Start PlanningThe Soul of the Socarrat
With over a decade of professional kitchen experience, Jonathan Hill brings a disciplined yet expressive approach to his craft. For the past six years he has been based in Norway, where a deep appreciation for landscape and seasonality continues to shape his cooking.
He has held senior positions across a range of establishments, including three years as Head Chef of a respected small plates and wine restaurant - refining a style rooted in precision, balance, and social dining. His work has extended to large-scale catering at events such as Glastonbury Festival, where organisation, consistency, and quality must meet at scale.

Executive Chef
A Focused Expression
Internationally, Jonathan has undertaken culinary masterclasses in Valencia, New Orleans, London and Vietnam - experiences that deepened his understanding of regional technique, fire-led cooking, and communal food culture.
SOCARRAT was created as a focused expression of that journey.
Through flame, rice, and carefully composed small plates, Jonathan brings together Spanish culinary heritage and the Norwegian landscape - creating food designed not only to be eaten, but to be gathered around.
