Horsham hotel's 'delight' as chef cooks up a storm on MasterChef: The Professionals
A five-star Horsham hotel has shared its ‘delight’ that its sous chef Tom Hamblet is cooking up a storm on TV’s MasterChef: The Professionals.
Twenty-four-year-old Tom currently holds a position at restaurant Camellia at South Lodge Hotel, Lower Beeding. And the hotel said today (Tuesday) that it is ‘delighted’ at Tom’s achievements on the TV show.
In a broadcast last night, viewers saw how Tom displayed his skills and won his way through to the next round of the culinary contest.
South Lodge Hotel – part of the Exclusive Collection hotel chain – praised Tom’s work and pointed out how he had “honed his skills in Michelin-starred kitchens and renowned establishments including Exclusive Collection’s sister property Pennyhill Park in Surrey.”
A spokesperson said: “Culinary passion runs deep in Tom’s family, with his father serving as Executive Chef at South Lodge and his mother specialising as a Pastry Chef. Tom’s ambition has led him to participate in MasterChef:The Professionals, considering it a significant opportunity to showcase his skills and make his family proud.”
MasterChef: The Professionals continues with Knockout Week, tonight (Tuesday) at 8pm, and Thursday at 9pm on BBC One.
Tom has reached Knockout Week and is next on-air on Thursday November 23 at 9pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
