The Chester Grosvenor has appointed Gareth Jones to the position of Head Chef at its ‘La Brasserie’ restaurant. A former sous chef at the property, who previously worked at The Chester Grosvenor from 2000-2007, Gareth has also occupied senior roles at Bodysgallen Hall and Spa, as well as the Midland Hotel, where he oversaw the launch of Mr Cooper’s House and Garden.
Now returning to The Chester Grosvenor to run the kitchen of La Brasserie, Gareth is delighted to have come full circle and returned to his hometown. “15 years ago I built a relationship with The Chester Grosvenor when in the position of sous chef”, he remarked. “So to return as Head Chef really is a fantastic opportunity.”
Nestled alongside ‘Simon Radley at The Chester Grosvenor’, the hotel’s renowned Michelin-starred restaurant, La Brasserie offers a relaxed Parsian-themed atmosphere, with black leather sofas, sleek granite tabletops and a hand-painted skylight. Serving a range of light bites, as well as an ever-changing á la mode menu, Gareth is looking forward to putting his wide culinary repertoire to good use, having built something of a reputation in recent years via his monthly column in Cheshire Life Magazine.
“La Brasserie presents a fantastic canvas on which to paint”, he continued. “It is a tremendously elegant space, with a history of culinary excellence and a wide ranging, constantly-evolving menu to get my teeth into.”
