Michael Caines MBE is one of the UK’s highest profile chefs and has held two Michelin stars at the Bath Priory’s sister hotel Gidleigh Park, Devon, since 1999.  Here Michael and his team are renowned for innovative, modern European cuisine. Michael is very much looking forward to his new role and comments:
“It is a great honour and privilege for me to be asked by Andrew and Christina Brownsword to oversee and manage the restaurant at this prestigious and wonderful hotel.  It is my intention to bring more synergy between Gidleigh Park and The Bath Priory, while retaining their unique appeal and offer. We will shortly be announcing who the Head Chef is going to be to build on and take forward the wonderful reputation that The Bath Priory has earned to date. I would like to wish Chris Horridge all the best in his new appointment and I am sure that he has a wonderful future ahead of him.”
