Ryan Swift, Head Chef, The Belfry Hotel & Resort

The Belfry Hotel & Resort has recently appointed new Head Chef, Ryan Swift, at their signature Ryder Grill restaurant, adding to its already highly-acclaimed and well-respected culinary team operating across three  restaurants at the resort.

Working in the gastronomy industry for over fourteen years, most notably at Michelin Star restaurant Hambleton Hall and also at Mallory Court which boasts three AA Rosettes, Swift’s trade has been crafted at some of England’s finest restaurants.

Having also been taught by some of Europe’s best chefs in Simon Haigh and Aaron Patterson, Swift will bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to The Ryder Grill where he will oversee the creation of new dishes, introducing fresh ideas adding to the ever-growing reputation of The Belfry culinary experience.

Speaking of his new appointment, Swift commented; “It’s a real honour and a privilege to be appointed the new head chef of The Ryder Grill. Being from Tamworth I have always known about The Belfry with its long-standing reputation for excellence and so I am delighted to be starting here and cannot wait to get stuck in.”

With three top class restaurants including the fine-dining a la carte Ryder Grill, as well as Sam’s Clubhouse and Rocca’s Pizza Pasta, The Belfry Hotel & Resort ensures quality dining for all those staying there.

Set against the backdrop of 550 acres of North Warwickshire countryside, yet still just 20 minutes outside of Birmingham city centre, The Belfry Hotel & Resort is a stunning setting and is the perfect destination for couples or families looking to make use of the vast number of leisure facilities, as well as a hotly sought-after location for conferences, meetings and events.

Having been named England’s Leading Resort at The World Travel Awards for three consecutive years, The Belfry has developed a name for excellence in the hospitality industry, attracting visitors from all over the world. With high quality facilities and leisure attractions, coupled with services of a similar standard, the resort has maintained its position amongst Europe’s elite. The appointment of Ryan Swift looks set to enhance and maintain the world-class offerings at the resort even further.
