Born and raised in Burnley, Head Chef Graham Gardner has over 30 years of experience in the catering game and continues to raise standards at the iconic Hotel Sheraton in Blackpool.
Beautifully situated on Queen’s Promenade with stunning views of the Irish Sea, the family-run hotel offers a salubrious holiday setting with nightly live entertainment, a heated indoor swimming pool and jacuzzi, plus some of the finest food and drink to be found on the Fylde coast.
In the recently refurbished restaurant, Graham and his team wow guests throughout the day and night with their thoughtful and flavour-forward approach to food. Offering a bountiful breakfast with classics such as kippers, a varied all-day bar menu, an indulgent afternoon tea spread and a seasonal three-course dinner menu, Graham is passionate about taking advantage of the fantastic local ingredients, growers and producers.
“We’re blessed to have some fantastic produce on the Fylde coast,” says Graham. “We try to utilise it wherever possible, whether it’s the freshest catch of the day from Fleetwood Docks, magical meat from our local butcher or the best seasonal veg from the incredible growers and farmers. This recipe can be made in the summer when the fresh berries are in season but with the frozen Country Range Summer Berry Mix, it can be a classic all year round.”
