Speaking after his appointment, Christopher said: “As such a large hotel with multiple food offerings, there is so much potential at Luton Hoo and I can’t wait to be able to look back in a couple of years’ time to see how much my team and I have achieved. My passion for food has always been inside me, my grandad was a chef and I always enjoyed going through his old menus. I would describe my cooking style as vibrant and seasonal, and I am incredibly excited to bring my experience and expertise to share with the team and all our guests at Luton Hoo.”
