Who is the chef?

Jamie Bailey - "I co-own the White Hart in Pulborough next to Stopham bridge along with my Wife, Brother -in -law and Sister- in -law. I have been a chef for the past 24 years and have worked in 7 different kitchens over the years. The White Hart is a gastro pub. I skilfully plan our menus and evolve our food throughout the different seasons. I try to use the finest locally sourced seasonal ingredients where possible to ensure our food is outstanding. My goal has been to create and serve classic dishes with quality ingredients paired with great wine. Here at Secret Cabins, I would love to offer you the Private Chef dining experience and take you on a journey to excite your taste buds by cooking delicious and flavourful dishes. I believe the dining experience is more than just cooking a meal and involves putting together a blend of tasty ingredients to create unique mouth-watering flavours that go beyond the sensory experience. I look forward to sharing my expertise."
