Former appetite columnist Jérôme Cogné is the new head chef at Macdonald Linden Hall Golf & Country Club in Longhorsely, Northumberland.
For the Frenchman, it’s the latest step in an impressive 25-year long resume that has seen him work with the likes of Roland Durand at the two Michelin star Le Pre Catelan in Paris, as well as the three Michelin star Maison Troisgros in Roanne (France), and alongside Joel Antunes at the one Michelin star Les Saveurs in London. It is Jerome’s second time at Macdonald Linden Hall, having left in 2011 to be head chef at Bouchon Bistrot in Hexham.
