About Our Chef

Award winning Head Chef John Schwarz and his team of fourteen chefs take much time and trouble to source the very best in fresh local produce with game, fish and prime cuts of meats featuring on our menus.

John's cuisine is best described as modern British. His dishes are presented with simple yet attractive ingredients, with a 'no garnishing for garnishing sake' approach. His philosophy is that everything on the plate should be there for a reason.
