Martin Towse - Head Patisserie
Martin has a natural talent for creating the most amazing tasting and eye-catching patisserie and homemade chocolates – and he’s received praise from the highest quarters.
Chef Michel Roux proclaimed Martin’s work as “ some of the best I have ever tasted in the UK, a pleasure for the eyes, and a wonderful display of skill at its best!" Martin started work at the Black Swan in June 2007 with the brief to develop new recipes, patisserie and homemade chocolates for the launch of the tearoom in December 2007.
Owner Simon Rhatigan and general manager Simon Murphy had the unenviable job of weeks of tasting the new creations –the results of which guests can taste for themselves on a daily basis.
Martin previously worked at the Michelin starred Auberge du Lac, as head pastry chef for top tv chef Jean-Christophe Novelli.
A visit to the Black Swan isn’t really complete without trying some of Martin’s handiwork – or at least taking some patisserie or chocolates home to share with those you love!
