TEAM DUKE – SAM✨
A familiar face making a very welcome return to The Duke 🙌
Sam was previously Head Chef at our sister venue, The Mill, before leaving in 2020 and long before that, he was part of The Duke kitchen team too. Now he’s back with us as Sous Chef, and it feels like a pretty natural homecoming 🫶
Nicknamed the Protein Prince 👑, Sam’s all about big flavours and getting the very best out of every dish, whether that’s perfecting a fish special or bringing depth and balance to the menu as a whole 🐟🔥
Outside the kitchen, he’s usually smashing out a park run… or bringing plenty of banter to the team 😄
Great energy, serious skill, and a proper part of the Duke kitchen once again 🙌
