Up until the time when Le Gavroche was founded, only the very top rated London hotels trained apprentices and young chefs in order to train them to the very peak of the French culinary art.
As a consequence, many of today's top rated and multi-starred chefs have passed through the Roux kitchens, for example; Pierre Koffman, Gordon Ramsay, Marcus Waring and Philip Howard. There can be few countries where good French food is served that does not boast of a number of Roux trained chefs.
