Our Chef
Alan Clarke is our Executive Chef here at Meldrum House Country Hotel and joined us in September 2021.
Aged 33 and originally from Forres, Clarke forged his career path when he won the Chef’s UK Accor Challenge Award for Britain, aged only 21. He then honed his skills under Shirley Spear, the renowned previous owner of The Three Chimneys in Skye, helping them retain their 3 AA Rosettes.
