The Hotel and Extreme Academy and Grand Central Hotel appointments
The Hotel and Extreme Academy at Watergate Bay in Cornwall has appointed a new executive chef from Fifteen Cornwall.
Neil Haydock joins the hotel and extreme sports academy with experience working at Bluebird in London and Sandy Lane Hotel in Barbados.
He will be responsible for overseeing the food operation at the hotel’s Brasserie, The Living Space Bar and the Beach Hut, creating a locally-sourced and seasonal menu featuring modern European dishes.
He said: “Cornwall is home to such an abundance of incredibly fresh food and I want to share my passion and enthusiasm for it with everyone who comes to the Bay.”
Grand Central Hotel
Meanwhile, The Grand Central Hotel in Glasgow has reappointed James Murphy as executive chef, 30 years after he left the hotel as a commis chef.
Murphy now returns to the hotel as it nears completion of a £20m refurbishment, having earned experience working for 11 years as executive chef of Hilton Glasgow.
He said: “I’m thrilled to be part of the Grand Central’s renaissance. It’s a massive project to be involved in – right now the kitchen is a shell but every chef dreams of being able to fill that shell and I’m relishing every minute of it.”
