Meet The Team
Co-Founder & Creative Director
Csaba Adamy (aka 'Chubbs') is the heart, soul and driving force behind the entire business. As our customers know, to go to CHUBBS is to love it, and that feeling starts with the man himself.
Opening the original CHUBBS Wine Bar in 2023 (on the very site where the deli now stands), he set out to create a space that felt warm, open and unpretentious. What began as an intimate wine bar quickly became something much bigger — a meeting place for friends, neighbours, and strangers who didn’t stay strangers for long.
Growing up on his parent's vineyard in the heart of Hungary's wine region, you could say that wine is in his blood. An expert sommelier with over 20 years’ experience in high-end hospitality, Chubbs has worked alongside Michelin-starred chefs including Joel Robuchon & John Burton-Race across three continents.
But, beyond titles or accolades, what defines Chubbs is his deep respect for craft. He believes hospitality is about more than food and wine — it’s about atmosphere, belonging and shared experience, where everyone is invited.
That philosophy shapes everything, from the curated wine list to the communal tables and the welcoming buzz of the room.
Retail Director
Whether choosing a bottle for dinner, building a cheeseboard for friends or creating a beautifully considered hamper as a gift, Isobel's always ready to guide you at our Deli & Wine Shop — thoughtfully, generously and without fuss.
Isobel brings a rare blend of commercial insight and genuine warmth to role. With 10 years' experience in hospitality under her belt, Isobel spent over a decade working in business journalism — much of that time at the UK's leading retail media brand, Retail Week.
Working closely with leadership from some of the biggest names in the sector, including Harvey Nichols, Marks & Spencer and Selfridges, Isobel developed a deep understanding of the retail industry from the inside out.
Isobel ensures the shop isn’t just well run — it’s welcoming, personal and full of care.
Co-Founder & Head Chef
Bringing more than two decades of international hospitality experience to CHUBBS — and a level of leadership shaped at the very highest standard — with Andor, excellence is not an ambition, it is the baseline.
Most recently serving as General Manager of the five-star Hotel Azur in Hungary, across his 20-year career Andor has climbed the ranks within globally respected names including the Four Seasons and InterContinental hotel groups.
During his time at luxury hospitality and experiential travel company Belmond, Andor oversaw service on the iconic Orient Express carriages within the UK, an experience that demands precision, grace and an uncompromising commitment to excellence.
Sous Chef
Harry has spent a lifetime in kitchens — not just cooking, but building restaurants, leading teams and shaping menus with confidence and character.
His career includes roles at The Connaught Hotel and the renowned J Sheekey seafood restaurant. Along the way, he holds fond memories of learning from Albert Roux — an experience that left a lasting mark on his respect for craft, discipline and the foundations of classical cooking.
With a style shaped by time spent in France, Canada and Italy, Harry brings an international influence to everything he creates. Deeply committed to sharing his knowledge, Harry works closely with Chubbs to develop the restaurant menu, ensuring every dish and meets the highest standards.
From flavour to process, he keeps the kitchen sharp, consistent and uncompromising.
Front of House Manager
Eva brings warmth, polish and a wealth of hospitality experience to the CHUBBS floor.
Her time spent in high-end restaurants — including The Cadogan Hotel and InterContinental Hotels — has shaped her understanding of refined service, attention to detail and the importance of making every guest feel genuinely cared for.
Versatile and instinctively people-focused, Eva has a natural ability to read a room and create ease. Whether welcoming guests through the door or supporting the team behind the scenes, she ensures that every visit to CHUBBS feels smooth, personal and considered from the very first hello.
Co-Founder & Community Director
Warmly recognised by regulars, much of the spirit, connection and loyalty that surrounds CHUBBS can be traced back to her energy, belief and unwavering support of the dream from the very beginning.
With a successful career in hospitality — as Restaurant Manager for John Burton-Race and Maître d’ at Bar Boulud within both Mandarin Oriental and Rosewood Holborn — those years shaped her instinct for atmosphere, service and the small details that elevate an experience from good to unforgettable.
The quiet force behind both CHUBBS the business and Chubbs the person, Stef plays a vital role in nurturing the voice and culture that defines the brand, managing social media, supporting public relations and championing the brand with effortless authenticity.
Chief Morale Officer
Every great establishment needs someone in charge of morale — and Tyson takes his responsibilities very seriously.
A very good boy by every measurable standard, Tyson is a constant, calming presence at Chubbs. Deeply devoted to Stef and endlessly welcoming to guests, he has a remarkable ability to make everyone feel instantly at ease. Regulars know him well, and newcomers quickly understand why.
As Chief Morale Officer, Tyson specialises in tail wags, quiet companionship and the occasional supervisory wander. He greets, observes and approves — ensuring the atmosphere remains warm, relaxed and full of heart.
