Why Newick Park employed Chris Moore - Head Chef

Chris Moore- Head Chef - Newick Park Hotel
After completing my catering qualifications at college I worked gaining experience at different establishments throughout the UK until I was given the opportunity to take my skills to Australia where I worked around the country gaining knowledge as how to create dishes with a wide variety of diverse ingredients.
On returning back to England, I decided to settle my roots in Sussex and found work at the multi award winning Hotel du Vin in Tunbridge Wells where I started as a Chef de Partie and completed by 9 years of employment there as Head Chef, a position I had retained for 3 years.

I had been informed that Newick Park Hotel were looking for a Head Chef and having spent many happy years at Hotel du Vin I felt a change was as good as a rest and took the position as Head Chef in August 2004. The hotel has progressed through the years were I achieved a 3 AA rosette status which I retained for multiple years.
I have great flexibility in what I cook in the kitchen and I use many ingredients from the estate to create my menus
