Paul Peters

Head Chef Paul Peters joined The Black Swan Hotel in 2009. Originally from Sydney, Australia, Paul has now adopted Helmsley as his home. Throughout his career, a journey which eventually brought him to Helmsley, he has worked at many great places such as Brown’s Hotel London, Lygon Arms, and Swissotel Tempel. Paul has also worked for some great chefs as well, including Marco Perrie White, Andrew Turner, and John Bourton Race. Paul has set his sights on giving a total food experience at The Black Swan. Whether it be a sandwich or afternoon tea in our famous tearoom, or dinner in The Gallery, the hotel’s 3 AA rosette fine dining restaurant, Paul and his team want to make every food experience a memorable one. Named ‘The Gastro Artist’ for his total food creativity, Peters’ food really is at home in his aptly named restaurant, The Gallery.
