Hotel restaurant chef of the year 2025
This left me speechless!
To receive this award means so much to me and the team as we move forward and evolve the restaurant. It shows we are heading in the right direction.
I cant be more proud of what we have achieved in such a small amount of time!
Thank you to our lovely guests and the chef community for your on going support!

An incredible achievement for our whole team. It’s been @jackalistair and @beth_bond_ ‘s dream to be listed amongst other amazing restaurants that we admire. We can’t wait to celebrate in June!
Desserts,
Not exactly a strong course for me but super chuffed I managed to improve the dish and make it to some of the chefs top 3.
@ciaranbrennan96 dish hits every level, visually stunning, bang on brief, an iconic classic dessert what’s not to like 👏
It finishes off what will be an epic banquet
Can’t wait to watch you all in the final
