LFC’s Chris Marshall to join Relish as executive chef
The appointment comes after Relish took over operations at The Venue at The Royal Liver Building at the end of last year
Relish Catering, a Liverpool-based catering and events company, has appointed a former Liverpool FC executive chef to head up its operations as it continues its mission to enhance its service and expand its offering.
Chris Marshall has been assigned to oversee all culinary operations for the brand. Relish said that “tasked with setting the standards and bringing a creative flair that complements Relish’s prestige for hospitality excellence”, Marshall will aim to build on the brand’s local reputation and position it as an industry leader in the North West.
It added he comes to Relish with a wealth of experience, having most recently worked one-to-one with Premier League footballers, providing them with nutritional advice, after his six-year stretch as executive chef at LFC. Prior to his time with LFC, Chris headed the opening of Liverpool’s Panoramic 34 as executive chef, as well as the city’s Radisson Hotel.
His 30-year career also includes five years of experience working with restaurateur and TV chef Gary Rhodes in venues across London and Manchester.
Marshall said: “I am honoured to be joining Relish and head up the kitchen at what is a very exciting time for the business. The diversity of the brand is what really excites me and I’m looking forward to forming a strategy and identity that helps unite their various offerings.
“I am incredibly excited to get back into a working kitchen and be part of the team, where I’ll seek to continue and build on the reputation of excellence and be part of the company’s future.”
The appointment comes after Relish took over operations at The Venue at The Royal Liver Building at the end of last year, which now sees them offer catering services for all the building’s events, as well as running the public Café Bar located in the atrium of the iconic landmark.
