After culinary school he began working under Keith Stanley at The Ritz London Hotel, at the age of 17 in 1990. He was staying in shared accommodation, and met a fellow chef who was working at Nico Ladenis' restaurant. Drake went for an interview and gained a job there, staying for a year. He moved to work at Pied à Terre under Tom Aikens during the period when Aikens had just taken over from the previous chef. He only stayed for a few months an interviewed for a job at the Oak Room, working for Marco Pierre White. On his first day there, his job was to prep the tomatoes for a crab dish. On the second day a chef on the fish section left, and White placed Drake onto the section, where he stayed for the rest of the time at the restaurant.〔 After Gordon Ramsay left Aubergine, Drake was brought in as a sous chef under William Drabbel for the reopening of the restaurant. He left the restaurant to go become a head chef at Drake's on the Pond in Abinger Hammer, Surrey.〔 Whilst he was there, Drake won the Roux Scholarship in 2001 and travelled to France to work at L’Auberge De L’Eridan.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.rouxscholarship.co.uk/past_winners/SteveDrake.php )〕 It was the third time that Drake had reached the final of the scholarship, having done so previously in both 1999 and 2000.
