Limewood Hotel, in Hampshire, has a dream team of chefs with Michelin-starred credentials: Angela Hartnett and Luke Holder.
Chef Angela Hartnett is one of the most high-profile female chefs in the restaurant world. She is a recognisable face having appeared regularly on television including on MasterChef UK, Hell’s Kitchen and as a guest judge on The Great British Menu. But it is her restaurant success that is most impressive. Angela worked under Gordon Ramsay at Aubergine, and then under Marcus Wareing where she soon became head chef at Pétrus.
In 2003, Hartnett won the Best Newcomer Award and the Square Meal Guides’ BMW Best New Restaurant award for the two restaurants at The Connaught.
In 2004, she netted her first Michelin star, and in early 2007, she was awarded an MBE for Services to the Hospitality Industry. Then in 2008 she launched Murano in Mayfair.
Chef Luke Holder has worked in some of London’s busiest and most exclusive restaurants including Orrery, The Sloane Club, and the Oxo Tower on the South Bank. Luke then spent a year cooking in the Italian kitchen of Enoteca Pinchiorri – which boasts three Michelin stars – in the heart of Tuscany, Florence. This experience ultimately changed his philosophy on food forever and firmly placed his focus on cooking locally and seasonally, at the highest level.
