Paul Newton, head chef, The Old Palace
Paul Newton is the newly appointed head chef at The Old Palace hotel in Lincoln.
Newton, 42, has brought with him 24 years of experience in the culinary world, 16 of which he has spent working as a head chef.
“Unlike most chefs who spend all their time in the kitchen, I am keen to get more involved with customers by sitting down with them to discuss their requirements and create unique menus, offering different options to give clients something special," he said.
“It’s on a smaller scale than what I was doing before when I was cooking for up to 400 people but at The Old Palace I can focus more on detail and technique as opposed to cooking on a mass scale.”
