A Word From Our Chef

I'm Christopher Ellis. I am a local guy whose passion for food came about at a young age not knowing what I wanted to do, when I fell in love with cooking and how I could express myself through food. For me food is as simple as this. If you start with great produce, locally-sourced and at it’s absolute best, then all I need to do to do it justice is cook it well… which I’m confident I can do. I’ve worked all over the UK in some of the best restaurants/eatery’s and now just a stones through away from where I grew up. Being able to work at Todenham working alongside the butchers and game keepers is a chef’s paradise and I aim to create something special and unique here at Herd.
