Following the appointments of a new head chef and two sous chefs, all from Michelin-star backgrounds, Lords of the Manor is now ready to start a new culinary chapter.

Head chef Richard Edwards joins Lords of the Manor from the Michelin star, five AA Red Star, three AA Rosette Lucknam Park Hotel & Spa, where he worked for three years as senior sous chef, quickly rising to head chef.

Prior to this he spent two years at the Michelin-star Mallory Court Hotel that also holds three AA Rosettes. He also did stages at Heston Blumenthal’s three Michelin star the Fat Duck in Bray and Philip Howard’s two Michelin star the Square in Mayfair.

The two newly appointed sous chefs, who both join from Michelin-star backgrounds are, Paul Evans who spent three years at the Crown at Whitebrook, plus a year at Hibiscus in Mayfair. Chris Weatherstone was previously at Simpsons in Birmingham for five years.

Paul Thompson, general manager of Lords of the Manor said: “This is an incredibly exciting time for Lords of the Manor as we are now in a position to move the restaurant and our dining experience to new heights. We have made a huge commitment and investment in our kitchen brigade with the view to taking our restaurant to the next level.”
