Michelin-starred hotel restaurant Northcote has appointed Liam Rogers as head chef, following the departure of Danny Young.
Rogers will be working under Lisa Goodwin-Allen and will head up the kitchen at the 26-room hotel, which hosts the yearly Obsession food festival.
In the past, Rogers held the positions of sous chef at the two-Michelin-starred Restaurant Sat Bains in Nottingham and chef de partie at the two-Michelin-starred Restaurant Andrew Fairlie at Gleneagles in Scotland. He was also one of the finalists in the 2021 series of MasterChef: the Professionals.
Rogers, who assumed the position of head chef in January, stated that working with Goodwin-Allen had drawn him to the position and that joining Northcote was one of his finest career achievements.
He said: “Lisa is an amazing person and she’s a great chef and I loved watching her on Great British Menu. She judged me on MasterChef too and she gave me good feedback which really stood out.”
Lisa Goodwin-Allen, executive chef of Michelin star restaurant Northcote and director of The Game Bird and American Bar at The Stafford said: “Liam is a highly motivated individual with the drive and ambition to learn all skills required to succeed, which I spotted when he was on MasterChef, he stood out to me as someone who was very creative, focused and calm, which is the type of chef that I want in my kitchen.
“Liam is also passionate about nurturing the team, as am I, so I am confident we will work well together. I’m very excited for him to join my team and seeing what the future has in store for Northcote.”
