The Team
The botanical-inspired interior is matched by the inventive culinary direction of head chef, Craig van der Meer. Craig came to Stoke Place from South Africa where he began his career at the 5 star Western Cape Hotel and Spa, via most recently Langshott Manor. Craig's food is modern British, inventive and seasonal. Service is relaxed, friendly and pitched at putting guests at ease. Craig's take on the traditional country house menu is served with an artful twist. Seasonal and locally sourced ingredients are used to create interesting versions of traditional fare.
Craig is joined in the kitchen by his sous-chef Cameron Weyers, also from South Africa Cameron learnt his trade at the 5 star diamond award winning Premiere Restaurant under Executive Olympian Chef Garth Shnier. Cameron shares Craig's passion for innovative cooking with the use of the freshest and best ingredients.
