The Shire Collection, owners of The Peach Tree restaurant in Shrewsbury, have welcomed back Chris Burt (pictured above, centre) as executive chef, a post he previously held at the venue for more than 20 years.

Since leaving the eatery in 2017, Chris has worked at two of the county’s most celebrated establishments. He is also the author of the critically acclaimed Momo-No-Ki cookbook.

Commenting on his return to his previous stomping ground, Chris said: “Walking into The Peach Tree on my first day brought back many happy and joyful memories.

“I’m thrilled to be joining the team and look forward to helping restore the restaurant as the jewel in the crown of Shrewsbury town!”
