Galgorm Resort
& Spa in Northern Ireland recently hosted the annual World Luxury
Restaurant Awards Gala Event for 2018. This year, Forage at Wildekrans the
restaurant at the Endless Vineyards Lodge on the Wildekrans Wine Estate in
Botrivier, took home the continent winner in the Category of Best Head Chef!
The World Luxury
Restaurant Awards™ aims to highlight special features of restaurants, thereby
increasing competition globally and ultimately raising the level of food
quality and the standards of service in the luxury restaurant industry.
Hailing from King
Williams Town, Chef Gregory Henderson (37) has many restaurant openings under
his belt, the most recent being Forage at Wildekrans and Khuraka (Forage in
Hindu) at their sister hotel Endless Horizons in Durban North. Forage
restaurant is situated on Wildekrans Wine Estate in the Western Cape, and
provides the perfect escape when you need time off from your busy schedule,
offering gourmet cuisine at its best. Chef Greg prides himself in delivering
unique, tantalizing dishes, using ingredients from their own pastures, to
deliver an indigenous dining experience, worthy of international
recognition.
The restaurant
ethos has a solid emphasis on Cape Heritage and indigenous ingredients which
allows for the chefs from the restaurants to forage daily. The estate is home
to a variety of fynbos species including the endangered Renosterbos, wild
plants and other interesting finds, combined with traditional cooking methods
which then make for a unique and interesting dining experience.
Having clinched the
second international award at Forage Restaurant in 2 months, Chef Greg says
that focus and a strong sense of persistence is what he lives by, and is what
he attributes to his success thus far.
This is one chef to
keep an eye on, as he still has a few tricks up his sleeve, and many other
awards that he is working toward winning.
