Details

Introducing a new chef to the Secret Table. We are delighted to welcome the founder of The Cumbrian Chef, Julian Ankers to our kitchen to showcase his passion for seasonal, locally sourced Cumbrian ingredients.

Julian’s culinary journey began in Staffordshire, where he owned a restaurant in Eccleshall for 14 years. In the early 2000s, he moved to the Lake District with his young family, eager to embrace a new life in this stunning landscape. Building on his experience he launched a fine dining restaurant in Kendal, where he worked for seven years before moving to Lancaster University to take on the role of Executive Chef.

Now, Julian has poured all of his passion and experience into founding The Cumbrian Chef, a private dining company that brings restaurant-quality cuisine to life using the finest local produce from trusted suppliers like Cartmel Game, Higginson’s Butchers, Caterite Food Service, Winter Tarn Dairy, and Stonehouse Smokery.
