New Executive Head Chef returns to his Cornish roots at Restaurant RenMor
- RENMOR -
A chef who has enjoyed an illustrious career has returned to his Cornish roots to take on the top job at a stunning new £ 3m restaurant overlooking the Atlantic Ocean .
Gavin Edney ’ s love affair with cooking began in his early teens , when he would use a boat built for him by his grandfather to take the short journey across the river from Polruan to Fowey to go to work .
Twenty-three years later and having enjoyed a host of culinary successes around the country , he has relocated to Newquay following the launch of Restaurant RenMor as the signature dining experience at five-star hotel The Headland .
The newly appointed Executive Head Chef said : “ I ’ ve always been obsessed with cooking . I have fond memories of my gran letting me cook my own breakfast on the stove after a sleepover and attempting to cook dinner for my mum , brother , and sister . I would create an absolute mess at home – mum hated it !”
“ Aged 15 , I got my first job at Fowey Hall and spent my weekends and school holidays there . My days were spent deboning mackerel , preparing lobsters , shucking oysters and picking crabs . As a young person , I was always looked after by the seniors and I ’ m still in touch with them today .
