Meet Chef Shanker Pandey, Executive Chef at Everest Inn👨🍳
For over three decades, Chef Shanker has dedicated his life to celebrating the authentic flavours, rich traditions and warm hospitality of Nepal. For the past 22 years at Everest Inn, he has proudly shared his passion for Nepalese cuisine with the UK.
From our much-loved momos and traditional goat curry on the bone to his mother’s treasured egg curry recipe and our popular Lakeside Fish, every dish tells a story. Inspired by recipes from different regions of Nepal, his cooking reflects the richness of our culinary heritage.
His remarkable journey has taken Nepalese cuisine to some of the UK’s most prestigious venues, including 10 Downing Street, the Houses of Parliament, City Hall, St Paul’s Cathedral and numerous embassies.
Chef Shanker has also had the honour of serving renowned personalities, including Joanna Lumley OBE, football legend Sol Campbell, Bollywood superstars Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif, alongside MPs, government ministers and many more distinguished guests. His culinary expertise has also been featured in Rick Stein’s BBC documentary, further celebrating the beauty of Nepalese cuisine.
Above all, our heartfelt thanks go to our wonderful guests and community. ❤️
To everyone who has dined with us, recommended us to friends and family, and supported Everest Inn over the years — your trust and loyalty mean the world to us. You are part of our story, and we are truly grateful.
We look forward to welcoming you again and continuing to share the food, traditions and genuine warmth of Nepal.
