London hotel, The Biltmore, located in Mayfair, has announced the appointment of Paul Walsh as the venue’s new executive chef after Jason Atherton, its former chef, announced his “amicable” parting from the hotel’s dining outlets, Café Biltmore and The Tea Lounge.
Following a three year partnership, Atherton reportedly helped launch The Biltmore Hotel on its opening in 2019, and brought his classic training and innovative use of modern British ingredients to The Biltmore Mayfair.
His dishes are said to be inspired by his world travels and use local and sustainable produce.
Walsh, the hotel’s new executive chef, will be taking over the role from September, having worked under Atherton for over a decade. He has also worked in Restaurant Gordon Ramsay and launched the fine wine establishment, 28-50.
Walsh said: “I’m excited to be taking over from Jason fully at one of Mayfair’s prime hotels working with the team at The Biltmore and hope to carry on delivering signature dishes for both our international and London guests to enjoy as well as developing new menus to put my stamp on this new chapter.”
