Greyhound in Beaconsfield appoints new head chef

The Greyhound in Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, has announced the appointment of George Sweeney as its new head chef.

Sweeney (pictured) has been promoted to the role, having joined the pub at the beginning of 2023 and quickly moving up the ranks to senior sous chef.

"It’s been amazing seeing George progress during his time with us," says Daniel Crump, co-proprietor at The Greyhound. "He has grown so much with us over the last year and we’re very excited to see how his menus evolve."

Fine dining background

The Greyhound Pub is a Grade II-listed, 17th century former coaching inn. Husband and wife owners Daniel Crump and Margriet Vandezande-Crump previously worked in some of London’s most highly-regarded restaurants, including Michelin-starred Petrus and Trinity, three Michelin-starred Restaurant Gordon Ramsay, as well as the Oxford Blue in Old Windsor. 

They reopened The Greyhound, their first solo venture, in December 2019. The pub and restaurant serves modern British food, complemented by a diverse wine list, alongside local beers and ales.

"The past year and a half at The Greyhound has been amazing," says Sweeney. "I have learned so much from a number of different people, Daniel and Margriet in particular. The team's work ethic and passion for what we do every day is second to none so it was a no brainer for me to take this opportunity. I can't wait to get stuck in and improve on what is already an amazing kitchen."
