Nathan Eades appointed executive chef of the Montagu Arms

Nathan Eades will be taking over from Matthew Whitfield as executive chef of the 3 AA rosettes Terrace restaurant at the Montagu Arms hotel in the New Forest.

Whitfield, a 2017 Roux Scholarship finalist, joined the Montagu Arms in 2019 before leaving the hotel three and a half years later.

Prior to his appointment, Eades was head chef of the Wild Rabbit in Oxfordshire for over four years. During that time, he brought the venue to the attention of the AA and Michelin Guides, Good Food Guide and the Top 50 gastropubs.

With over 16 years-worth of experience in the industry, Eades will oversee the menus of the Terrace and Monty's Inn, which will celebrate seasonal and hyper-local Hampshire produce.

He said: "I am thrilled to take on the role of executive chef at The Montagu Arms, a property that is steeped in gastronomic history. The Hampshire larder is one brimming with fantastic produce and I am excited to develop a dynamic menu using ingredients from the hotel's kitchen garden."

James Hiley-Jones, managing director at Greenclose Hotels, added: "We are absolutely delighted to welcome Nathan Eades to The Montagu Arms.

"We are very grateful to Matthew Whitfield who leaves us after three and a half years to take on a new challenge and now look forward to exciting times ahead under Nathan, a passionate and extraordinarily talented chef with big plans for The Terrace."
