Three Chimneys appoints new head chef
He is returning to The Three Chimneys after 20 years, where his journey began as a young commis chef under Michael Smith back in 2005
The Three Chimneys on the Isle of Skye has appointed Paul Green as its new head chef to lead its kitchen teams.
Green has over 20 years’ international experience under the mentorship of some of the UK’s most acclaimed chefs, including Simon Rogan, Michael Smith, Martin Wishart and Adam Reid.
Most recently he was head chef at the acclaimed Driftwood Hotel in Cornwall and before that he was head chef at the five red starred Torridon Hotel in the Scottish Highland.
He is returning to The Three Chimneys after 20 years, where his journey began as a young commis chef under Michael Smith back in 2005.
Green said: “The Three Chimneys is where my passion for Scottish produce really ignited. Coming back to the island almost 20 years later as head chef has an even greater personal significance for me and an achievement that I’m extremely proud of.
“Ultimately, I aspire to build on The Three Chimneys’ long-established reputation. Skye is unashamedly blessed with an abundance of local seafood, often sourced from the shores right in front of the restaurant. This amazing seafood will be a headline feature on our menus alongside fresh game, meats and locally foraged produce. My philosophy is that every dish must focus on the best cuts, presented simply and ensuring that the flavour of these wonderful ingredients is at the forefront of each dish.”
Brett Davidge, managing director of The Wee Hotel Company, added: “We’re really excited to welcome Paul back to The Three Chimneys after 20 years honing his culinary experience around the UK. His leadership and refreshingly simple, flavour first philosophy will play a key role in our continued legacy.
“As new head chef, Paul will lead our committed and talented kitchen team at The Three Chimneys, which is widely considered to be one of the world’s leading dining destinations. Paul will also oversee The Three Chimneys at Talisker, our restaurant on the shores of Loch Harport, which is located just 30 minutes’ drive away from our original venue. The Three Chimneys at Talisker offers an array of locally sourced food and drink, including freshly caught seafood, cured meats and cheeses to appeal to the numerous Talisker visitors.”
