New Executive Chef appointment announced by Gleneagles.
Gleneagles has appointed Darron Bunn as its new Executive Chef, heralding a new culinary chapter at the Perthshire hotel and sporting estate.
Bunn, who first trained as a Chef de Partie under Nico Ladenis at the three Michelin-starred Ninety Park Lane before being mentored by Marco Pierre White for six years and rising through the ranks of his group, has taken the helm of culinary strategy and operations in Gleneagles’ ten kitchens, covering eight bars and restaurants, private dining, and room service.
With previous roles including Group Executive Chef at Daylesford Organic and Goodwood Estate, Executive Chef at Alfred Dunhill Private Members’ Club and Bovey Castle, and Chef Patron of The Greyhound Michelin-starred pub in Hampshire, Bunn is now responsible for Gleneagles’ kitchen brigade of over 100 chefs and 40 stewards.
Commenting on his appointment, Bunn stated: “People’s tastes and interests are ever-evolving and hospitality businesses need to be ready to adapt. There’s a much greater interest now not just in food provenance and sustainability, but in health and wellbeing. That’s where the future of gastronomy lies.”
Gleneagles’ Managing Director, Conor O’Leary, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Darron, who will greatly enhance our team and support us in the delivery of our ambitious plans to strengthen our reputation among the finest hospitality destinations in the world.”
