MATHEW SHERRY has been appointed as the new Head Chef of Number One at The Balmoral.
Edinburgh-born Mathew joins the fine-dining Michelin-starred restaurant from his role as Head Chef of Michelin-starred Northcote in Lancashire, where he worked closely with Executive Chef Lisa Goodwin-Allen.
Prior to Northcote, Mathew honed his skills under Chef Patron Dominic Jack, working for seven years at Castle Terrace in Edinburgh.
Mathew will continue to use seasonal Scottish produce at the forefront of the restaurant’s dining experience. He has developed a new 3-course menu and 7-course seasonal menu using classical flavours and modern techniques.
The Balmoral’s Executive Chef, Gary Robinson, said: “Excellence is at the heart of everything we do at The Balmoral and Mathew brings this ethos in abundance. His flair and classical training, coupled with his passion for incredible Scottish produce, makes for an exciting chapter ahead for Number One.”
Mathew Sherry said: “I am honoured to return to my home city to head up the kitchen at such an iconic restaurant and to work with the many seasoned professionals already here at
The Balmoral.
“The detail on each dish has been carefully designed, from sourcing seasonal ingredients to the way they are displayed and plated, everything has been thoughtfully considered.
“I am thoroughly enjoying working closely with Restaurant Manager, Emma Lonie and her established front of house team. We will ensure that we continue to deliver a truly special experience for every guest.”
