The Marquis restaurant in Alkham has appointed a new senior management team.

It is led by David Harris and head chef Andrew King.

The pair have introduced new menus and a refurbished website since they joined at the start of this year.

Mr Harris said: “What has set The Marquis aside from others is our exceptional food and that remains at the heart of what we offer.

“And with the arrival of Andrew we are fortunate to have a chef who has the skill, flair and imagination to build on our excellent reputation.

“Supported by his dedicated kitchen brigade, he is certain to take The Marquis to a new level.”

Mr King has worked in kitchens such as Michelin-starred Lucknam Park Hotel in Bath and Reads in Faversham.

He said: “My style is modern British cuisine and I’m enjoying introducing my own take on some classic dishes at The Marquis.

“I like to develop close relationships with suppliers that help to give us the edge when it comes to delivering the very best ingredients to our customers.

“For example, I will get a text during the night from a local fish supplier advising me of the latest catch coming in on their boat and that will be served to customers the next day.”
