In this special on-location episode of the Good Food Podcast, join host Samuel Goldsmith as he sits down with the highly respected chef Jackson Boxer at his renowned restaurant, Brunswick House. Jackson shares insights into his culinary career, his daily routines, and the challenges and joys of being a chef and a father. Listen in to hear Jackson's thoughts on cooking for oneself versus cooking for others, his philosophy on food, and his love for simple yet exquisite dishes. Plus, what do his children think of his cooking, his culinary disasters and his favourite dish. Jackson Boxer began his career as a kitchen porter at the age of 16. He continued to pursue cooking jobs while finishing school and completing a degree in English at Cambridge University. After graduating, he joined the opening team at 32 Great Queen Street. After three years, he left to found Brunswick House at the age of 24, together with his brother Frank Boxer. What was initially intended as a six-month pop-up with a 10-seat counter snack bar and a café atmosphere, has grown into a dining room, bar, terrace, three private dining rooms and the cellars – a nascent speakeasy and dance dungeon. In March 2019, Jackson opened Orasay in Notting Hill, inspired by the western isles of Scotland, and now splits his time between the kitchens of Brunswick House and Orasay as Chef Proprietor. In summer 2023, Jackson joined Cowley Manor Experimental, the Experimental Group’s first UK project outside of London, as Chef Consultant for the Cotswolds-based hotel. In September 2023, Jackson opened Jackson Boxer at the Corner restaurant on the second floor of Selfridges, Oxford Street. In 2024, he opened his newest restaurant in Covent Garden, Henri.
