Led by chef patron Chris Chatfield our kitchen team crafts each dish to perfection, showcasing the finest locally sourced fresh ingredients to ensure every bite is a celebration of the southwest’s flavours.
Chris has worked for over 20 years in the industry. Like many great chefs he started as a young teenager helping out in the kitchen with pot wash and general assisting. His love of food and the artistry around it grew from there and he decided to pursue his dream of becoming a chef.
Chris started his career at Langdon Court Hotel (4 star, 2 Rosette) restaurant in his home town of Plymouth before he had an opportunity at the Celtic Manor Resort Wales ( 3 Rosette). Chris then moved back to Devon where his heart really is and became Snr Sous at the Horn Of Plenty (4 star, 3 rosette) and as chef for Michal Cains. His latest positions have been as Exec Chef for the Alexander Hotel in Lyme Regis before moving across as exec chef for Winslade Manor.
Among his many accolades as one of the top chefs in the South West, Chris has also cooked for many famous people including Gordon Ramsey, Michael Caines, Raymond Blanc, Singer, Ellie Golding, sports stars Tim Henman, and Lawrence Dallaglio. To name but a few!
Chris has a passion for local produce and supporting Devon's strong agriculture and fishing heritage. Working closely with local farmers and suppliers he brings a real taste of devon with the finest ingredients and artistry to his menu.
