Influenced by Asian flavours, Dorian curates exceptional menus that are a fusion of Cornwall’s best produce whilst embodying his culinary style. From starters to dessert, Dorian ensures that the ingredients used in his balanced, textured, and elegant dishes are from the most sustainable suppliers. From the fish and shellfish that are delivered fresh every morning and served to the hotel’s guests the same day, to the seasonal vegetables and locally farmed meats. Dorian has continually worked and professionally managed his team behind the restaurant, perfectly demonstrating that his role as the executive head chef doesn’t start and end with just creating a dish but rather, showcasing the ongoing relationship between the chef, the producers, the restaurant team, the customers and land and sea that defines his work.
