Greyhound
owner named
Master of
Culinary Arts
Daniel Crump, co-owner of the Greyhound in
Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, has been
named as a Master of Culinary Arts (MCA) –
becoming one of just 25 people to have ever
achieved the accolade for service in the UK.
Crump, 33, was presented the award at Claridge’s
hotel in London on Friday 28 October in front of
more than 300 high-profile individuals from across
the hospitality sector, including Michel Roux Jr,
Alain Roux, and Raymond Blanc.
Launched in 1987 and held every four years, the
MCA recognises outstanding craftsmanship in
hospitality. As part of the MCA, professionals are
taken through a rigorous assessment process
and must prove advanced technical skill and
professional ability; demonstrate comprehensive
knowledge of the principles of sustainability
and the viability of our food sources throughout
the scope of the food chain; and support the
development of others.
Crump said: “I could not be prouder to have been
named a Master of Culinary Arts. It’s something
so many hospitality professionals strive to
achieve during their careers. This, along with
opening the Greyhound, is one of the proudest
moments of my career to date.”

This winter we welcome you, the local
communities of Beaconsfield and Amersham,
to help us help nature in your patch.
We have a number of projects and volunteer
sessions are running most days where you can
join us for the whole day or for a few hours to
give back to wildlife in Buckinghamshire.
Why? Meet new people, learn or enhance
practical skills and gain knowledge about our
precious landscape and the wildlife that lives
here. You never know we might even have
some fun too!!
We will be working in and on woodlands, chalk
streams, and various nature reserves as you might
expect but also hospital gardens and community
green spaces in need of some TLC.
We have a new native tree and shrub nursery
in Winchmore Hill and a wildflower nursery in
Tylers Green where your green fingers are really
welcome to help us too.
