Inspiration behind the menu

Our menu is based on traditional French style cooking with a modern twist. The original Head Chefs that Chris worked under were predominantly French or Swiss which is where this influence comes from.

Chris trained using traditional methods and these, along with the “nouvelle cuisine” style of the 80s, has led him to his culinary creations of today. Having met the Roux family and enjoyed the restaurants of many other fine Chefs, Chris believes his silent mentor would have to be Raymond Blanc at Le Manoir aux Quat Saisons, for his undying enthusiasm and desire to be super creative and in his kitchen every day.

A truly skilled team

Although I have a wealth of experience within the industry, my assistant (Sous Chef) Reece has recently joined us and has the most amazing background in the industry and depth of artistic talent. His pure passion for the theatre of food that we are in is incredible and he brings a wealth of new ideas to the table.

Beautiful to look at and always delicious

Our chefs use local and organic produce wherever possible and because we consistently deliver the highest standards of quality, presentation and flavour, we’ve held 2 rosettes and been Michelin recommended since 2010. We have an experienced and skilled team that bring our menu to life. For us, exceptionally good tasting food is a given, but good presentation is of the utmost importance too as people always eat with their eyes in the first instance.

We have recently taken on using the amazing produce from the nearby Madresfield Estate in Malvern, where over 4500 acres of organic pastures and water meadows produce the most incredible Beef, Lamb and Pork products. The natural flavours really are the most intense that I have ever had the privilege to use in my career as a chef. The farming practices that they are using are quite exemplary and should be applauded.
