Sebastian Snow, Head Chef - The Swan at Southrop
The Swan, part of the Southrop Manor Estate and the Good Food Guide's 2010 UK Restaurant of the Year, is run by the immensely talented Sebastian and his wife Lana.
His locally inspired cuisine, which also shows some strong influences from his Italian mother’s Roman heritage, has met with great critical acclaim and has reinforced The Swan’s reputation as a serious food destination. Sebastian was for many years the chef/owner of the West London Restaurant 'Snows on the Green', as well as three other restaurants in the capital. He is greatly experienced as a cookery school teacher, having taught at Leith’s Cookery School in London and having spent many summers running a cookery school in Orvieto, and is a veteran of numerous fundraising trips including trekking the Sahara and cycling across Death Valley.
