People on the Move in Hospitality: December 2011

John Calton, head chef, Harbour Lights pub

John Calton, who made the final three of BBC’s Masterchef: The Professionals 2010, has been appointed head chef at the Harbour Lights pub in his home town of South Shields.

“It is the first time I have worked in South shields since I was 18 at the Little Haven Hotel,” said Calton. “It is great to come home. I have always worked away, now is a good opportunity to return. It just seemed like the right time.”

The Punch Taverns-owned pub in Lawe Road has recently just re-opened. Calton is supported in the kitchen by experienced sous chef Graeme Atkinson and landlord and former chef Craig Shelmerdine.
