Lucy Barber
Restaurant Chef
Lucy has been a qualified chef for fourteen years and with nine years as a Head Chef under her belt, she is no stranger to a fast-paced kitchen. Cooking has been her passion ever since she attended a cookery school at twelve years old and realised that her dream career was to become a chef. Lucy is classically trained and has a wealth of experience in fine dining establishments, such as the renowned Claridge’s under Gordon Ramsay. Yet her heart lies with traditional British pub food, and she specialises in our wonderful native cuisine. In fact, our hugely popular chicken pie is Lucy’s own recipe, and remains her favourite dish on the menu.
