Award winning chef Brett Sutton will be leaving the Eastbury Hotel in Sherborne .
Over his eight years as Executive Chef of The Eastbury, Sutton has been awarded many of the top accolades in the South West, including Best Eating Out Experience, Silver for Best Small Hotel in Dorset and winner of the Dorset Tourism Awards.
Sutton’s new venture will be the White Post Pub and rooms at Rimpton, near Marston Magna in Somerset.
The pub is well known for straddling the borders of both Dorset and Somerset, and originally customers would move from one bar to the other to take advantage of the two counties’ different licence times.
Currently the pub is approximately 70% drink sales and 30% food, but Sutton aims to switch this round, and will emphasise locally sourced produce, which will be supplemented with
Small Contribution. Big Impact.
The Staff Canteen has always been more than a website—it’s a community, built by and for hospitality. We share the wins, the challenges, the graft, and the inspiration that keeps kitchens alive.
We believe in staying open to everyone, but creating this content takes real resources. If you’ve ever found value here—whether it’s a recipe, an interview, or a laugh when you needed it most—consider giving just £3 to keep it going.
A little from you keeps this space free for all. Let’s keep lifting the industry, together.
