Luke Thomas

In 2019, Thomas relaunched the Soho members club first formed as The Club in 1764, and historically known as Black's since 1992, as both head chef and co-owner of the restored Georgian style building designed and built in 1732 as a four story townhouse for the infamous London neighborhood.

In 2014, Thomas found time between the opening of his two Retro Feasts pop-up restaurants to release his first hardcover cookbook with Penguin Publishing titled Luke's Cookbook: 100 Classic Favourites Given a Modern Makeover.

In 2013, Thomas opened a pop-up restaurant for six months in Mayfair, London, alongside hotelier Mark Fuller. He later followed that up by opening another pop-up restaurant with Fuller in Dubai in 2015, both known collectively as Retro Feasts.

In 2012, at the age of 18, Thomas became the youngest head chef in the United Kingdom when he took over at a restaurant in Cookham. The restaurant was originally called Sanctum on the Green, but was renamed to Luke's Fine Dining at Sanctum on the Green before being shortened to simply Luke's Dining Room under the direction of Thomas. This notable event was filmed for television by the BBC Three for a documentary series titled Britain's Youngest Chef, and although this was the first time for Thomas to be filmed for television, his first actual television appearance to air as a celebrity chef was as an expert on the British television series Junior MasterChef followed by an appearance on British television comedian Russell Howard's Good News.

Thomas also competed as a chef on the Great British Menu television series in 2012 against chef Mary Ann Gilchrist and chef Richard Davies, where he became the youngest competitor to ever appear on the show.

In 2009, at the age of 15, Thomas won the FutureChef competition by Springboard in the United Kingdom.
