At Sobell House Hospice in Oxfordshire, one chef is making a difference in the most emotional way possible.
Spencer Richards isn’t just cooking meals — he’s creating comfort, joy, and even magic for patients in their final days.
At the start of 2025, an ordinary chef gained attention for a very special mission in England. His name is Spencer Richards, and he often prepares what becomes the final meal for residents at Sobell House Hospice, helping people in the last stage of their lives.
“My own philosophy is that there can be no greater privilege as a chef than serving someone their final meal,” Spencer told The Mirror.
