In his 30th year in hospitality and still in love with it, Rob Mace is the Head Chef at The Crown in Southwold. He works very closely with the local supply chain and he believes that nature does most of the hard work so we don’t need to. "We just need to allow the ingredients to shine." Fish and seafood are a big feature on the Crown menus as they are a stone's throw from the sea, and seafood cookery is a great passion of his.

Rob will have a demo slot on each stage during the weekend and will be giving a talk at The Symposium to showcase the skills in home brewing and distilling.
