About the Business

Back in 1998 Derek Marshall had a concept for a restaurant that would let produce speak for itself. Gamba was to become about the simple cooking of fantastic produce and over a decade on, the ethos is still the same. A modern new elegantly styled restaurant complements Derek's elegant, classic but modern style of cooking.

Gamba's cookbook echoes Derek's concept for the restaurant, 'Simple Cooking' where the secret of the famous Gamba's fish soup is untold.
