Piping Hot News

As our chef Kevin Dalgleish moves onto a new venture this Spring, we’re looking back over his time in the kitchen at The Chester Hotel.

Join us in looking back at some of Kevin’s highlights:

Signature Dish

Kevin and the whole kitchen team have worked alongside some of the country’s greatest chefs and in the process has helped us to raise almost a million pounds for local charities.

He’s worked with more than baker’s dozen of Signature chefs:

  • Variety was the spice of life in the kitchen with Michelin-starred Atul Kochhar.

  • Seems like Kevin was ‘ hands off’ leaving the The Yummie Brummie, Glynn Purnell, to do all the work!

Having your cake …

We can’t forget the day Kevin and the team managed to serve 200 afternoon teas. Did they manage?  ….

It was a piece of cake!

Head Banger

He thought it was the ‘wurst’ joke when we suggested that he cook thousands of German sausages outside in the marquee in December!
