Grantley Hall has appointed Andy Lynam as its new head chef of bar and restaurant EightyEight, the hotel’s pan-Asian dining experience.
Lynam joined the luxury hotel’s culinary team in 2024 as sous chef and “quickly established himself as a driving force” in the EightyEight kitchen.
Grantley Hall said that he brings a “refined, modern approach” to ingredient-led cooking in the new role.
His cooking is inspired by childhood holidays to France and his career journey that includes positions at some of the UK’s most renowned establishments, such as The Box Tree in Ilkley, The Wild Rabbit in the Cotswolds, and The Devonshire Arms at Bolton Abbey.
Lynam said: “EightyEight is such a special place to cook – it’s a space that allows for playfulness and creativity while respecting quality and provenance. I’m honoured to take on this new role and am looking forward to leading our talented team as we craft a new seasonal menu that showcases the best of what we do.”
Bar and Restaurant EightyEight at Grantley Hall offers a “unique blend” of traditional Asian flavours reimagined through contemporary techniques and local ingredients, served in a modern setting overlooking the ornamental Japanese Garden.
