John Burton-Race

In May 2009, following the company’s expansion, John Burton-Race, author and Michelin-starred chef joined the company in a development role.

Following his time at Le Manoir aux quat’ saisons, he became head chef at Le Petit Blanc and then in 1986 opened his own restaurant L’Ortolan.

He later moved to John Burton Race at The Landmark Hotel where he was awarded two Michelin stars. In between regular training visits to each of the Kent Inns’ sites, John is based at The New Angel restaurant in Dartmouth today where his passion for amazing food is ever present.

“John’s passion for truly delicious food is why we recruited him” explained Sherry Martin. “His enthusiasm and hands-on approach makes him a valuable member of our team and makes it possible for us to continue improving the food offered at each of our restaurants”.
