Paul Mason has been appointed Executive Chef at The Mitre in Surrey
Boutique luxury hotel brand The Signet Collection is delighted to appoint Paul Mason as Executive Chef at The Mitre in Hampton Court. The restaurants have pride of place at the boutique hotel, set on the River Thames, which plays host to two restaurants and bars, Coppernose and The 1665 Riverside Brasserie. Embarking on his new roles, Paul will drive culinary creativity to ensure that the food offerings are 'top notch and inviting'.
Paul joins The Mitre with ten years of training in Michelin and fine dining restaurants and hotels around the UK. From Head Pastry Chef at Thackeray's to stints at Le Gavroche, Tom Aikens and most recently Group Culinary Director at The Grosvenor Collection, Paul's culinary journey is certainly impressive. In addition to this, Paul has spent time aiding private events and wine pairings for The Rothchilds and founded his own company that catered for UHNW clients as well as Stella McCartney, and Selfridges.
In his new role at The Mitre, Paul will create new menus in keeping with the relaxed modern British comfort cooking style that the hotel is known for and are inspired by the history of The Mitre and the surrounding Hampton Court area. Paul will bring his passion for food waste reduction and limiting the impact on the local environment by sourcing seasonal produce locally, often from Hampton Court Palace, across the river, for example.
