said,
“Gather & Gather Ireland is firmly at the forefront of delivering high-quality food services and hospitality in Ireland. The progressive approach, thought leadership, and commitment to food experiences that go ‘beyond the plate’ made this opportunity very appealing. I look forward to building momentum with the team and driving the culinary vision forward.”
Managing Director for Gather & Gather Ireland, Pauline Cox, said,
“Steve shares our passion for seasonal produce, purposeful food, and empowering kitchen teams. He brings a wealth of experience and a fresh perspective. We’re delighted to welcome him back to lead our talented culinary team in Ireland.”
Pauline also expanded her gratitude to Steve’s predecessor, Mark Anderson,
“With every beginning comes an end. Mark will be moving to a role with our key client LinkedIn, as Programme Manager for EMEA. Mark has been a driving force behind everything that makes Gather & Gather Ireland special. From championing local producers and pioneering sustainability initiatives to curating unforgettable food experiences and nurturing our teams, his impact has been profound. Whether leading zero-waste kitchen efforts or celebrating Irish food culture, Mark has reminded us that how we make people feel truly matters. We wish him the very best of luck in his next chapter”.
Steve Land will commence his role as Culinary Director in August 2025.
