Jonathan Carter, General Manager

Although Jonathan came away from St Andrew's uni clutching a degree in maths and philosophy, he soon got distracted by the kitchen at The Old Course, the home of golf in the town. After poking his head round the door, he ended up working there for three years, graduating from buttering bread to junior sous chef. His love affair with the kitchen continued, first in a city centre eatery in Glasgow, then in the Blackburn Hotel, before the chance came to go front of house. Soon finding his feet in a small restaurant, Jonathan fancied the challenge of a bigger role and jumped at the opportunity to join Pitcher & Piano, a job which took him from Somerset to Newcastle. Now he thinks he's found the perfect job - running a great pub with good food and drink and great people.  We'll drink to that!  

Jeremy Kynaston, Managing partner

Jez’s mother confesses to being one of the worst cooks in the world – her egg curry still gives him nightmares. So it wasn’t until he flew the nest that he actually discovered just how good food could be. And what a discovery; he soon developed an obsession for fantastic food, which has taken him to some pretty amazing places. Once the youngest licensee in Birmingham, Jeremy’s had a three year stint at the Birmingham Metro Bar & Grill before packing his bags and heading for Warwick. He’s been busy ever since making sure everyone else shares his passion for fine food, wine and ales, and his ‘Pub Club’ tasting nights are always a knockout success.

Rob Hartwell, Head Chef

Welcome to Rob who first started out as a chef at our sister pub The Fleece in Witney a few short years ago! Since then, he's notched up some extraordinary milestones, including winning the highly coveted Acorn Scholarship which took him on a culinary whirlwind tour of Australia and the Far East, rising through the ranks at another sister pub The Fishes in North Hinksey and opening The Almanack, a fantastic modern gastropub in Leicester's trendy Highcross. Rob's an amazingly inventive chef with a huge passion for trying out exciting new ingredients as well as doing brilliant things with familiar ones. Watch out for some inspirational dishes flying out of his kitchen - the food's going to be amazing!    

The Team

We’ve recruited a great bunch of people in the kitchen, behind the bar and in the restaurant, but we’re always looking for new talent

Lee Cash, Owner

Lee is co-founder of Peach and our number one foodie. His passion for food came from his mum, who always got great food on the table even though cash was in short supply. After catering college, a stint at Brian Turner’s restaurant in Walton Street endorsed his love of fine food and a vision was born. Lee set off on his travels around the world collecting ideas and inspiration and landed back at the Bath Spa Hotel. Precious time off saw Lee jumping on the next train to London to check out the latest hot-spots and he soon grabbed the chance to work for Raymond Blanc in his latest venture, le Petit Blanc. After five inspirational years with Raymond, Lee decided to go it alone. He was lucky enough to meet Hamish who was looking to start a new business, and the rest is history!
