‘Bonjour’ to Denis

Denis Guillemin has been appointed as our Catering Operations Manager in our new restaurant.

The 40-year-old, who is originally from Ainay Le Chateau in France, will run the new restaurant when it opens in April.

Denis said: “I’m thrilled to have joined the team at Monkton Elm and am really looking forward to the new restaurant opening. There is lots of planning and preparation to be done but once it opens I will be working closely with the restaurant team to make sure everything runs smoothly on a daily basis.

“I will also be helping to put together menus and am hoping to include a bit of a French twist to the dishes.”

Denis studied cookery at the Lycée Professionnel Jean Guéhenno in Saint Amand Montrond and went on to continue his studies at the Lycée Jacques Coeur in Bourges.

In his spare time he enjoys spending quality time with his family as well as cooking, baking and doing DIY.

We’re thrilled to have Denis becoming a member of our exciting and dynamic team and we have big plans for the future of the restaurant.

We’re really looking forward to seeing what Denis brings to the restaurant and to seeing the delicious menu he comes up with. We feel he will really enhance the team.
