Bourne & Hollingsworth Group is directing its creative focus from the cocktail to the kitchen with the appointment of new Executive Chef, Adam Gray.

Adam Gray has headed up Michelin starred establishments, owned his own pub, and taught extensively about food. Gray began his career under Bruno Loubet at the Four Seasons Hotel on Park Lane then at Le Manoir aux Quat’ Saisons in Oxfordshire.Before joining Bourne & Hollingsworth, Gray was Executive Head Chef of Skylon Restaurant in the Royal Festival Hall on the South Bank.

Situated just off Exmouth Market, Bourne & Hollingsworth Buildings features a 70-cover restaurant and greenhouse, a café area, private rooms and a large bar serving the brand’s famous cocktails.
