Chefs
The Chefs tag explores the role of culinary talent in shaping the hospitality offer within UK hotels. Our coverage looks at how chefs contribute to guest experience, brand identity, and commercial performance — from designing menus and leading kitchen brigades to driving sustainability and innovation. We report on appointments, training initiatives, and evolving expectations around food provenance, dietary diversity, and kitchen leadership. This tag also tracks how hotels attract and retain top culinary professionals in a competitive talent market.
