David Kelman

David first worked at Bodysgallen Hall Hotel in North Wales. His first Head Chef position was at Lower Slaughter Manor in Gloucestershire where he gained three AA rosettes.

He has been at the Five Star three AA rosettes Ellenborough Park for three years where he cooks classic British dishes with a modern twist. David was awarded ‘Chef of the Year’ by Cotswold Life Food and Drink Awards.

For his menu, David has taken inspiration from his Nan and her time during the war. His family has been in the military for the last three generations and, as an ex-army cadet and TA soldier, his background has led him to focus his menu on the importance of remembrance.
