• Fallowfields Country House Hotel and Restaurant in Kingston Bagpuize has announced the arrival of Shaun Dickens from L’Ortolan in Shinfield, where he worked for two years with Alan Murchison. Prior to that, he spent three years at Oxfordshire’s Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons and two years at Per Se in New York. Dickens has also worked with Gordon Ramsay at The London in New York, Michel Roux Junior at Le Gavroche and Daniel Boulud at Daniel. In 2009 he was a finalist in the Young National Chef of the Year competition and in 2010 he won the title for the south west region and came third overall nationally. Dickens said: “I am at a point in my career where I needed a project, and Fallowfields, with its farm, orchards and kitchen garden, is a chef’s dream turned true. So when I saw Fallowfields was looking, I just knew this was the job for me ... the journey starts here.”
