Mark Bradbury (the only Luxury Family Hotels chef who smiles in photos) has travelled the world gaining experience as a Chef but the South West has become his base in recent years and now Woolley Grange are delighted to have him in place as Head Chef.

This is Mark’s first role at the helm, but with experience gained with some of the great Chefs such as Anton Mossiman at the Dorchester, Michael Croft at Mirabelle and 11 years at The Royal Crescent, the opportunity at Woolley was perfect timing for him.

One of the early lessons Mark learnt was to keep food simple and cook in such a way that the flavours come to the fore, using the very best ingredients, less is always more! Woolley Grange has always had a strong ethos when it comes to using local suppliers and seasonal produce from the Organic Kitchen Garden on site and this is one of the things that attracted Mark to the role.

One of the reasons that Mark has settled in the South West is the abundance of great quality suppliers, his time at The Royal Crescent has ensured that he has all the inside knowledge on where to get the best, meat, fish and of course he knows many of the local chef’s .

Of course Woolley Grange is not all fine dining, as part of Luxury Family Hotels there is always a very warm welcome for young diners.
