Patrick Clayton-Malone is a dynamic entrepreneur in the creative industries, currently serving as the Founding Director of Canteen, a pioneering British diner that champions the essence of Great British food. With a rich background in production and branding, Patrick has successfully merged his creative vision with culinary excellence. His previous ventures include establishing a production company that collaborated with iconic brands like Gorillaz, Levi’s, and Orange, and earning a prestigious D&AD gold pencil for Sony’s inaugural online video campaign.
At Canteen, Patrick and co-founder Dom Lake identified a significant gap in the market for authentic British dining experiences, leading to the establishment of a restaurant that emphasizes good produce provenance. Under Patrick's leadership, Canteen has become synonymous with quality, sourcing additive-free meat directly from producers committed to ethical animal husbandry and ensuring that fish is delivered fresh from local day boats along the south coast. This commitment to sustainability and quality is reflected in Canteen's menu development, which celebrates traditional British cuisine while incorporating modern culinary techniques.
In addition to his role at Canteen, Patrick co-founded Very Good & Proper, a design and manufacturing company dedicated to creating high-quality products for the restaurant industry. His expertise spans various domains, including hospitality, event management, and branding, making him a well-rounded leader in the food and beverage sector. With a keen eye for design and a passion for culinary innovation, Patrick continues to drive Canteen's mission of delivering exceptional dining experiences that honor British culinary heritage.
