Fife Arms appoints new head chef

The Fife Arms Hotel has announced the appointment of Adam Maddock as its new head chef.

Maddock has over a decade of experience in the industry and has worked in Michelin starred restaurants across the UK.

After an apprenticeship with the Tanner brothers at only 18 years old, he started his career at Gidleigh Park working with Michael Caines MBE.

The Fife Arms, set within the Cairngorms National Park in the Scottish Highlands, is home to The Clunie Dining Room, showcasing the art of wood-fire cooking.

It also has The Flying Stag which offers classic Scottish pub dishes, and The Drawing Room, which serves classic afternoon tea.

Maddock has designed a new menu for the restaurant which includes Wood Pigeon served with fire-roasted leek, winter truffle and hazelnut and the Invercauld Estate Venison, served with smoked shallot, red cabbage and ember beetroot.

Maddock said: “I am delighted to join the Fife Arms as Head Chef, leading such a strong team of talented chefs, creating inspiring dishes, that showcase the finest seasonal produce for which Scotland is world-famous. It has been a pleasure to work alongside the hotel’s long-standing suppliers and experimenting in the kitchen with all of the premium seasonal produce.”
