Head chef at The Hind’s Head, Pete’s energy, creativity and curiosity make him perfectly suited for the culinary research and development that plays such an important part in the restaurant. Integral to the Hind’s Head is Heston Blumenthal’s philosophy of ‘Question Everything’ – something Pete aims to uphold every day in his kitchen. His curated menu is seasonal, and Peter constantly strives to re-imagine the best of traditional British cooking.

Pete says: ‘I have free reign to come up with ideas and put dishes forward for the menu, although it takes quite a bit of time for that to happen because we like to ensure everything about a dish is perfect before it’s served to customers. We’re always refining and tweaking existing dishes to ensure they’re as good as they can be.’

Pete has proved himself to be more than capable of the job, and The Hind’s Head continues to be a destination restaurant that serves incredible British classics with a quirky Heston twist. The dishes themselves might look simple, but the amount of work that goes into ensuring every plate that leaves the pass is perfect as can be is astounding.
