“Come and join us for a celebration of Beaujolais! The third Thursday of November heralds ‘est arrivé’ of Beaujolais Nouveau – The first release of the fresh and juicy 2024 Beaujolais bottled just 6 – 8 weeks after the harvest. I’m excited to bring this new release as well as others to Sandbanks, paired with Jack’s traditional French dishes.”

Charlie and Jack
Charlie is enthusiastic about creating extraordinary dining experiences with excellent wine.
Charlie is a familiar face on television, with appearances on BBC’s Saturday Kitchen, and co-hosting Wine, Dine and Stein with brother Jack. Charlie regularly hosts masterclasses, wine dinners and can often be found pottering around one of our restaurants, checking in with customers. As Director across all of our restaurants, Charlie is responsible for each of our wine lists and our successful online wine shop. Every bottle is chosen by Charlie, utilising his connections made during his travels to bring the very best wines to our customers.
For Jack, it’s all about the food – working with suppliers to create the best menus possible for our restaurants.
Jack kicked off his career working as a kitchen porter during the school holidays, and at 16 tried his hand at front of house, working as a waiter throughout the remainder of his professional education. His heart was set on cooking though, and he re-entered the family business after working as a chef at restaurants across the world, including La Régalade in Paris, before extensive travels to Australia, the Far East and Japan. Jack has been Chef Director of our restaurants since 2017, overseeing every menu.
