"I'm so excited to be taking on the next stage of my career within the Tom Kerridge Group and opening a new site. Tom has taught me so much about proper gastropub dining and what it is to create truly brilliant food within the context of a pub menu - I can't wait to bring everything I've learned to Chelsea for The Chalk Freehouse."
