Young Chef of the Year

Following the recent news of being awarded 3 AA Rosettes for a second year, our team have been given an extra reason to celebrate!

Our talented Commis Chef, Katie Allan, has made it to the finals of the prestigious Delifresh – Young Chef of the Year’ competition.

Katie not only wowed the judges but completely stole the show. Finishing 1st, she was awarded a near-perfect score of 44/45 by none other than the legendary Pierre Koffmann—yes, you read that right! A three Michelin-starred culinary icon, Koffmann had nothing but praise for Katie’s demonstrated skills, leaving us all bursting with pride.

We’ve all witnessed Katie’s willingness to learn & dedication for creating stand-out dishes. We’re thrilled to see her work at this early stage, recognised on such a grand stage.

As we look forward to the finals, the excitement is building across the entire hotel.

Feel free to congratulate Katie when you dine with us or raise a glass in her honour at The Lantern Room.

Keep an eye out for updates as Katie heads towards what we’re sure will be a show-stopping finale, we’ll be cheering her on every step of the way!
