Ben Fisher, head chef, The Gallivant
Ben Fisher has been appointed as head chef at The Gallivant restaurant situated in Camber in Rye, East Sussex.
Having worked in some of the world’s leading restaurants including The French Laundry in California (three Michelin stars) and as sous chef at Tom Aiken’s Restaurant (one Michelin Star), Fisher recently relocated to Rye with his young family. He has been working alongside Trevor Hambley for the previous six months and was instrumental in helping The Gallivant achieve its second rosette this November.
Fisher now has his eyes fixed on the lawn to the rear of The Gallivant hotel, where he would love to site a greenhouse and vegetable patch. In addition to using the best ingredients, Fisher said the secret to a good kitchen is a 'happy' kitchen - something he learned directly from Thomas Keller.
