Seaham Hall Welcomes New Restaurant Manager
One of the
hospitality industry's most senior managers has returned to his North East
roots after joining the team at a top, five star hotel.
Ben Hunt,
originally from Yarm, who has more than 20 years' experience at some of the
country's leading hotels, has been appointed Restaurants and Bars Manager at
Seaham Hall Hotel and Spa, County Durham.
Ben, 38,
joins Seaham Hall from five star Luton Hoo Hotel, Bedfordshire, having also
previously held senior positions at Calcot Manor, Gloucestershire, four star
Crathorne Hall in North Yorkshire and Ashdown Park Spa Hotel, East Sussex.
In his new
position he will be responsible for ensuring the smooth running of the hotel's
two AA rosettes Byron's Bar and Grill and the pan Asian Ozone restaurant within
its award winning Serenity Spa.
“It's
wonderful not only to be back in the North East but to be at Seaham Hall,” said
the father of one; a keen golfer and Liverpool FC fan, “as I've been watching
its development with interest and always aspired to work here.
“The standard
of the food and beverage offering is exceptionally high and I am looking
forward to working closely with executive chef Simon Bolsover to strengthen its
reputation for superb – yet affordable – dining.”
Seaham Hall
recently unveiled the results of the £100,000 refurbishment of its Ballroom,
which is one of County Durham's foremost function venues.
This followed
the development earlier this year of its Taittinger Sports Lounge and Byron's
Bar & Grill and the redecoration is now underway of the hotel's 20
individually designed suites.
Ross Grieve,
Seaham Hall Hotel's general manager, said: “Ben joins us at a very exciting
time as the hotel has regained its five star status and is, once again, at the
forefront of the region's leisure and hospitality industry.”
