Chris Staines, head chef at the Michelin-starred Foliage restaurant at London's Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, has resigned.
The news comes just a week after Caterer revealed that Heston Blumenthal, the three-Michelin-starred chef patron of the Fat Duck in Bray, is in discussions to launch a restaurant at the five-star Knightsbridge hotel. Renowned New York-based interior designer Adam Tihany, who created the interior for Foliage, has also been associated with the project.
Chris Staines declined to comment on the reasons for his resignations but one can imagine that perhaps he was disgruntled with the hotel's handling of the news regarding Blumenthal.
His resignation gives credence to Blumenthal taking over the space of Foliage.
Watch out for further details on Caterersearch.
