Chefs

Paul is Head Chef at the award-winning White Hart at Fyfield, bringing both talent
and passion to the kitchen. Committed to sustainability and sourcing local
ingredients, he is a chef with a strong ethical approach to food.

He began his culinary career in London, where he built an impressive résumé before
moving to The Pack Horse in Hayfield. There, his leadership propelled the restaurant
to No. 18 on the Estrella Top 50 list.

Now in Oxfordshire, Paul has joined Kay and Mark Chandler at The White Hart,
adding his flair to the vibrant local food scene. Sharing their passion for everything
local, Paul often forages in nearby woods and hedgerows for seasonal ingredients,
while the pub’s thriving kitchen garden also plays a key role in his menus.

Housed in a beautiful 15th-century chantry, The White Hart is not only a culinary
destination but also a welcoming hub for the village and somewhere to stop for a pint
at the end of a long day.

The accolades speak for themselves: in addition to holding 2 AA Rosettes for 19
consecutive years, The White Hart’s awards this year include The Estrella One To
Watch, the Good Food Guide Top 50 Sunday Roasts, and Gastropub of the Year for
South East England.
