About John Mundell

John Mundell has come a long way, having grown up on the tiny Isle Of Wight in the south of England.

Growing up he enjoyed cooking at home with his mum and his aspirations were to be like the famous “Anton Mosimann“ of Mosimanns in London from a very young age…

A career which is well into it’s 22nd year started back at the Isle of Wight technical college. A two year full-time course with weekend work in a local restaurant.

Then up to the big smoke and The London Hilton on Park Lane for 2 years.

From there it was a move to a Michelin stared restaurant in Walton street, “walton’s restaurant” now no longer. From here it was a move that was really a highlight of my career an 18 month stint at Mosimanns private dinning club in Belgravia.

This world renowned Swiss chef who has just celebrated his 60th birthday at the Dorchester Hotel, where he was executive chef with his two michelin star Terrace restaurant now entertaines from his private club.

From there it was over seas to Switzerland and to the 5 star Hotel Belevue Palace in Bern a member of the leading Hotel of the World for 1year. Then over the boarder to Germany and to the 5 star Wald and Schloss Hotel in Friedrichruhe Relais & Chateaux with two michelin stars and 19 Gaulit milau points, this has to have been the very best food that I have seen delivered to it’s patrons consistently for 18 months, hats off to chefs Lothar Eiermann & Werner Fuchss.

From here it was to a small pension in the Black Forest (schwarzwald) to help out a fellow chef, after 9 months it was time for another move, back to Switzerland , this time to the other 5 star hotel in Bern Gauer Hotel Schweizerhoff. Hear I stayed two years, before moving to Australia and to Coober Pedy in S.A.

The Dessert Cave Hotel Small Luxery Hotels of the World, here for 2 more years, the from the dust to the beach and over to Yeppoon and the Rydges Capricorn International Resort for 18 months. Then to Jaydeez then Lure after a total refurbishment for another 2 years.

Currently at Rosslyn Bay Resort and Beaches Restaurant & Bar. It hasn’t been all work and no play, I have managed to travel the world with major holiday’s in between jobs. That’s another story….
