About Us

Arturo, Henry and David from Cutana

Rooted in Ecuador. Built for London.

The Story Behind Cutana

Cutana takes its name from a traditional stone kitchen tool used in Loja, Ecuador, to grind seeds, grains and spices. To Arturo, who grew up there among farmland and fresh produce, it represents the patience and care behind good food.

Food was part of family life. His parents, Vicente and Yolanda, taught him respect for produce and hard work; his grandmother Regina introduced him to the rhythm of service at her market food stall. Those lessons travelled with him through Spain and into London’s kitchens.

Cutana brings that heritage together with decades of hospitality experience: familiar British and European food, carefully cooked, boldly seasoned and given our own Ecuadorian influence.

Classic favourites. The Cutana way.

From Our Kitchen to Your Table

From our kitchen at The Clement Attlee in Limehouse, we serve the food that defines Cutana today while creating private dining, corporate catering and bespoke events across London.

Behind it is a family combining different generations, skills and experience — all focused on making good food better.

Vision & Standards

Arturo’s journey began in Loja, Ecuador, where food, farming and fresh produce were part of everyday family life. He later moved to Spain, spending a decade living and working there, developing his craft before bringing that experience to London.

In London, more than 20 years in professional kitchens took him from Quaglino’s and Wagamama to Sous Chef at The Savoy Grill and Head Chef at London House within Gordon Ramsay Restaurants. He later led the kitchens at Planty UK and Bancone.

Today, Arturo leads Cutana’s direction and standards. Working closely with Henry, he shapes food influenced by a journey through Ecuador, Spain and London — bringing together familiar British and European cooking, bold flavour and the Ecuadorian character at the heart of Cutana.

Food & Kitchen

Henry’s journey began in Madrid, where running a cocktail bar developed his understanding of flavour, hospitality and the guest experience before his career brought him to London.

In London, he trained at Quaglino’s and spent seven years with Gordon Ramsay Restaurants, most of them at The Savoy Grill. He later moved into high-end catering and events with CH&CO before becoming Head Chef at My & Sané in South Kensington.

Today, Henry leads Cutana’s kitchen and works closely with Arturo on food development, recipes and menus. His role takes ideas from testing and refinement through to consistent service — combining creativity with the discipline needed to make every dish work in a busy kitchen.

Brand & Story

David’s journey with Cutana began from the very start, growing alongside the business and gaining first-hand experience of how food, service and hospitality come together. Work experience at The Savoy Grill and Bancone gave him an early view of professional kitchen standards and the work behind every service.

He has since developed his role around photography, video, social media and brand storytelling, capturing the preparation, people and energy behind Cutana and helping translate what happens in the kitchen into a brand people can discover and follow.

Today, alongside studying Business Management at the University of Essex, David leads Cutana’s marketing and digital presence. As a Co-Founder, he brings a new generation’s perspective to the business while helping shape how Cutana grows, communicates and connects with its audience.
