Taking over the kitchen of a successful restaurant can be a challenge for any chef but even more so when that business is synonymous with the person whose name is still above the door.
For more than a decade, Made by Bob in Cirencester has been associated with James ‘Bob’ Parkinson, the chef who launched the restaurant in the Corn Hall after working in a number of top London restaurants.
But Parkinson has recently stepped away from the restaurant where he gained recognition as well as rave reviews and prestigious guide book entries.
After 11 years of cooking in Cirencester, he has decided to have a break from Made by Bob and his shoes have been filled by new executive chef Ethan Rodgers.
Previously part of the award-winning Lucky Onion Group and a chef at the Bell Inn in Sapperton, 39-year-old Rodgers is no newcomer to successful restaurants.
He won his first AA rosette and Bib Gourmand at just 25, and started his career in London hotels The Dorchester and The Conrad.
