"I am thoroughly delighted with the position of Executive Head Chef and am looking forward to using my experience to create some exciting dishes for the guests of Jesmond Dene House and Fern Dining Room & Bar.  I am fortunate to have worked alongside Danny Parker, who has moved onto pastures new, and I wish him all the very best, but I really look forward to the challenges ahead in my new position."

A keen lover of fish and homegrown produce, Eddie intends to plan some fun events around these themes and bring some excitement to Jesmond Dene House utilising the Secret Garden Kitchen for outdoor BBQ's and make the most of the heritage that Jesmond has to offer.  The appointment of Eddie also coincides with the launch of their brand-new Summer seasonal menu at Fern restaurant, of which Eddie and his team created.
