Jordan has worked with Michael Caines for over 10 years and began in the kitchen as a college student, working for Michael at the former Royal Clarence Hotel in Exeter.
After impressing in that role, Jordan went on to continue his work with Michael at two Michelin starred Gidleigh Park as well as spending time working with the team at Williams Formula One.
He then went on to join the team at two Michelin starred; The Green House Restaurant in Dublin before returning to work with Michael once again as a Sous Chef upon the opening of Lympstone Manor in 2017.
Whilst working at Gidleigh Park in 2015, Jordan suffered from a rare illness called Guillain Barre disease and was left temporarily paralysed. He spent two months in hospital, learning how to walk again and has drawn on his experience to never give up and have the attitude that anything is possible.
After joining Lympstone Manor in 2017 and with our support throughout his rehabilitation, Jordan continued to be a pivotal part of our kitchen brigade.
Last year, he was promoted to Head Chef and has since been working towards the restaurant gaining a second Michelin star.
Jordan said: "It's been an amazing journey since I started working with Michael and it shows that any young chef can go on to make their dream a reality."
"Working at Lympstone Manor has been incredible and we are really excited to continue to develop and build on what we have already achieved since 2017."
A true hospitality professional at heart, his love and dedication for cooking shines through each day and each dish. The kitchen brigade is stronger than ever and it is without doubt down to his commitment and leadership. After seeing Jordan grow from a young Chef into the leading role today, Michael couldn’t be prouder of his development and personally supports his future aspirations.
