| | | | The rise of the
chef patron
• It's a common phenomenon in France, where accomplished chefs often run or own properties with accommodation, be they small hotels or 'restaurants with rooms', which seems to be the current terminology.
Until relatively recently, the chef patron hasn't been a common feature of the UK hospitality scene, but that seems to be changing. This week's interviewee, Gareth Ward of Ynyhsir, is one of the new breed of chef patron - transforming the Michelin-starred property with is partner - and GM - Amelia Eriksson.
And recently, Agellus Hotels, which owns a group of hotels and gastropubs in East Anglia, has promoted Lee Bye to chef patron of Tuddenham Mill, a boutique hotel near Newmarket.
There is obviously an element of crossover in the skills needed to run a successful kitchen and a good hotel, but there are also very different ones too, something Bye acknowledges: "I feel it has come at a natural time for me not only in my career but in my life as well. I'm ready to learn and widen my knowledge in business operations and cross over my qualities into leading a food-led style of operation here at Tuddenham Mill. This next step for me is one of challenge and pressure, both of which I love."
With F&B such a central ingredient in the boutique hotel experience, expect to see a new wave of chef patrons revitalising properties around the UK.
