The Bradley Hare Inn in Wiltshire has announced the appointment of Daniel Duncan as its new head chef.
Beginning his role in July, Duncan brings a wealth of international culinary experience spanning both sides of the Atlantic.
Having previously worked at Whatley Manor in The Cotswolds, Duncan played an instrumental role in helping the team earn a Michelin Star.
Prior to his time at Whatley Manor, Duncan also served as sous chef at The Elder in Bath.
Duncan’s culinary journey has also been shaped by his experience in the United States having worked at establishments such as Alinea and NEXT/Aviary in Chicago.
Bjorn Annegarn, general manager of The Bradley Hare, said: “We are so excited to have Daniel Duncan join us. I would like our guests to have an indulgent, cosy and authentic countryside experience with us at The Bradley Hare. This philosophy is embodied in the interior design of The Bradley Hare.
“We look forward to Daniel Duncan developing the food style at The Bradley Hare, drawing inspiration from the countryside, our interiors and curating an exceptional dining experience. Daniel Duncan’s extensive experience in America, Europe and here in the UK means he brings a global perspective of the culinary world and we are delighted to have him on board.”
Duncan added: “I am looking forward to joining the incredible team at The Bradley Hare and the creative freedom it will bring. My goal is to create a hyper seasonal menu, using only local ingredients with sustainability at the forefront – I want us to adopt a zero waste policy in the kitchen, using the entire animal as well as whole fruits and vegetables. It is important our guests know exactly where the meat and produce comes from.”
