Ross promoted to Head Chef after impressing<br />
all at Ravenwood Hall...<br />
When Ross Cook was looking for the<br />
perfect venue for his fairytale wedding,<br />
he admitted he fell in love with<br />
Ravenwood Hall on first sight.<br />
Little did he know that he would be returning<br />
to the beautiful and historic setting just a few<br />
months later as an integral member of staff.<br />
Fast forward to the present day and Ross is<br />
happily married to Laura after their wonderful<br />
wedding–while having double reason to celebrate<br />
after being named the new head chef at the<br />
prestigious hotel and restaurant.<br />
Ross impressed all at the hotel and restaurant<br />
during a two-year spell at Ravenwood as Sous<br />
Chef.<br />
So when the position of running the entire kitchen<br />
came up, Craig Jarvis, owner of Ravenwood,<br />
admitted it was an easy decision to make.<br />
It was particularly special for Ross, 27, who had<br />
got married at the seven-acre estate – booking<br />
his wedding venue even before joining the team.<br />
Ross, who boasts a number of top hotels and<br />
restaurants in Ipswich and Needham Market<br />
on his impressive CV, said: “I originally came to<br />
Ravenwood as I knew all about its reputation in<br />
the local area.<br />
“I had always dreamed that one day I would be<br />
the Head Chef at Ravenwood and I jumped at the<br />
chance when it was offered to me.<br />
“It has a very high standard of cuisine and I am<br />
looking forward to continuing that and then<br />
enhancing it to ensure Ravenwood continues to<br />
have a reputation as the place-to-go in the local<br />
area.”<br />
Ross knew all about the beautiful setting at<br />
Ravenwood after he and his now wife, Laura,<br />
chose to get married there–with the ceremony<br />
held in May of this year.<br />
He explained: “When we first looked at<br />
Ravenwood Hall in 2015, we just fell in love with<br />
this stunning place with its amazing grounds,<br />
wedding pavilion and a hotel steeped in tradition.<br />
To now be the Head Chef here is a dream come<br />
true.”<br />
Ross is now busy preparing Ravenwood’s new<br />
autumn menu before embarking on his first<br />
Christmas leading the kitchen.<br />
