Daniel Putz
Excutive Chef
dputz@rchmail.comI have been a chef for more than half my life, with experience in Southeast Asia and The Ritz London. My aim is to make great, classic, modern British food that’s seasonal and suitable for everyone. For me, the seasons are defined by food and it’s important to stay in touch with local suppliers and producers. I want to give all of our guests an extraordinary experience, including our vegan and vegetarian guests, by shining a light on plant-based cooking.
