OUR CHEF AND HIS RECIPES

Our Executive Chef, David Ryan, combines flair and imagination to create truly inspired menus. We are also proud of his status as a Member of The Master Chefs of Great Britain. David has cooked in top London hotels, where Anton Mosimann from The Dorchester Hotel became his main influence, mainly because of his insight into food. David has also worked in France, where regular visits to the big markets enhanced his appreciation of how good food can appeal to all the senses.

After a cooking career spanning over thirty years, David has made his nest at The Swan and his menus very much reflect local, seasonal flavours and an essentially modern British style of cuisine. His motto is “Good food, perfectly cooked…that’s the perfect simplicity”. David is happy to share his knowledge and help answer any culinary queries you may have. Simply email your question to:- headchef@theswanatlavenham.co.uk. Be patient though, he may be busy concocting culinary delights!
