Luxury Ripon hotel Grantley Hall has appointed a new Head Chef for its pan-Asian 'Bar & Restaurant EightyEight.'
Andy Lynam joined the Grantley Hall culinary team in 2024 as Sous Chef and quickly established himself as a driving force in the EightyEight kitchen.
Now stepping into the role of Head Chef, Andy brings a refined, modern approach to ingredient-led cooking.
Inspired by childhood holidays to France and a professional journey that includes positions at some of the UK’s most renowned establishments, such as The Box Tree in Ilkley, The Wild Rabbit in the Cotswolds, and The Devonshire Arms at Bolton Abbey, Andy’s cuisine is described as "thoughtful as it is bold."
Commenting on his appointment, Andy said:
"EightyEight is such a special place to cook – it’s a space that allows for playfulness and creativity while respecting quality and provenance.
"I’m honoured to take on this new role and am looking forward to leading our talented team as we craft a new seasonal menu that showcases the best of what we do."
Bar & Restaurant EightyEight at Grantley Hall offers a unique blend of traditional Asian flavours reimagined through contemporary techniques and local ingredients, served in a stunning modern setting overlooking the ornamental Japanese Garden.
