- Introducing Richard Wilkins, Head Chef at Haymarket Hotel 👋 Since joining us last summer, Richard has quickly become an integral part of our kitchen brigade, driven by a shared passion for food and creativity. Hailing from Berkshire, he found a connection with cooking from a young age, with his family shaping his philosophy. "After finishing high school, I unexpectedly fell in love with cooking. I began working with my uncle in a restaurant kitchen and was instantly captivated by the fast-paced environment, vibrant atmosphere, and strong sense of camaraderie - I was hooked," he says. Richard draws inspiration from the joyful surroundings of Haymarket's interiors to create comforting seasonal British dishes through innovative culinary concepts. He says, "working in a place where the vibrant, colourful interiors lift my mood the moment I arrive is a real pleasure. Each day, I notice something new, and it continually sparks my creativity in the kitchen." Discover Haymarket Hotel here: https://bit.ly/37oW608#FirmdaleHotels #HaymarketHotel

- This week we're celebrating 20 years of The Soho Hotel in London! 🎉 Since opening its doors in 2004, The Soho has remained a sanctuary of art and design in one of the city's most vibrant boroughs, rich in culture and creativity. Our Founders, Tim & Kit Kemp look back on the very first hotel that they built from the ground up and where every inch of the hotel was designed from Kit's office that she says, "was no bigger than a cupboard alongside my assistant who was originally a housekeeper at Dorset Square Hotel, our first hotel we opened in 1985." "Looking back it was all an adventure. It felt new and exciting and there was an exhilarating buzz about the place. This sense of movement and style has never left how we feel about The Soho Hotel. It is a living space and we never tire of finding new and uplifting ways of keeping the freshness, friendliness and adventure for our guests." Happy 20th Birthday Soho! 🎈 Discover The Soho Hotel here: https://bit.ly/3j91TJE#FirmdaleHotels #TheSohoHotel #London
