Chefs

Malmaison and Hotel du Vin believe in having quality restaurants and kitchens. We believe in the finest locally sourced, ethically produced ingredients. We believe in having fun, but aren't afraid of hard work. But most of all we believe in good, properly trained people.

We believe that you cannot afford to ignore good training, and there is no better place to start, than with the  Malmaison & Hotel du Vin. We start with all the classic cooking methods and techniques, which are the building blocks of any good chef. From there you can achieve a greater appreciation of the profession and set yourself higher standards to aspire to.

Today's chefs want to be head chefs by the age of 21, but don't know how to make mayonnaise or fillet a fish. Malmaison & Hotel du Vin, will teach you these building blocks and can set ability to the individual and giving you realistic development goals for the entire kitchen, whatever your experience.

This is the future for the next generation of chefs and goes someway to guarantee that a future of well-trained quality chefs will continue to run our kitchens!

If you're made of the Raw Stuff, we want to teach you!!
