Derek Quelch - Executive Chef, The Goring Hotel London
The Goring Hotel in London is a beautiful boutique hotel and was built in 1910. It is now managed by the third generation of the Goring family. This hotel has a fantastic location in Belgravia, just 400 metres from Buckingham Palace.
This deluxe 5 star hotel, has been loved and nurtured by the family, the management and staff for ninety five years.
The Hotel is set in traditionally English private gardens, and multilingual staff at the dedicated concierge desk can help with all aspects of touring and entertainment in London.
The hotel boasts an award-winning restaurant.
Derek Quelch is the Executive Chef in charge of this award-winning restaurant. Derek is a very impressive chef with a CV that speaks volumes for him. He was formally Head Chef at The Savoy and Claridges in London and given their reputations that is very impressive.
Derek took time out of his busy schedule to talk to us and his calm and measured answers to my questions gave me the impression he would be a great chef to train under. With 26 years of experience behind him and that calm cool type of personality Derek would be just the sort of chef you need when your Kitchen gets manic.
Whatever awards a chef or restaurant may win, there is no better measure of success than to be able to boast that your restaurant is full every night and that is the case with this restaurant. Derek is a fan of our biosmart filters and we are absolutely thrilled to be able to satisfy such an experienced chef and very proud to have a hotel of this standard as our customer.
What a great Award!
At the Tio Pepe ITV Awards Ceremony, early in 2005, The Goring received the award of 'Best British Restaurant'. And US Travel and Leisure Magazine listed it among its choice of the 100 best hotels in the world.
