I look forward to bringing my years of experience in busy hotel restaurants to Rails, ensuring we continue to be responsible and sustainable in our approach and putting my own stamp on the already superb menu.
“I am passionate about creativity, innovation and developing refined dishes with modern twists. Guest satisfaction is the most important aspect of running a successful kitchen and I’m excited to continue to serve food that is prepared and presented to the highest standard.”
