Under the mentorship of Glynn Purnell David flourished, working his way up to the position of sous chef.

David left Purnells hungry to experience other cuisines & cultures. His first stop was the windy city of Chicago before heading to the big apple, the young chef learning at Michelin-star kitchens along the way. At the heart of Hampton Manor, Victorian walled garden is the lavish Grace & Savour – David’s restaurant. The converted barn is a temple of seasonal, sustainable dishes.
