Andrew Chantrell - General ManagerPrior to joining the Red Carnation Hotel Collection in June 2009, I was Owner/Manager of the Brue at Lydford-on-Fosse, Somerset. Before that I had a number of very successful years with von Essen Hotels, as General Manager of the Ston Easton Park Hotel in Somerset and Congham Hall in Norfolk. I am very proud to lead a team of dedicated employees who are all genuinely committed in providing each individual guest with a memorable experience based upon warm, friendly and attentive service.

Nick Bossé - Deputy General ManagerI have been in the hospitality business for ten years, seven of which I spent at Red Carnation’s The Oyster Box Hotel in Durban as Food & Beverage Manager, and the balance at various hotels and pubs in South Africa and abroad. I have a Diploma in International Hotel Management from Varsity College, and a Certificate from the Cape Wine Academy. During the renovation of The Oyster Box, I spent twenty months at The Twelve Apostles in Cape Town. Opening the new Oyster Box was a highlight of my career, and I found heading up the F&B department incredibly challenging and rewarding. E: deputygm@theoghhotel.com; T: +44(0)1481 738609 |

Clément Baris - Executive Head ChefI grew up in Bordeaux, where my father had a restaurant, and whilst food was in my blood it was more by luck than judgement that I entered the kitchen. Not quite knowing what I wanted to do my father set me to work in the family kitchen! I soon moved to a 2 Michelin Star restaurant in Magescq followed by a number of prestigious Relais & Chateaux properties in France. In 2006 I joined Summer Lodge Country House Hotel in Dorset which is also part of Red Carnation Hotels. In May 2008 I became Sous Chef at The Ritz before moving to Guernsey in June 2009 as Executive Sous Chef at The OGH. I was promoted to Executive Head Chef in March 2010 and, with my excellent team in the kitchen, I look forward to maintaining the wonderful reputation the hotel has for food and service.
