A hidden gem - Andy Snowling

Andy has been working for Animal Inns since he was 16 and now at the ripe old age of 24 has been appointed head Chef of the groups North Norfolk hidden gem the Hunny Bell.

A previous winner of the 2005 EDP Young Chef of the Year, Andy has been the Sous Chef at the Award winning Wildebeest Arms for the past 18 months. Andy could have chosen the world of football for a career having trialled for Aston Villa at an early age but cooking is his great passion second only to his ever expanding young family.

Henry Watt proprietor of Animal Inns said ‘Andy is a real credit to himself, his family and to Daniel Smith our head chef at The Wildebeest. He started washing up pots and pans and has ended up as a head chef at only 24 being able to produce talent like this from within the business is a great testament to all concerned”
