Meet the Chef
Meet Tonny our chef, when he's not in the kitchen he helps Karen run the School House Hotel.
"My hotel school training and previous experience includes butchery, fish mongery, bakery, patisserie and some 30 years or so cooking. I prepare all our food in our own kitchen. During my training I spent time in a
hospital diet kitchen and can prepare food for all diets given some notice to get specialist ingredients."
"Having worked around Europe I like to cook little known traditional French food, Italian, colonial inspired food as well as Dutch or British. And I will try anything new. We have a temperature controlled food vehicle with which I regularly drive to local producers to see what they have on offer."
"I have come home with wild trout, capons, squirrel, goat, muntjac, locally grown mushrooms, foraged mushrooms and purple carrots, just to name a few. I am very excited about more modern food products like sakura, micro herbs, pea shoots or wheat grass. Edible flowers feature regularly on my menus. Brilliant way to make lovely tasting food look fantastic."
"When I am not cooking I help Karen running the hotel. After which it is book keeping with a bottle of Amarone della Valpolicella. Wine is my favourite tipple and I like to keep a stock of rare and fine wines and mondaine beauties."
