Rajpal Singh has been appointed as Head Chef at DoubleTree by Hilton London Docklands

DoubleTree by Hilton London Docklands has appointed Rajpal Singh as Head Chef. Bringing experience from a host of top hotels and restaurants across the UK and India, Singh joins the newly-refurbished hotel in the heart of the London Docklands as head chef of Columbia restaurant and bar. With a degree in hotel management, Singh has spent the past 20 years in luxury hospitality and catering. Gaining experience in the kitchens of some of the finest hotels in India (Taj Palace, Hyatt Regency New Delhi) before a return to the UK, Singh later held roles at City Inn, Westminster and the Marriot Hanbury Manor in Hertfordshire. Settled in London for the past decade, Singh spent six years as Head Chef at the Tate Modern’s restaurant on the top floor and later Davy’s of London wine bar and restaurant on Plantation Place in the City. At Columbia, Singh will be charged with leading the strong chef team and overseeing service from breakfast to late dinner and in-room dining, banqueting and private event catering, serving a modern British menu punctuated with international influences. Boasting a private river cruise service, London’s only dry dock and breath-taking views, DoubleTree By Hilton London Docklands Riverside also comprises destination riverside restaurant Columbia with an adjoining bar and expansive BBQ terrace. Set within the Grade I-listed Columbia Wharf Building dating back to the 17th Century, both the restaurant and bar are inspired by the area’s naval heritage, mixing modern comfort with maritime charm.
