FOOD AND DRINK

We always serve the good stuff. It’s one of our most dearly-held values. We only serve what we want to eat and drink ourselves. Our Head Chef and his skilled brigade devise our seasonal menus and our specials change daily. As well as celebrating our increasingly-vibrant British food culture, the focus on seasonal ingredients means we buy the best stuff when it’s at the best price. This way we keep prices sensible even though we’re buying top-quality ingredients.

Sharon Concannon, General Manager

Introducing the wonderful Sharon. Born Galway, Ireland and bred in Hertfordshire at the age of 14, Sharon started working as a waitress in the beautiful Shendish Manor House in her home county, where her Dad was a Director. Coming from a family of caterers and being surrounded by keen foodies her whole life, Sharon says she didn’t actually choose catering - it chose her! Originally the dream was to be a vet, but after encouragement from Dad, as he could clearly see her potential, Sharon enrolled to study hospitality at college. After learning great leadership skills from her Dad and earning her stripes in the industry, it was time to move to London with The Gilbert Scott. Working in Marcus Waring’s new venture, under a female General Manager was a great inspiration to Sharon, learning that success doesn’t come without hard work. Keen to learn more about different food cultures, Sharon took a sabbatical in her early career, travelling to thirteen different countries in three months, with Vietnam standing out, mostly for overcoming her fears of trying weird and wonderful food. Next it was on to a couple of pub groups to gain experience in running a business and learning vitally that ‘the guest interests always come first,’ before we were lucky enough for Sharon to join us at Peach, as General Manager at The Old Mill in 2017, now, she’s taking on The Boathouse to make it the best for miles around. On her days off Sharon can be found catching up with friends and family, with a glass of wine, or two, well let’s just say when they all go out together they have more than a good time. The fun starts here!


Phil Hughes, Head Chef

Phil grew up near one of the many roundabouts in Milton Keynes, and although his family stuck to traditional British fare, meal times were an important part of the day, shared around the table, grandparents and all. Despite dreams of becoming the next David Beckham, Phil began to notice food during holidays in France as a child, which led to his first job back home as a dishwasher at a family run Italian. Here he developed his taste buds by eating any leftovers he could get his hands on. It was here that his culinary education began, as he discovered what sort of character was required to ‘stand the heat’ in a real kitchen – and he loved it! Phil’s career continued in hospitality, but curiosity pushed him to experience front of house, which helped him find his voice, shape his personality, and grow in confidence before heading back to the stainless-steel engine, the kitchen, where he knew he truly belonged. Along the way, Phil flirted with independents as well as large groups, opening The Beach House in St. Albans, holding the kitchen at The Birch in Milton Keynes and leading large brigades for PCDG. Phil’s now an experienced Peach Head Chef and has earned more than a few stripes working in many of our pubs before settling at The Boathouse, where you’ll be able to sample some of the delights of his creations. Not only is Phil a blooming amazing chef, but he’s an all-round decent chap, who along with food is completely besotted with his daughter Millie, who willingly help him with his food research on a weekly basis with experimental dinners at home or seeking out the next best places to eat.
