Jerry Adam, former chef at the Michelin-starred Ynyshir Hall, has been announced as the new head chef at the 18 bedroom hotel, The Swan at Hay Hotel. Ynyshir HallThe 26-year old chef joined the hotel at the beginning of March and is now recruiting for his own team, including a sous chef, chef de partie and commis chef. Calum Milne, managing director of Llangoed Limited and The Swan at Hay Ltd, said: “His appointment is an indication of the quality rather than the style of food that customers can expect at The Swan. It will offer another price point for our customers and an alternative dining experience." Jerry previously worked with Nick Brodie at Llangoed Hall and has worked for Michelin starred restaurants, The Olive Branch in Clipsham and The Bath Priory in Bath as well as The Queensberry also in Bath. Calum Milne said: “Jerry spent nearly three years at Llangoed Hall and I am delighted that Nick has nurtured his talent. He is the youngest head chef in the group and will reinvigorate the food offer at The Swan." Commenting on his appointment, Jerry Adam said: “It’s an exciting challenge to become head chef and I am looking forward to cooking for local people and visitors. They can look forward to homely as well as exciting and innovative food and I plan to expand the menu with my own dishes in the coming months.” The Swan at Hay Hotel is currently undergoing a £1 million refurbishment and is the third hotel purchased by Llangoed Limited.
