Introducing Mark Budd

Our talented head chef Mark Budd, who has worked at some of the finest hotel restaurants in the world and even cooked for the Royal Family, has a passion for provenance and incorporating the best quality local produce into his menus.

Having earned his stripes at five-star establishments such as The Stafford, The Ritz and The Dorchester in London, Mark’s flair and imagination in the kitchen is rapidly earning him a reputation among food-lovers across the South West.

“I grew up just down the road in Totnes and it’s always been my ambition to one day return to Devon and become Head Chef at Bovey Castle,” says Mark.
