Rockliffe Hall chef joins MCGB
UK: Aaron Craig, one of Rockliffe Hall’s executive chefs, has been accepted as a full member of the Master Chefs of Great Britain (MCGB).
Formed in 1980, the association has an exclusive membership made
up of some of the most notable head chefs, chef/patrons and head
pastry chefs around the country. The MCGB's main aims are the
training and development of young chefs and the promotion of the
best produce available in Britain. Members put particular emphasis
on the use of locally sourced, seasonal foods when preparing their
award winning menus.
Members also work closely with their local colleges, providing
support to students hoping to join the hospitality industry.
Aaron, who heads up The Brasserie restaurant and New Hall dining
at Rockliffe Hall in Hurworth, County Durham, has worked at the
five red star resort for five years.
Before joining Rockliffe Hall, he worked as head chef in a
number of critically acclaimed restaurants, many at 2 or 3 rosette
level, and also worked at Heston Blumenthal's three Michelin Star
Fat Duck restaurant in Bray, Berkshire.
He said: "I am delighted to have been accepted as a full member of
this elite group of chefs. The MCGB puts so much emphasis on
helping develop the next generation of exceptional chefs and I look
forward to working closely with them to support this."
