Hailing from Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, Ashleigh has dedicated her career to the culinary arts, honing her skills across various pubs known for their exceptional food. Recently, she ascended from sous chef to head chef at The Kingham Plough, a prestigious 2 AA rosette establishment located in the scenic Cotswolds.
Ashleigh skillfully transforms local ingredients, like the beautiful produce she receives from Four Seasons, into standout interpretations of classic pub fare.
Her culinary journey includes valuable experience at several renowned venues, including the Ellenborough Park Hotel in Cheltenham, where she gained practical training. Subsequently, she worked at notable gastro pubs such as the Slaughters Country Inn and Frog Mill. A significant chapter of her career was spent under the guidance of Great British Menu alumnus Emily Lampson (formerly Watkins), culminating in her promotion to head chef in June 2020.
The Kingham Plough is the quintessential Cotswold Inn combining an outstanding award-winning restaurant alongside a perfect village pub.
They continually champion the very best local and seasonal ingredients, showcasing their incredible suppliers through the pub’s ever-popular menus.
