Brendan Fyldes named executive chef at the Beaumont Mayfair

Brendan Fyldes has been appointed executive chef at the five-AA-star Beaumont Mayfair hotel in London.

He will oversee the launch of several new dining concepts, which are set to launch later this year following the completion of a major three-year redevelopment of the hotel in 2024.

Fyldes joins from a role as chef director at contract caterer Greene & Fortune and previously worked as executive chef for Gary Neville’s GG Hospitality.

His appointment marks the fourth time he has worked with the Beaumont’s chief executive Stuart Procter, who took over leadership of the hotel last year, the first of which was at Michelin-starred Northcote in Lancashire.

During his career Fyldes cooked at L’Escargot with Marco Pierre White, helped launch Bentleys with Richard Corrigan and was executive chef at the Stafford London.

Procter said: “Having known and worked with him for many years, I have no doubt that Brendan’s passion and expertise will elevate our food offering to even higher standards, with stand-out menus that embrace seasonality.

“Additionally, with a restaurant relaunch and other exiting projects planned for this year, Brendan joins the team at a very exciting moment, and I can’t wait to see what he will bring to the table – literally, as well as figuratively.”

The three-year expansion of the 101-room Beaumont saw the addition of a new 29-room wing and the addition of all guestrooms, restaurants and bars.

Fyldes added: “I have some ideas that I’m looking forward to introducing, and I hope our guests will be as excited to try them, as I am to create them.”
