A head chef who lived through apartheid South Africa as a child and lost his father when he was just 10 years old is now taking Hoylake by storm thanks to his impressive culinary creations.
Darryn Jones, 36, is the head chef at 21st Amendment, where he serves up small plates and Sunday roasts that are proving popular with customers. The speakeasy style restaurant and bar has been popular since opening in The Quadrant in Hoylake, with the quality of food and drink being praised by diners.
The restaurant's kitchen team was selected by award-winning local chef, Sam Creedon. Having mentored Darryn at other restaurants, he immediately asked him to take on the role of head chef. Sam said: "When I was given the task of selecting the kitchen team at the new venue, Darryn was my first choice for head chef. He's worked for me for years and is an amazing chef - thoughtful, creative and highly skilled. The new menu has gone down a storm and we've been getting fantastic feedback and reviews."
