Meet the Head Chef – David Skerry at The Vicarage

Yes, Chef.

 The Beloved Sunday Roast

If there’s one dish that’s synonymous with The Vicarage, it’s the Sunday Roast, a true British culinary tradition. Chef David Skerry has elevated his own classic comfort meal to an art form. His attention to detail, precision, and love for showcasing the richness of flavors in every element on the plate make the Sunday Roast a culinary masterpiece that we all know and love.

The Inspiration Behind Becoming a Chef

For David,  the journey into the culinary world began with an innate love for creativity. The ability to conceptualize an idea and translate it into a dish that wows and delights people is what drew him to the world of cooking. From experimenting with different flavors and textures to playing with presentation, he found an avenue to express his creativity through food. This passion continues to fuel his dedication to crafting unforgettable culinary experiences for diners at The Vicarage.

Unity in the Kitchen

Behind every successful restaurant is a tightly-knit team working in harmony, and Chef David Skerry thrives in this environment. He cherishes the camaraderie that emerges in the fast-paced and demanding kitchen setting. Coming from diverse backgrounds, the kitchen staff at The Vicarage come together as a cohesive unit to deliver excellence to every table. The shared goal of creating outstanding dishes binds them, and the energy in the kitchen is electric with excitement, making every day a new adventure.

Unveiling Chef Skerry’s Ultimate Comfort Food

Even culinary maestros have their comfort food, and for Chef David Skerry, it’s all about embracing nostalgia. When the pressures of the kitchen subside, he finds peace in a plate of turkey dinosaurs (we still hate the fact that they got banned). This cracking freezer meal of flavors takes him back to simpler times, reminding him of the joy of uncomplicated, familiar dishes that warm the heart, even if they’re not the most nutritious…

Navigating the Palette

Even though David  has a remarkable affinity for crafting delectable dishes, there’s one ingredient that doesn’t quite make it onto his favorites list – hazelnuts. While they might be a favorite for some, he simply isn’t captivated by their flavor profile. This preference illustrates the diversity of tastes that drive the world of cooking and highlights the uniqueness of each chef’s palate.
