The Seven Sins of Nick Deverell-Smith |
Chef Patron, The Churchill Arms |
|
Having recently re-opened this famous pub, 34 year old head chef and proprietor Nick Deverell-Smith has used his wealth of experience and extensive knowledge of working with the freshest seasonal ingredients to ensure that the menu will be a true talking point for both local and visiting foodies.
Named the Junior Chef of the Year in 2000, local boy, Deverell-Smith has gone on to work alongside some of the countrys most renowned chefs, including Marco Pierre-White, Gordon Ramsay, Marcus Waring and Eric Chavot, before becoming head chef at Soho House and then Dean Street Kitchen.
The Churchill Arms is his first solo venture and Nick Deverell-Smith has created a range of dishes that any of his mentors would be proud to put their name to. Taking its opportunity of produce sourced daily from the surrounding countryside and local village gardens, he visits his neighbours garden every morning to pick sage, rosemary and thyme. |

| Wrath - What makes you angry about the hospitality industry?
People who are not in the industry but think they know everything about it!
Greed - If all your food fantasies came true what would be on your Plate?
I am a very simple man! Shellfish Linguine, bottle of Pol Roger champagne and a packet of giant chocolate buttons.
Sloth - What do you do to unwind?
I find it very hard to unwind and switch off, but a good night out with my brothers normally does the trick. But I regret it for days after!
Pride - What are you most proud of?
I left school with nothing! I now have my own business that is 100% mine. I Sometimes pinch myself.
Lust - Is there anything that you are still lusting to achieve?
That I have a beautiful family one day. And that the Churchill Arms continues to grow and become the hub of the north cotswolds.
Envy - who are you most envious of?
Leonardo DiCaprio. He is living the dream!
Gluttony - have you ever over indulged?
I only know one way! "It's all or nothing!"
