a great believer in just because something is local doesn’t mean it’s going to be a great product. So I’m certainly going to be working closely with my new suppliers and partners to bring the very best produce to Cheshire.”
Mark has been with Peckforton Castle for just over 10 years starting out as senior sous chef before climbing the ranks to become head chef.
He said: “The thing that I love about the castle the most is that it’s always evolving and the family have got a really big vision about where they want to be going forward.”
He continued: “I am excited to bring my vision for exciting and interesting food and drink to Tattenhall, the location is stunning and the locals seem to be getting behind us which is great news. We are there to cater for them first and foremost, but hope to welcome guests from all over.
“The previous owners have done a spectacular job and I hope to build on the success they have had.”
Originally from the Wirral, Mark has trained in numerous 5 star hotels and Michelin-starred restaurants including the Chester Grosvenor Hotel with Simon Radley followed by Petrus for Gordon Ramsay as part of his cook’s tour of the country. He also appeared on the ninth and tenth series of BBC2's, Great British Menu.
