Buxton Crescent Hotel in the Peak District has appointed Sean Sutton to head up the kitchen at its busy restaurant, The Dining Room.
The restaurant offers classic British cuisine alongside its Grade I restored spa hotel.
Sutton has local roots, and after training at Macclesfield College, he began his career at Alderley Edge Hotel in Cheshire for 14 years, training under celebrated chef Chris Holland and working his way up to head chef.
He then worked for five years as regional executive chef for the Abode Hotels Group, between Manchester and Chester, before becoming head chef at Buxton Crescent Hotel.
The hotel, which features 81 bedrooms and 80 covers in the restaurant, offers a culinary experience from around the British Isles using the best seasonal British ingredients. Dishes range from fresh fish and shellfish, beef and lamb, vegetarian dishes, through to desserts and artisan cheese, and a varied international wine list.
Sutton said: “I am excited to join the team at Buxton Crescent Hotel in the Peak District, where we have our pick of fantastic ingredients and great producers. I’m planning to bring my creative flair and eye to detail to our menus and to create a real destination for food lovers.”
Lewis Howe, director of Sales for Buxton Crescent Hotel, added: “We’re thrilled to welcome Sean to head up our kitchen, where he’ll bring his wealth of experience. We’re looking forward to a new direction in our menus, but with a focus on staying true to our heritage and offering local, seasonal dishes with Sean’s finesse.”
