Native Devonian Charlotte took the reins at The Five Bells three years ago, helping them to break into the UK’s Top 50 Gastropubs shortly afterwards.
A relative latecomer to the world of gastronomy, Charlotte completed a Masters in Psychology and Human Biology at the University of Plymouth before learning her catering chops in the Royal Logistics Corp of the British Army and spending a decade working as a pastry chef under Michael Caines at Gidleigh Park and The Royal Clarence Hotel.
Charlotte is passionate about the local produce available to her in Devon and describes her food as ‘Modern British with a twist of Scandi influence and French technique’. Her first foray into the GBM kitchen sees her cooking dishes based on Fawlty Towers and Wallace and Gromit.
