Adam Gray grew up in East Haddon, Northamptonshire. He attended Northampton College where he completed a three-year day release City and Guilds Catering Course whilst working full time at The Red Lion in East Haddon, and then at Broomhill Hotel in Spratton.

Shortly after 1989, Adam moved to London to embark on his career working for Bruno Loubet at the Four Seasons Hotel on Park Lane until 1992. After a short spell in Melbourne, Australia, Adam returned to the UK to work at the world-famous Le Manoir aux Quat’ Saisons in Oxfordshire for two years.

In 2001, Adam met Gary Rhodes, and has worked with Gary ever since. Firstly, Adam was appointed Head Chef at City Rhodes until 2003, where he maintained a Michelin star. Adam went on to open the new restaurant Rhodes Twenty Four at Tower 42 in the heart of the city of London. Under his direction the restaurant was awarded the BMW Best New Restaurant in the 2004 spring edition of The Square Meal Guide and in 2005 Rhodes Twenty Four was awarded a Michelin star.
