Luxury Worcestershire hotel Colwall Park has announced the appointment of Steve Rimmer as its new head chef.
Rimmer joined the hotel on 1 February and has already begun revolutionising the hotel’s food offering.
He has over 30 years in the hospitality industry and enjoys cooking everything from Thai to French cuisines.
He has developed a seven course tasting menu at the hotel consisting of modern British cuisine.
Rimmer said: “I’m delighted to be joining the team at Colwall Park and can’t wait to get stuck in, building upon and growing the hotel’s reputation for service and hospitality. My aim now is to help make the hotel known for its food, not just in Colwall but across Malvern too.
“What I love most about this job is that every day is different. It’s so easy to find inspiration; I get it from the seasons, particularly autumn; watching tv shows and Instagram. There are some brilliant people on social media sharing lots of ideas, so it’s always a fun challenge to either replicate or put my own spin on what I see on there.”
He added: “There are quite a lot of misconceptions about the restaurant / hospitality industry. As a result of what they see on TV, a lot of people can think you shout a lot as a head chef, but that’s not me.
“I’ve had some great achievements too – one that sticks out was stepping up back in the day and going from sous chef to head chef in my first job and maintaining three rosettes. I’m very proud of that.”
Colwall Park is an award-winning, dog friendly hotel in the Malvern hills.
