Meet Tudor Park’s new executive head chef, Alfonso Salvaggio. He has recently swapped a jeep, sand and the stifling heat of Dubai, for the lush green surroundings and a golf buggy at the four star Marriott Hotel & Country Club in Bearsted—and says he and his young family couldn’t be happier. “It is so fantastic to be able to walk
outside and enjoy this beautiful countryside and fresh air. I bought my daughters (Giulia, five, and Fiona, three) umbrellas for the first time in their lives and they are even loving the outdoors when it rains as they have never experienced it before,” says the 41- year-old. He is also revelling in the fact that,

family connections, have strong influences on Alfonso’s cooking which he hopes to bring to his new role. “I think guests at Tudor Park will
see Asian, Balkan and Italian flavours coming through some of my dishes which I hope they will enjoy,” he adds.
