Fergus Henderson OBE (born 31 July 1963[2]) is an English chef who founded the restaurant St John on St John Street in London. He is often noted for his use of offal and other neglected cuts of meat as a consequence of his philosophy of nose to tail eating. Following in the footsteps of his parents, Brian and Elizabeth Henderson, he trained as an architect at the Architectural Association in London.[3][4] Most of his dishes are derived from traditional British cuisine and the wines are all French.

Fergus is married to fellow chef Margot Henderson; the couple have three children.[6]
