Boldwin Barlow is the new executive chef at Park Inn by Radisson Cape Town Newlands

The Park Inn by Radisson Cape Town Newlands has appointed up-and-comer Boldwin Barlow as its new executive chef. The young chef - he is just 27 years old - takes inspiration from traditional home cooking to Cape-style dishes and seafood, which he fuses with French elements.

Before he joined the Radisson Hotel Group in 2016, Barlow had worked in hotel properties, restaurants and venues across Cape Town including the Ambassador Hotel, Lord Charles Hotel, the Mediterranean-style and sushi restaurant Sotano, and Hartenberg Wine Estate. During his time at the Radisson Hotel Group, he rose through the ranks from sous-chef to executive chef, gaining experience in the kitchens of both Park Inn by Radisson Cape Town Newlands, where he worked previously, and Radisson Blu Le Vendome Hotel in Sea Point, Cape Town.
