Tom Scade is the new head chef at The Vineyard Hotel in Berkshire

The Vineyard Group are delighted to announce that Tom Scade has been appointed as Executive Chef at The Vineyard, Stockcross.

Tom is joining the hotel from The Ritz Hotel in London where he is Sous Chef to John Williams MBE. Tom had trained initially under John Williams before going off and running his own business as Chef/General Manager at The Mariners Rock in Cornwall. He was also Head Chef for two Michelin star chef, Martin Blunos in Bath, and then opened The Crab and Boar in Chieveley as Head Chef. Tom returned to The Ritz as Sous Chef in 2016, the year the hotel gained its first ever Michelin star.

Andrew McKenzie, Managing Director of The Vineyard Group says “I first met Tom at the Crab and Boar and loved his food. When the opportunity arose to bring him to The Vineyard I was delighted. He has trained under the one of the best chefs and kitchen managers in the world so has developed a disciplined approach to cooking; he also has a great, imaginative palate – a winning combo you rarely come across and one that makes me very excited for the future at The Vineyard!”
