John Campbell - The Vineyard at Stockcross
Since early 2002 John Campbell has been Executive Chef at The Vineyard at Stockcross, one of Britain’s most renowned country house hotels, where his superb cooking has earned him an international reputation for innovation, expertise and flair.
John was born in Liverpool and spent much of his early years with his grandmother who introduced him to simple, but great cooking. At the age of 15, his interest in cooking already kindled, he left school without any qualifications to work as a trainee chef in a local hotel. Soon after, his inquisitive mind and dedication earned him a coveted Forte Hotels scholarship that took him all over Europe working in the finest kitchens and restaurants. In 1997 he left Forte Hotels and moved to Lords of the Manor in Gloucestershire where his food style continued to develop and he was awarded his first Michelin star.
Known as the ‘cerebral chef’, John has a degree in International Culinary Arts, a host of accolades for his food as well as an enviable reputation within the industry. His genius lies in combining complex elements into dishes that look and feel simple and natural. He experiments with the effect that temperature has on flavour - intensifying the taste and challenging the taste buds.
In 2003 The Vineyard was awarded ‘Independent Hotel of the Year’, an enviable 8 out of 10 in the Good Food Guide and Square Meal’s ‘Best Out of Town Restaurant’. In 2004 it was voted ‘Wine Restaurant of the Year’ by the Restaurant Magazine. In 2007 he received his second Michelin star. John is the author of the highly acclaimed and international award-winning book Formulas for Flavour; last year he launched Advanced Practical Cookery to national acclaim and he is currently working on the 11th Edition of the nationally and internationally used Practical Cookery.
John will be cooking at The Vineyard at Stockcross on Thursday 7th August.
