Adam Spicer, a 2019 MasterChef: The Professionals finalist, has been appointed head chef of the Greyhound Inn in Pettistree, Suffolk.
Spicer previously worked as head chef at the Great Barn restaurant at Retreat East in Suffolk; sous chef at the Tackroom and the Jockey Club Rooms in Newmarket; and head chef at All Saints Hotel in Bury Saint Edmunds.
At the Greyhound, he will continue to showcase Suffolk produce and work closely with local suppliers who will help him build a weekly menu.
His style of food has been described as serving traditional English dishes infused with European influences, with a particular focus on game, offal and nose to tail cookery.
Spicer's menu will also feature freshly picked vegetables and fruits from small local farms.
Dishes for the 20 September menu include cold roast shoulder of pork, anchovies, capers and aioli; beetroot, pearl barley, cow’s curd and chard; and custard tart with green rhubarb.
