“There is really nowhere finer for food”

Meet our Head Chef, John Brandon

Meet our Head Chef, John Brandon

“I can’t remember not being interested in food, my mother was a dreadful cook and I think I became involved to avoid malnutrition, I was cooking for my family at age 8/9.

Started working as a kitchen porter when I was 14 and gradually moved through the kitchen until I began my apprenticeship at the Savoy at the age of 16 for 3 years.

Following my apprenticeship I worked in Geneva at the Nogay Hilton under Giles Dupont (3* Michelin), then to Annecy at La Genotier (1* Michelin)  then to Pieve di Castello in Tuscany.

Back in the UK…

I worked in Surrey for 5 years before returning to London where I worked at L’Orangere (1* Michelin) on St James’ under Marcus Wareing, the Conran group at Bibendum under Simon Hopkinson, Quaglino’s, under Henrik Iversen & Julian O’Neill where I was involved in the openings of several other Conran properties – Berns Hotel in Stockholm, Gustavinos in Manhattan, the Almeida in Islington and the Great Eastern Hotel in Liverpool St.

I then opened the first Conran restaurant in Scotland at The Ocean Terminal in Leith (Edinburgh) and remained there until Conran’s second Scottish property opened in Glasgow on Princes Square.  I was Head Chef at Wedderburn Castle in the Scottish Borders, and Archerfield links in East Lothian, then opened The Waterloo Place Hotel in Edinburgh.

Then moved back to England and have worked locally, and of note at:

The Elms Hotel & Spa, Abberley

Head Chef, Gastro Pub, Lower Broadheath, Worcester

Le Manoir Au Quatre Saison, Great Milton Oxon (2* Michelin)

Waterside Inn, Bray Berks (2* Michelin)”
