Chef Gary Jones wins Special Award at Craft Guild of Chefs Awards
The Craft Guild of Chefs Awards recognise the exceptional talent across the whole of the hospitality industry.
Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons has revealed its head chef Gary Jones has been honoured with a ‘Special Award’ at the Craft Guild of Chefs Awards 2022.
The Special Award is in recognition of going “above and beyond” in his career, which has had a “major impact and influence on the British chef scene”.
The Craft Guild of Chefs Awards recognise the “exceptional talent across the whole of the hospitality industry”, including apprentices and young chefs and chefs who are established in their careers in hospitality, pubs and restaurants.
Steve Munkley, vice president of the Craft Guild of Chefs, said: “This has been a year of exceptional challenges and I am so proud to see that we have so many worthy winners. This year we made a special award to recognise someone who went above and beyond during the pandemic.
“I believe that we have identified such a worthy winner in Gary Jones, he is a real role model in the industry, he looks to encourage and develop young talent, whilst still being mindful of their own wellbeing.”
Matt Owens, chair of the Craft Guild of Chefs, added: “This is a scheme which has brought together two great organisations who, with their combined membership, can really make a difference.”
