Lloyd the Head chef is a non-player character who heads the Cooks' Guild between Varrock and Gunnarsgrunn<ref name="postbag33">Postbag from the Hedge 33 (28 August 2008)</ref>. He has a sous-chef named Adam Roy Norgs.
As the master of Cooking, he sells the Cooking cape for 99,000 coins.
Postbag from the Hedge
When asked about why he does not cook when he is considered the master of cooking, he replies in a Postbag from the Hedge:
| “ | Since I've attained the rank of Master Chef, I no longer need to cook things myself but simply assign one of my grunts to cook it for me. I'm more of an...arbiter - oh, I like the sound of that - ruling my kitchen with a wooden spoon. I no longer have time for the mere trivialities such as actually cooking.
My time these days is absorbed by holding cooking competitions where I invite 'elite' chefs from around RuneScape to come to my spartan kitchen and cook for me. I then taste their food and critique them. If they manage to make something which I find reaches the laudable standard of 'barely edible by me', I'll hire them as a commis chef and train them in my arcane arts. I still like to dabble in private, just to keep my hand in. If I ever went back to cooking you'd find my smallest hors d'oeuvres a guilty spark of pleasure, my relevés will transport you - in the taste sense rather than the culinaromancy one - to the relaxation of dipping your toes in the balmy seas off Karamja. My main courses will be the apex of the meal and will leave you satisfied for days, no longer needing normal food. Finally, my puddings are the perfect dénouement, providing you with cathartic release from the grip of rapturous abandon created by my food. |

Trivia
- In his reply, he makes numerous references to the Halo series. These include references to grunts, elites, and the Arbiter. There are also mentions of a "Spartan" kitchen. The main protagonist in Halo is the Master Chief, who has a similar title to the Head chef who was previously known as the master chef. He also mentions Guilty Spark, a spherical robot from the first Halo game.
- When buying a Skillcape of Cooking, a sound plays that lets the player know that they can now title themself as Master Chef.
