Pete Gray appointed head chef at Heston Blumenthal's Hind Head in Bray

Following a year of exciting changes at Heston Blumenthal's Hind's Head, which has seen the evolution of its menu and transformation of the interiors, we’re pleased to announce that the Michelin star restaurant has appointed Pete Gray as the new head chef.

Pete, who has been part of the kitchen team for nearly four years, will take over from current head chef Janos Veres at the end of November. Janos has excelled in the position since 2012, and is leaving to move on to a new chapter.

Yorkshire-born Pete's previous experiences span restaurants up and down the country, having previously worked under chefs including Paul Kitching and Adam Simmonds. Pete is excited to take the helm of one of Britain’s most acclaimed rural restaurants and to oversee the intricate and scrupulous menu development that goes into creating every one of Hinds Head's historically inspired dishes.
