The Truscott Arms, Maida Vale’s exciting new hybrid of fine food, drink and art, is delighted to unveil young chef Barry Snook as its new head chef.
The Australian-born culinary maestro brings to The Truscott Arms a reputation for creating deceptively simple dishes that let the natural flavours of great quality ingredients shine.
Having honed his craft at Queensland’s acclaimed Liquorish Bistro & Bar under head chef Peter Christensen, Barry spent three years working for award-winning catering company, Sustainable Catering Services. Arriving in the UK in 2012 he immediately secured a position at the Michelin star Chez Bruce.
Since his arrival in W9, Barry has been hard at work creating new dishes for both the fine dining restaurant and the downstairs pub. The newly introduced dinner menu is brimming with the local, seasonal and sustainable ingredients that have become the hallmark of the Truscott Arms’ offering.
Barry arrives at The Truscott Arms at an exciting time for the restaurant. Although only opened in the spring, it has already received a Three Star Rating from the Sustainable Restaurant Association, the organisation’s highest mark for global sustainability as well as being named by the Evening Standard as among the Top 10 places to eat in the capital alongside Claridge’s and Dinner by Heston Blumenthal.
