Jake said of his new position, “I am thrilled to return to St Moritz Hotel. It is such a unique food proposition with an incredible team in such a great place. Seasonal hospitality underpins everything the team here does and I so look forward to working with all the amazing local suppliers to source the most sustainable produce and celebrate the incredible provenance of this stunning coastal location.” Sara Last said, “Jake is our ideal chef for St Moritz Hotel.
