Head Chef - Travellers Rest Restaurant
Andy Coomber started his career as a chef in 1989 at Scarborough Technical College, where he passed his City and Guilds 706/102 Certificate. This took him to the Wrangham House in Hunmanby before heading in land over to Harrogate 11 years ago. His passion is quality good cooking that everyone loves. One of Andy's favourites is his Legendary Steak Pie, where customers have come from a far for the heart warming flavours.
