Damon

Sous Chef

Damon is an accomplished Chef who joined the team in Spring this year to support Ben, our Head Chef and help further develop our already fantastic food offering at Rockbeare Manor.

Having been in the catering industry for many years, Damon has experience in everything from Hotels and Country Clubs, to characterful country pubs, as well as working for some of the big names in contract catering. He was also Chef Proprietor at what he built up to become a very popular and busy 50 cover eatery in the heart of Sidmouth,  producing good quality, seasonal daily specials, light lunches and snacks. Most recently Damon has worked for reputable local Devon event caterers delivering weddings and other events all across the county.

Damon enjoyed spending two consecutive summers in New Zealand where he worked as the Head Chef in a busy beach location in The Bay of Plenty in North Island. This was a memorable experience for him, working within a different culture and with different culinary tastes.
