Ribeiro began his career supervising at The Copthorne Effingham Park Gatwick, before progressing to restaurant manager at Best Western, The Birch Hotel, where he was responsible for the quality of product, service, and operations. He was eventually appointed operations manager at the four-star Mandolay Hotel, Surrey, most recently.

Set within 186 acres of landscaped gardens, the listed 19th-century mansion is located in a prime position in Ashdown Forest, East Sussex, within the High Weald AONB.
The venue’s newly-opened Forest Brasserie, located in the Country Club, with a balcony overlooking both the forest and the 18-hole par three golf course, delivers an informal dining experience for guests, from breakfast through to supper.
