GUEST CHEF
Gary Foulkes
A Michelin-Starred Collaboration in the Heart of Anglesey
On Saturday 12th July, we had the honour of hosting Chef Gary Foulkes, Executive Chef of the Michelin-starred Cornus, for one exclusive night of exceptional dining. The evening marked a homecoming of sorts — not only is Gary one of the most respected chefs on the UK restaurant scene, but as a North-West native, he’s long been a quiet influence on Y Marram’s own Ellis Barrie.
Thank you to everyone who made this night so special. To hear about future events and guest chef collaborations, stay tuned.
