Dean Bonwick returns to The Waterside Inn after four and a half years at The Crown

man, obsessed with cooking, pubs and their future. Having previously worked with the toughest of chefs I can say I’m not sure anybody could outwork him. His technique, taste and execution of dishes after a grueling day of mise en place is something else."

As the chef patron Simon Bonwick's son, Dean remains a shareholder of the pub.  His brother George, who has been a restaurant manager at the Burchetts Green gastropub for the past three years, will take over the position of general manager. Prior to this, George worked at The Hand and Flowers and at William Drabble's Aubergine in Chelsea.
