Henry Richard Melville Dimbleby (born May 1970)[1] is a British cookery writer and a co-founder of the Leon Restaurants fast food chain.

Henry Dimbleby is the son of the broadcaster and journalist David Dimbleby and his cookery writer wife, Josceline Dimbleby. He was educated at Eton, where he was a Newcastle scholar and a contemporary of Tory MP Jacob Rees-Mogg,[2][3] and at Oxford University where he read Physics and Philosophy.[4]

He worked for management consultants Bain & Co with his childhood friend John Vincent, and it was there they came up with the idea for Leon.[5]

Dimbleby is a regular cookery columnist for The Guardian.[6]

Leon was co-founded by John Vincent and Henry Dimbleby with chef Allegra McEvedy.[7][8][9][10]
